Ocean Freight

Ocean freight remains the backbone of global logistics — especially for industrial, oversized, or high-volume cargo that simply cannot move by air or land alone. At Haubot, we don’t treat ocean freight as just a slower, cheaper alternative. We treat it as a strategic tool, engineered and orchestrated for maximum reliability, safety, and cost-efficiency.

Whether you're shipping full container loads (FCL), less-than-container loads (LCL), break bulk cargo, or coordinating full-scale project movements, our team handles every element with precision. From the moment your shipment is booked, Haubot takes control — planning the route, selecting the optimal carrier, managing customs documents, and supervising port-side operations at both departure and arrival.

We understand that real-world logistics don’t start and end at the port. That’s why our ocean freight services extend far beyond the water itself. We manage the inland pre-carriage from your supplier to the port, supervise the container stuffing or cargo lashing process, monitor vessel schedules in real time, and coordinate the final leg of delivery via truck, rail, or barge.

Full-Scale Ocean Logistics

Ocean freight with Haubot is never just a port-to-port job. We manage the full chain — from collection and loading at the point of origin to customs clearance and final delivery at the destination. That includes container selection, stuffing and securing of break bulk cargo, handling of customs documents, and coordination with port authorities.

Depending on your cargo profile, we select the most suitable ocean carrier — balancing reliability, routing efficiency, and cost. We offer both Full Container Load (FCL) and Less-than-Container Load (LCL) solutions, along with direct roll-on/roll-off options for heavy mobile equipment.

Our team works closely with certified agents and chartering brokers to ensure that your cargo not only sails on time — but arrives exactly as planned. With coverage across the Mediterranean, North Sea, Baltic region, and global east-west trade corridors, Haubot turns ocean freight into a precision tool, not a gamble.

Project Cargo & Oversize

Moving something that doesn’t fit in a container? We’ve got it.

Haubot specializes in project logistics for complex, large-scale cargo: turbines, generators, construction equipment, modular buildings, structural frames, and more. We handle break bulk and mixed cargo shipments that require custom loading plans, special vessels, and detailed coordination across rail, road, and sea.

Our chartering specialists secure vessels for voyages or long-term needs, negotiate directly with shipowners, calculate demurrage risks, and monitor operations on-site. We supervise cargo surveys, terminal handling, and every piece of port-side documentation — protecting your deadlines, budgets, and commercial interests.

We don’t outsource responsibility. We own the process.

What You Can Expect from Haubot


Ocean freight with Haubot means more than just reserving space on a vessel. We plan and manage every part of the shipping journey — from container reservation at origin, to packing and securing the cargo, and ensuring it reaches the port on schedule. Our team selects the most suitable carrier for each shipment, balancing speed, cost, and reliability according to the profile of your cargo and the requirements of your project.
Once at sea, we monitor transit milestones and ensure that customs procedures are initiated in parallel — avoiding unnecessary delays at the destination. Whether your cargo is moving as a full container load (FCL), less-than-container load (LCL), break bulk, or part of a large project, we coordinate the loading, documentation, and transfer across all required modes — including rail or truck before and after ocean transit.
For oversized units or mission-critical equipment, we offer project forwarding services that include route planning, cargo surveys, and chartering of specialized vessels when required. We also support shipments involving dangerous goods, dual-use items, or sensitive components that require special handling and compliant documentation.
With Haubot, you don’t deal with five different providers or piece together logistics on your own. You get one point of contact, full transparency, and global execution — from port to port, and beyond.
