Usually sea freight general cargo consignments are collected at the points of departure by so-called NVOCC’s, which offer regular departures with calculable arrivals in the European northern ports such as Hamburg, Rotterdam or Antwerp. However, the on-carriages to Switzerland are often very irregular and take up to 14 days. As a result, your general Cargo shipments are often unpredictable as far as the exact transit time is concerned.

Our SwissConsol works the other way round! We collect our goods from worldwide routes in Rotterdam in a container and take them on guaranteed twice weekly deliveries in Switzerland. This way, your general cargo shipments will be forwarded within 3 – 4 working days from Nordhafen and your shipments and delivery dates will be scheduled precisely to the day.

We offer you this service from 182 ports worldwide with more than 80 direct Connections and therefore faster seafaring transit times.
