Marfret, at the heart of exchange

Fascinating activity, maritime transportation demands deep involvement from its stakeholders and daily decision-making. Each participant in the transportation chain, from the captain to the shipping agent and handler, has a role to play in staying on course and steering the company safely to port despite storms.

With the globalization of the economy, maritime trade is booming thanks to containerization, port modernization, and regular shipping routes.

While major shipping companies use increasingly large vessels, leading them to focus on major ports and then rely on feeders to transship goods, Marfret, on the other hand, prioritizes direct calls to ensure the best service: security and timeliness.

Extremely well-positioned on major North/South maritime routes, Marfret has patiently built its regular line routes with broad global coverage and over 80 ports of call.

With its containers, Marfret provides an integrated and multimodal end-to-end service.

Marseille Fret, the company’s original entity, guarantees a very high level of reliability for the vessels operated by Marfret.

Shaped by a culture of openness and adventure, the company has always seized development opportunities, like its original activity of “tramping,” which involves picking up abandoned cargoes.

In the era of globalization, Marfret proves that it is possible to build common solutions with ports, port communities, and shippers.
