What we offer

Ocean freight solutions for every shipment

From a shared container to a full vessel, we manage every aspect of your sea freight — from the factory gate to the final destination.

FCL – Full Container Load

20ft and 40ft standard and high-cube containers. Dedicated space, direct service, maximum security for your cargo. Ideal when you can fill a box.

LCL – Less than Container Load

Consolidated seafreight — share a container with compatible cargo and pay only for the cubic metres you use. Regular consolidations from major hubs.

Reefer Containers

Temperature-controlled ocean freight for perishables, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Continuous monitoring with full documentation and cold chain compliance.

Door-to-Door Service

Complete supply chain management: origin pick-up, export customs, ocean leg, import clearance, and final-mile delivery. One call, one bill, full accountability.

Break Bulk & Out-of-Gauge

Project cargo and machinery that won't fit a standard container. We manage breakbulk vessels, flat racks, and open-top solutions for oversized shipments.

Port-to-Port

Pure ocean leg when you or your partner manages first and last mile. We secure competitive slot pricing through our volume contracts with major carriers.

Why HOPI for ocean

Carrier relationships that translate to better rates and service.

We combine volume leverage with hands-on management — so your shipments move, even when the market is tight or disrupted.

Competitive pricing

Volume contracts with all major carriers — MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd and more — give us rate access that smaller shippers can't match alone.

Active shipment tracking

ETD/ETA updates throughout the voyage. We monitor port congestion, vessel changes, and routing disruptions — and act before problems reach you.

In-house customs expertise

Our customs brokers handle EU import declarations, preferential duty claims, and complex multi-country origin documentation.

Global trade lanes

Access to all major east-west and north-south corridors: Asia-Europe, Transatlantic, Asia-Americas, Intra-Asia. Wherever your cargo needs to go.

One network, seamless delivery

Wherever your container lands – let it be Hamburg, Rotterdam, Gdańsk or other – our road network takes it to the final destination without changing hands or losing visibility.

Complete documentation

Bill of lading, certificate of origin, insurance, phytosanitary certificates — we coordinate all required documentation so nothing holds up your cargo at customs.

Key trade lanes

Connected to the world's major shipping corridors

Our carrier relationships and booking volume give us consistent access to capacity on all major trade routes — including during peak season and market disruptions.

Red Sea disruption resilience

Since the Red Sea / Suez Canal crisis of 2023–2024, we have maintained reliable capacity for our customers via Cape of Good Hope reroutings, intermodal alternatives, and strategic booking adjustments — minimising the impact on transit times and cost.
