Our Services
The National Forwarder is arguably the leading freight forwarding in handling Marine and Ships’ Spares in Transit. Many shipping companies use the services of National to collect and deliver their shipments from their parts suppliers or distribution centres, to their vessels, and vice-versa.
The transportation and freight of ships’ spares is complex. It takes a dedicated and experienced team to ensure that every part of the supply chain is smooth. Failures to deliver spares on-time can be very costly affairs. With us, customers enjoy a truly “one-stop shop” for all their logistics needs. We provide a single contact point, hence eliminating the hassle of coordinating with multiple parties in various countries..
General Cargo Details
The National Forwarder provides competitive freight forwarding rates and solutions to all our customers. With our direct relationships and steady volumes with the airlines and shipping lines, we enjoy special booking reservation priorities and rates through higher economies of scale.
Our regular customers come from a wide array of industries, namely electronics and mobile phone distributors, healthcare products, automobile importers, merchandisers and traders.

The National Forwarder has a department dedicated to arranging International shipments. This team works with our network of efficient and reliable partners to provide seamless movements of orders from the point/s of supply or manufacture up to the intended final destination/s, often without the need for it to come to Singapore. Customers’ orders can be consolidated in our regional hubs prior to shipping or deliveries at the respective regions.
Our clients also enjoy savings in shipping costs and reduced delivery time by shipping their orders direct to the end users. If shipments need special markings and a switch of documents, The National Forwarder is able to do this prior to shipping.
All our customers claims that communication is more efficient because they only need to coordinate with one controlling party, instead of liaising with suppliers, consignees, agents and other relevant parties from multiple parts of the world.
