Short term Solutions
For over 40 years, Transway has been active as an international sea freight forwarder in the global sea transport business. We organise the entire process for you: from choosing the right mode of transport and loading equipment to seaworthy packing and reliable shipping. Our expert team offers you tailor-made transport solutions - whether full container (FCL), consolidated container (LCL), roll on/roll off, breakbulk or conventional shipments.
The world is turning faster every day, so the demands on the forwarding world are also increasing. With a large number of high-quality and reliable partners, we can also implement short-term transport solutions and deliver almost "Just In Time".
Long term Solutions
Price, duration and special requirements of the goods are the most important factors for overseas transport. In addition, there are legal regulations, peculiarities of the destination or exit countries and a few other things, but thanks to our comprehensive service, you don't have to worry about them. We only involve you in the planning process as much as you want us to and will be happy to advise you on how to handle regular transports particularly cost-effectively.
As a medium-sized company, we come into play with our offer especially when a transport is more extensive, goes to a region with which you have little experience or you need all capacities for what is the core competence of your company.
