Outsourced freight expertise for companies that buy, sell, or move bulk and project cargo — without the fixed cost of building an internal freight department.
More than a broker. Less than a full internal department.
Fredheim Logistics provides outsourced commercial freight management for companies that move cargo but do not want to build a full internal freight desk.
We help cargo owners, purchasers, traders, terminals, and industrial companies manage ocean, barge, and inland freight with commercial discipline and experienced oversight — structuring freight properly, protecting margin, and reducing execution risk.
Engage Fredheim for one stage or the entire voyage — from setting strategy through to final discharge.
Read the market, time decisions, and set a freight approach that fits your cargo and risk appetite.
Source competitive ocean tonnage across the right owners, operators, and trade lanes for your cargo.
Connect ocean legs to barge, rail, and road movements so the chain holds together without gaps.
Negotiate contracts of affreightment and spot fixtures on commercially sound, defensible terms.
Review charter party terms and protect your commercial position before you commit.
Manage brokers and carriers so responsibilities and accountability stay clear throughout.
Benchmark rates and structure against the market to confirm you are paying fairly.
Track laytime, control demurrage exposure, and handle claims with discipline.
Align terminal operations and cargo flow to keep vessels, stock, and schedules moving.
Oversee execution from nomination to discharge, so nothing slips through the cracks.
For organisations handling bulk, breakbulk, project, industrial, and commodity cargoes.
Freight is often the largest controllable cost in the supply chain — and one of the easiest places to quietly erode margin.
Poor structure, weak market timing, unclear responsibilities, and unmanaged voyage execution can turn profitable cargo into a loss.
Fredheim gives you access to senior commercial freight experience — applied to your specific cargo, lanes, and contracts — without the fixed cost of building it in-house.
The result: freight structured properly, margin protected, execution risk reduced, and better commercial decisions made with confidence.
Hiring a full freight team is expensive, slow, and often unnecessary. A broker quotes rates but owns none of your outcome. Fredheim is the disciplined middle.
Transaction-focused and useful — but the broker doesn't carry your commercial outcome, structure your strategy, or manage execution end to end.
Commercial discipline, market guidance, and execution oversight that scales with your cargo volume, project activity, or market opportunity.
A dedicated team gives control, but is expensive to build, slow to stand up, and hard to staff with genuinely senior commercial experience.
One-off commercial support for a specific cargo or voyage.
Ongoing freight management for a repeating cargo flow.
Structure and negotiate contracts of affreightment over time.
Broader, fully managed commercial freight oversight.
Better freight decisions. Better cargo economics.
