Our Services

As the world’s premier LCL operator with a worldwide proprietary network, we have a truly global, hands-on presence. We offer comprehensive neutral airfreight capability at our trademark level of service.

Vanguard has more owned and directly operated CFS and warehouse locations than any other NVOCC. The global network of facilities is a key element of our world-class LCL service offering, forms a central plank in our expertise in handling hazardous cargo, and allows us to offer a full range of value-added services.

International shipping does not stop at transportation, but requires deep local expertise of customs. We partner to manage customs documentation, compliance and processes – whether that is your preferred broker or one from our own network. Whatever requirement or jurisdiction. We get it done.

While we’re renowned for our expertise in LCL, we’ll apply the same knowledge and experience to your FCL too.

When it comes to transporting dangerous goods, Vanguard’s global controlled network of owned and managed facilities is of more value than ever. Combined with the expertise of a world-class in-depth hazardous team, this infrastructure allows Vanguard to deliver faultless process and regulatory compliance. As a result, we are the go-to partner for a variety of freight forwarders and chemicals companies when it comes to LCL hazardous cargo ocean transport.

Our strong road capabilities allow us to provide seamless, door-to-door shipments for seagoing cargo and offer stand-alone LTL solutions for domestic use in America and Europe.

As a leading neutral non-vessel-operating common carrier (NVOCC) with a larger owned network than any other provider, Vanguard is ideally placed to offer fully-integrated IPI and Gateway programs to support global ocean freight consolidation services. These unique capabilities allow us to optimize inland costs for our customers to an unparalleled degree.

By its nature, LCL is something of a jigsaw, with many pieces to the puzzle. It calls for expertise, agility, and a can-do team of people. A giant network helps too. Our vast web of own-managed facilities and trusted partner carriers gives us control of your shipment from seamless end to end.

Digital solutions are core to what we do because they give you the best value for your shipment. They make life streamline and time efficient, creating real cost savings that we pass onto you.
