Thomas Smith Shipping (Freight Forwarding & Port Agent)

Thomas Smith holds a leading market position in most shipping related services, namely container shipping, port agency, freight forwarding, project cargo, logistics, transshipments, warehousing, groupage and full load trailers, reefer cargo, airfreight, as well as nautical charts and publications. The staff within the shipping division offer key insight and recommendations to clients on the best method and route for cargo to be transported. Such guidance has proved invaluable when clients need to be advised of the most practical methods to get each job done, both on time and more crucially, to budget. This insight is gained from the knowledge passed down internally within the Group, the new systems and processes which have been integrated into the company’s workflow and through the wide spectrum of services that Thomas Smith has been offering for well over a century. Thomas Smith also caters for the Film Entertainment and Leisure, Business, Naval and Oil and Gas industries. Working on small- and large-scale projects in Tunisia, Malta, Libya and Algeria, Thomas Smith plays a key role in keeping these industries and clients fully provided for, whether at shore, within local waters or beyond. As the shipping world gets revolutionised, so has Thomas Smith. The all-new Thomas Smith Express was launched to anticipate and fulfil customers’ extended shipping requisites. Express services have always dominated Thomas Smith’s portfolio, but the position of this service as a distinct entity with the company’s other auxiliary offerings aims to enhance the superior benefits our customers enjoy. Thomas Smith Express is pushing its boundaries within the services of courier, dedicated trucking, last mile delivery, and e-commerce. One of the greatest testaments to the Shipping division’s success was the appointment as the local representatives for Maersk Line in Malta, a destination which has now become a central Mediterranean hub, for the biggest shipping line in the world.
