Every raw materials shipment comes with unique logistics challenges. That’s why we craft custom ocean freight plans tailored to your timeline, cargo, and destination. With the ASF Freight Platform, you gain end-to-end visibility from origin to delivery. Our strong relationships with leading carriers let us match the right transit time, route, and equipment—whether FCL or LCL for raw materials cargo—to optimize your global raw materials supply chain.
Our inland raw materials logistics solutions efficiently move non-hazardous bulk commodities using scalable drayage, rail, and intermodal transport for shipments such as coal, grains, steel, and minerals. We design tailored inland freight plans from port to production site, focusing on cost optimization, transit speed, and supply chain reliability.
Our team provides specialized raw materials logistics solutions for moisture-sensitive dry bulk cargo using temperature-controlled reefer containers. Operating in controlled environments, reefers safeguard grains, paper products, powders, and other dry commodities from humidity damage and condensation. By maintaining stable conditions throughout transit, ASF ensures product integrity, reduces spoilage, and safe, reliable raw materials shipping every time.
We develop tailored transport plans specifically for dry, non-hazardous raw materials by matching your cargo with the right equipment—from standard dry containers for palletized, bagged, or boxed goods to high-cube containers that maximize space for lightweight, bulk commodities. If your shipments require standard, high-cube, flat rack, or open-top containers, ASF prioritizes safety, efficiency, and reliability in raw materials logistics every step of the way.
We are exactly where your raw materials supply chain needs us: worldwide. As a trusted partner, we specialize in the unique local and regional requirements of raw materials logistics, ensuring security, stability, and regulatory compliance. Our expertise includes customized freight planning, transparent communication, and precise, on-time handling of your cargo; giving you confidence at every step.
