Our expert staff

As specific product experts in hazardous cargo transport, Vanguard staff provide customers with the peace of mind that comes from a long track record of safety and compliance. Hazardous goods shipment presents not only a physical and environmental risk, but also a logistical and financial one. Identifying and addressing regulatory compliance issues reliably requires knowledge of legislationextensive product expertise, and unwavering attention to detail – and these are the watchwords in our dedicated DG team, one of the largest in-depth HazMat divisions in the NVOCC sector. In our warehouses, meanwhile, certified DG staff provide on-site handling and on-the-ground correction capability as part of the integrated approach.

The specific capacities of our infrastructure and the excellence of our personnel combine to give Vanguard a commanding position in hazardous cargo compliance – which is why our customers trust us with thousands upon thousands of sensitive shipments every month.
