Blue Water Shipping

Blue Water Shipping is an international transport and logistics company from Denmark that moves cargo by road, sea, air and rail, with offices around the world.

The company was founded in 1972. It now has more than 80 offices and about 2,500 employees. Each office combines the global network with local knowledge. Blue Water says it serves clients with solutions built around their supply chains.

Air is one part of the offer. Customers get access to air freight, courier services and air chartering based on their needs. The company also lists aerospace logistics and air charters as areas of expertise. Air and sea are grouped together as one business area.

Road transport uses a large fleet of modern trucks. The company handles full loads, part loads, groupage and temperature-controlled goods. It runs its own terminals and a European terminal network for groupage. Sea freight uses its network of offices and links with the major shipping lines. Rail is offered as a lower-impact option. A courier service covers fast door-to-door shipments. The company also provides port service and port agency to vessels and crews.

Blue Water handles project transport, including oversize cargo and heavy lifts. Its renewables team has worked with wind and solar from the early days. Other business areas are oil, gas and projects, reefer logistics for cold chain goods, the North Atlantic, and marine logistics for the cruise and marine industry. Further expertise areas include data centre logistics, government and defence logistics, mining logistics, exhibition and event logistics, aid and development, warehousing and e-commerce logistics, stevedoring and vessel chartering.

Support services include cargo insurance, customs, IT solutions and health, safety, security, environment and quality work. The company also helps customers cut transport emissions. It describes two routes: insetting, which means choosing lower-emission fuels and more efficient methods, and offsetting, which means paying for certified climate projects.

One customer story covers moving cold storage units to hospitals in Ukraine with a manufacturer partner.
