About
A logistics partner built on trust and technology
To make moving goods across borders simple, transparent and dependable for businesses of every size.
Our story
Meridian Freight started in 1998 as a two truck forwarding company at the Port of Rotterdam. Today we move cargo across more than 120 countries by air, sea, road and rail, with our own warehouses, fleet and customs brokers on four continents.
What has not changed is how we work: one accountable team for every shipment, honest communication when plans change, and technology that gives customers the same visibility we have.
We are an asset backed and asset light hybrid. We own trucks and warehouses where control matters most, and we buy air, ocean and rail capacity from the best carriers in each market so you always get the right mode at the right price.
