Overview
Getting cargo to the port is only half the job. Our onboard delivery teams align with ship agents, launch services, and terminal rules so consignments reach the Master or chief engineer as planned.
Onboard delivery is the last controlled step in maritime logistics. Cargo that stops at a warehouse or terminal gate still leaves risk on the table—especially when the vessel’s window is measured in hours.
MarineCaddie stages consignments near the call, confirms access rules with agents and terminals, and arranges berth, launch, or approved handover points so the Master or chief engineer receives the goods as planned.
We treat labelling, packing integrity, and attendance timing as part of the delivery—not afterthoughts. If ETA shifts, we re-sequence staging rather than forcing a failed attempt against a closed gate.
This service pairs naturally with ship spares logistics and vessel husbandry so one desk owns both the long haul and the final metres to deck.
Ports differ in access culture. Some terminals want pre-alert lists, some launches need daylight, and some agents insist on a named officer for receipt. We collect those rules into the delivery brief so the attending team is not improvising at the rail.
When cargo is sensitive or high-value, we tighten chain-of-custody notes and photo evidence. Your desk should be able to file the handover without chasing WhatsApp fragments later.
