Logistics

To cater to the diverse logistical requirements of its broad spectrum of international business counterparts, ARK charters and uses hundreds of ships, including those owned by the company, ranging from container vessels, river barges, tankers, handysize, supramax, and panamax bulk carriers. 

In addition to its own company-owned vessels and in-house chartering departments in the Americas, ARK maintains long-term contracts and engages the services of leading chartering agencies and shipping carriers worldwide to ensure competitive rates for the company and its clients.  As freight is a crucial cost component in the ever more competitive commodity trade, a global team that works around the clock ensures the most competitive freights, timely vessel fixtures, and voyage management, all of which contribute to a smooth and cost-effective execution of shipments with clients and business partners. 

ARK is one of the few trading companies in the industry to maintain its own contingency of containers, vessels, trucks, and airplanes to use, when necessary, in its logistics operations in support of each and every transaction.

With a dedicated team of over 35 specialized employees specifically earmarked for this purpose, ARK is more than certain that all the logistical requirements involved with any and all transactions are and can be met in a timely fashion.
