Ocean Freight - The RISA Way
We are an independent freight forwarder which means we have the flexibility to choose who we work with overseas; we “cherry pick” the best agents based on local expertise and their strength in the market place.
Our network gives us access to more shipping and airline contracts enabling us to be more “creative” with the way we move your freight. This wider choice of service options helps you decide the best one to suit your needs.
Insurance – don’t forget to!
