International Freight Forwarding from the USA
Ocean, air and multimodal freight coordinated from US origins to destinations worldwide through an international logistics network.For US exporters and logistics buyers
Coordinate the complete movement from a US origin
Freight from the USA can begin at a factory, warehouse, supplier location, inland terminal, airport or port. The first transport decision is therefore not only which international service to use, but how the cargo will connect from its actual origin to the selected gateway and onward destination.
Atlantic Way coordinates international freight from the USA through carriers and logistics partners. We review the cargo, origin, destination and requested timing, then organize suitable ocean, air or multimodal options without presenting Atlantic Way as a local carrier or transport-equipment operator.
