Our Story
For over 18 years, ABM Cargo has been the shipping partner of choice for businesses who refuse to compromise on reliability.
Our History
ABM Cargo was founded in 2006 with a single container route between Ningbo, China and Dubai, UAE — and a commitment to deliver every shipment as if it were our own. In an industry prone to delays and miscommunication, we set out to prove that ocean freight could be reliable, transparent, and client-first.
Over the next decade, we expanded methodically — adding Rotterdam as our European gateway, growing our vessel fleet, and building port agency relationships at over 120 terminals worldwide. Today, ABM Cargo handles more than 50,000 containers annually for clients across manufacturing, retail, food and beverage, and project cargo industries.
Our growth has never come at the expense of the personal service that defined us from day one. Every client — from a first-time importer to a Fortune 500 supply chain — is assigned a dedicated account manager who knows their business, anticipates their needs, and is reachable when it matters most.
Our Purpose
To deliver ocean freight solutions that are defined by precision, transparency, and an unwavering commitment to our clients' success — ensuring that every container we carry is treated with the same care as if it were our own.
To become the leading independent ocean freight carrier across Asia–Middle East–Europe trade lanes, recognised not just for the size of our fleet, but for the depth of our client relationships and the reliability of every shipment we handle.
Our Values
We communicate honestly, even when the news is difficult. Our clients always know the true status of their shipments.
Efficient doesn't mean rushed. We move cargo as fast as safely possible, without cutting corners.
We see ourselves as an extension of our clients' teams — not just a vendor, but a strategic logistics partner.
We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint through fuel-efficient routing and responsible port practices.
