ABOUT NORDVLOOT

Rooted in Rotterdam. Connected to the world. NORDVLOOT Logistics B.V. has been delivering maritime excellence for over 16 years.

Our Story

Built in Rotterdam. Trusted Worldwide.

NORDVLOOT Logistics B.V. was founded in Rotterdam in 2008 by a team of maritime professionals with a singular vision: to build a freight company that combines Northern European operational precision with genuine global reach.

Starting with a single Rotterdam–West Africa trade lane, we grew entirely by word of mouth — because in logistics, reputation is built on reliability. By 2013 we had expanded to Asia and the Americas; by 2017 we had achieved ISO 9001 certification and AEO-F customs licensing.

Today, NORDVLOOT manages thousands of shipments annually across 80+ ports in more than 40 countries. Our 45-person Rotterdam team works daily with a network of 120+ vetted agents and partners — including DHL, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, and Maersk — to deliver seamless logistics for our clients.

"We don't just move containers. We move businesses forward — reliably, visibly, and on time."
