Cargo Handling, Customs & Last Mile

Getting cargo to Punta Arenas is one problem; getting it onto the vessel, into the bonded warehouse or onto an Antarctic flight is another. Fast Cargo covers the second half — reception, consolidation, transit cargo handling and delivery to the point of use.

Talk to our team

Fast Cargo also carries the customs matters of the call: clearances, temporary admission, bonded store deliveries and ship’s stores declarations — handled as part of the same file, not passed to a separate broker.

One chain of responsibility. The same company that receives cargo in Punta Arenas is the one that puts it on the deck, in the warehouse or on the aircraft — under one point of contact, from arrival to delivery.

Where it fits in the call

Cargo handling rarely stands alone. A vessel calling under a Strait of Magellan transit with activity will typically need cargo received and consolidated ahead of arrival; provisions and technical equipment move through Amundsen Ship Chandler; and the whole call is coordinated under the same point of contact as your port agency file.
