Acclaim Freight & Logistics Services

Acclaim Freight & Logistics Services is a family-owned shipping agent, freight forwarder and customs broker in Trinidad and Tobago. It handles cargo by sea and by air for both imports and exports.

The company was founded in 2007. The founders saw a need in Trinidad and Tobago for a better approach to freight forwarding, with close attention to each client. Its managers are veterans of the local shipping industry. Together they have more than 80 years of freight forwarding experience.

Acclaim moves cargo worldwide by sea freight and air freight. It runs NVOCC operations and clears goods through customs. It also offers value added logistics, door-to-door service, ground transport, and import of record and last-mile delivery. It handles full container loads and less than container loads. Once it has the shipment details, it prepares the bill of lading, dispatches the cargo and tracks it until it arrives.

Acclaim also works as a port agent. It provides port entry and exit services for all commercial vessels. Its staff know the rules for clearing vessels and work with the harbour authorities, immigration, customs and port health, as well as shippers and receivers. The company says it acts as agent for more than 60 vessels a month.

The company works with a wide group of freight forwarders and shipping agents abroad. These partners act on its behalf in their own countries. Acclaim has sub-offices close to the Trinidad seaports and airport. Staff there oversee loading and unloading, speed up paperwork and fee payments, and track shipments.

Acclaim stays small on purpose. It has no sales reps or account executives. A small, experienced team works with each client from start to finish. The company offers custom solutions so that clients of any size can manage their freight and logistics budget. Its staff attend regular training seminars to keep up with changes in global trade.
