SEABOARD MARINE Shipping line

Seaboard Marine is an ocean transportation company that provides direct, regular service between the United States and the Caribbean Basin, Central and South America.

Established in 1983, Seaboard Marine is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seaboard Corporation. We have identified unique and profitable opportunities in more than twenty-five countries while adapting to constantly changing environments. With each office and location contributing steadily to our company's growth, Seaboard Marine is a trade leader in the Western Hemisphere.

Our success in the region for over 25 years has enabled us to expand into new markets. We now serve nearly forty ports in over twenty-five countries. Seaboard Marine's facilities include a private terminal of nearly 80 acres at the Port of Miami. We carry more cargo to and from the Port of Miami than any other carrier. Although this facility complies with and exceeds all governmental security mandates, it operates seven days a week, 365 days a year-- a unique convenience for our customers. We have deployed a system that integrates the use of over fifty cameras into an on-site command center monitored 24-hours.

Although we continue to have more than seventy monthly sailings from Miami, during the past few years, Seaboard Marine has successfully initiated services from other U.S. ports. We now offer weekly service to Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Trinidad, Colombia and all of Central America from Houston. We also operate our own 62-acre terminal in Houston called Jacintoport which has a similar camera system as the Port of Miami. We proudly serve Central America twice per week from New Orleans and will open our own dedicated terminal there in mid-2009. We offer a reliable weekly service to Haiti, Jamaica, and the Dominican Republic from Brooklyn. We also provide weekly service to Colombia, Venezuela, Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic from Fernandina Beach, Florida.

Seaboard's fleet consists of over 40 vessels and nearly fifty thousand (50,000) dry, reefer and specialized containers which supports direct service between the U.S. and major ports of call throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Our fixed-day schedules make it convenient for customers to coordinate manufacturing schedules and maintain inventories at cost-efficient levels.

Convenient schedules, outstanding customer service and an expanding fleet of ships both commanded and managed by a company of dedicated professionals, has become the trademark of Seaboard Marine.
