Container Management

Sometimes, just moving cargo at the cheapest possible price is not always the most cost effective solution in the long run. Why take the risk of signing your own carrier contracts - we can show you how to get the best of both worlds and save on expenses at the same time. AIC offers a “premier value added” service where the supply chain requirements that the ocean carriers cannot provide are offered regardless of the fact that the shipments move on your contracts. By securing these services from AIC you will realize the full impact of your negotiated cost savings.

What Our Clients Say

End to End Transparency

“The end-to-end transparency has allowed us to make Logistics decisions to lower costs such as storage at port and the ability to reroute our freight to another port if a pattern of congestion.  One report in AmeriReports that actually helps with this is the “Ocean Carrier Transit Times with delivery”.  We are able to track from the sail date to the delivery date.  We are able to spot patterns of much longer transit times and investigate as to what the issue is and where we can make improvements.”
