The two non-vessel operating common carriers will begin consolidation in Prague by supplying full-container-load and less-than-container-load services to the freight forwarding community.
CaroTrans announced a new alliance with TransOcean Shipping (TOS) on Monday, beginning with consolidation and distribution in Prague.
Both companies are leading non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCCs) in Eastern, Southern and Central Europe. Together, they will provide full-container-load and less-than-container-load services to the freight forwarding community in those regions.
According to CaroTrans, Prague was chosen for its efficiency to and from Romania, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and other Central and Eastern European countries. Further expansion and coverage will come with the addition of Vienna, Austria, where TOS is currently headquartered, as well as the Port of Koper on the Adriatic Sea.
CaroTrans maintains offices all over the world, but oversees a specialized network of 13 North American offices and 25 container freight stations for shipping between North America and Central and Eastern Europe.
TOS maintains a fully integrated, EDI enabled IT system, and specializes as a neutral NVOCC within Southern and Eastern Europe.
