About Us

Home About Us

Captain Logistics Cargo is a trusted and experienced provider of smart solutions related to ocean freight forwarding, rail services, and domestic logistics, including warehousing and delivery. Our headquarters is located in Charleston, South Carolina where the process begins to optimize and customize supply chain solutions across our global network, spanning six continents. As a service focused company, we provide our customers with a highly flexible approach to supply chain management for standard ocean shipping, project cargo (including RO/RO & foreign-to-foreign cargo), and domestic logistics that is designed to meet any complex transportation needs with exceptional pricing options.

Captain Logistics Cargo began in 2002 as an import company focused and specializing in containerized full container imports from Asia and Latin America. Our company was built on the import of goods into the United States and grew to include exporting goods out of the United States to various countries around the globe. Customs broker services were added to assist clients in shipping cargo without having to source customs assistance elsewhere. With this focus on shipping internationally and assisting with customs brokerage, our company continued to grow and develop with a customer-focused mindset, intent on making shipping cargo more efficient and problem free.

The Tipping Point

With an everchanging and volatile transportation industry, both internationally and domestically, Captain Logistics Cargo decided to expand its services across all shipping markets to ensure we could provide our clients with the desired level of expertise in all areas of shipping. Expanding our focus to include specialized areas, such as project cargo and foreign-to-foreign shipping, has allowed our international services to be more well-rounded and suitable for our international client base in both imports and exports.

Additionally, growing our domestic division allowed us to breach markets locally in the United States enabling us to encapsulate expertise in all areas of transportation making Captain Logistics Cargo a single-source freight solution.

    Happy Client

    Just a quick note to you to tell you how much we appreciate Ted’s help on two recent shipments to Chicago. We had a supplier who made a mess of their SID# filing, and this caused a good deal of concern with the local FDA office. As we got the situation resolved, the case was transferred to a very challenging FDA officer in the local compliance division. Ted helped us navigate the challenges we faced and got our goods cleared in a week’s time –pretty incredible given the situation. We just wanted to make you aware of all the help that Ted gave us on this – we really appreciate your help in supporting our business!”

    I have been doing business with Captain Logistics Cargo Service for a couple of years. We send an antifreeze-type solution to China for various construction projects. To say that shipment dates, money transfers, and confusion to quantities require multiple changes before the project is actually shipped is an understatement. Captain Logistics Cargo Service takes every one of my changes with a positive attitude and a professional manner. Their flexibility and expertise in arranging my freight to get to its Chinese destination in a predictable and timely manner do what every manager hopes for. They make me look good.

    I have been working with Captain Logistics Cargo for over 30 years. I have always found their rates competitive, but it is their service that adds extra value for me. Their staff is knowledgeable and courteous and their response time is prompt. I know I can trust their expertise when inquiring on anything from customs regulations to import logistics in a new port….. Using them for our freight forwarding, customs brokerage and inland trucking allows us to maintain a smooth flow from the time the goods leave the factory until the time they reach our customer’s door and I can access real-time tracking along the way”

    WOW U KICKED SCHENKERS BUTT!!! Thank you so much…..OUR client is called Musuri and they have their company Logo on our Vitavacs product. They make special food for exotic animals like elephants – giraffes – lions, etc. They are a very cool company and just were bought by Land of Lakes so it was very important for this first-order to get to them in time for their Exotic animal show at the Marriott in Kansas City. Once again Thank you so much, Martin!

If you are looking for a Professional company to handle all of your importing and exporting needs you need look no further, The American Companies is the way to go!”

    Sy Mendlowitz

    My experience with the American Companies has been wonderful! I found their staff to be professional and courteous in every situation. They are very responsive to my shipping needs. Whether ocean or air, they seamlessly negotiate through all the scheduling and customs requirements, both foreign and domestic, with little involvement on my part. It’s not often that you can take a “hands-off” approach with a service provider in today’s business world. But, I trust them to get the job done and look out for my best interest each and every time. Their service is first class!”

    Ryan Bouts

    Being new to the international shipping scene when I assumed my current role, I needed to not only keep an eye on costs, but I also needed some education…And fast! Not only does the team at Captain Logistics Cargo do everything they can to secure the best rates for our freight, I have learned so much from asking questions of their expertise. The value add is immeasurable. Captain Logistics Cargo has proven to be more than a supplier to us. They are a steadfast partner in our business.
