Storage & Warehousing

We own our storage facilities, and the bonded area is what makes them different. Cargo, provisions and scientific equipment can be received, held under customs control and released directly to vessel or aircraft without ever leaving the regime — no duties triggered, no re-entry paperwork.

Talk to our team

Around the bonded area we offer general container and cargo storage: covered warehousing, open yard for containers and project cargo, receipt and inventory control, and consolidation before shipment. Multi-season inventories simply wait until the campaign needs them.

Two Antarctic gateways. Bonded warehousing is held at both Punta Arenas and Puerto Williams, so cargo can wait for the right vessel, aircraft or season at either gateway.

What the bonded regime buys you

No duties triggered, no re-entry paperwork

Cargo, provisions and scientific equipment stay under customs control from receipt to release — the regime is never broken along the way.

Released directly to vessel or aircraft

When the call or the flight is ready, goods move straight out of the bonded area, without a second clearance step.

Multi-season inventories, ready when needed

Equipment and stores held between seasons wait in the bonded area or general warehousing until the next campaign calls for them.

“We do not seek to be the largest. We seek to be the ones our clients trust when the operation cannot fail.”

Where it fits in the call

Bonded warehousing backs Antarctic logistics and cargo handling alike — provisions and equipment held under customs control until the vessel, the flight or the season is ready, coordinated through Amundsen Ship Chandler and the same port agency file.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What makes your storage “bonded”?

Cargo, provisions and equipment are held under customs control and can be released directly to vessel or aircraft without ever leaving the regime — no duties triggered, no re-entry paperwork.

Do you offer storage beyond the bonded area?

Yes. General container and cargo storage covers covered warehousing, open yard for containers and project cargo, receipt and inventory control, and consolidation before shipment.

Which Antarctic gateways hold bonded warehousing?

Both: Punta Arenas (PUQ) and Puerto Williams (WPU).

Can you hold inventory across more than one season?

Yes. Multi-season inventories are held until the campaign needs them, rather than shipped in from scratch each year.

Need somewhere for cargo to wait?

Tell us the cargo, the gateway and the timeline. We will take it from there.
