About us

American Shipping and Chartering opened its doors on May 1st, 1980.

Initially, American Shipping and Chartering was a port agency, but it later transitioned to become a very versatile shipping company offering its services for steel, break bulk, project cargo, and renewable energy.

We are proud to have a team of highly experienced shipping professionals who have spent many years in the industry. Our staff has an in-depth understanding of terms, ocean transportation market, carriers, and cargoes. They are our biggest asset, and we are always eager to learn and assist with your upcoming projects. Our company has been operating globally to date, and we are committed to providing exceptional services to our clients worldwide.

The coordination team of American Shipping and Chartering, along with our global agency network, can help you move your cargo from its origin to the final destination, using various modes of transportation such as trucks and barges and assisting the customers commercially to support the services they need. Rest assured about the delivery of your cargo as we provide a single-vendor solution.

In addition, we became part of Menzell Döhle’s Global Agency for Houston in 2021.

Quality Management and Control are an integral part of our management system and American Shipping and Chartering is proud and certified according to ISO-9001-2015 standards. The management system compliance is ensured through audits and frequent inspections.
