Value Through Innovation

Sweetwater Logistics exploits its broad range of experience and transportation knowledge by injecting the inherent value of containerized shipping into supply chains that have historically used breakbulk or bulk methods.

Strategic Themes

• Designing and Preparing a Commodity for Containerization
  Sweetwater Logistics partners with many leading players in the jumbo bag, product handling and container carrier industries.  These partnerships allow for a cost effective and innovative containerization program to be developed with you.
  
• Balance of Trade Review
  Sweetwater Logistics reviews our large database of global containerized commodity flows with your global traffic patterns to identify opposing traffic patterns. By mirroring your volumes with another commodities opposing traffic pattern a compelling and cost effective shipping program can be created with an ocean container carrier.
• Implementation
  Sweetwater Logistics smoothly and efficiently migrates your supply chain either partially or wholly to containerization.  This includes consideration for both the commodity (handling, documentation and security) as well as your employees (training, coaching and guidance).
