It is partly due to our relationship with Holland America Line, that we decided to form a dedicated Strategic Business Unit focusing on the cruise and marine logistics industry,” said the Chairman and Owner of Blue Water Shipping, Kurt Skov.
The supply chain operation in the facility is a broad mix of logistics solutions – ranging from cross docking of dry, chilled, and frozen ship supplies, crew mails and technical spare parts, as well as running a full Vendor-Managed Inventory setup.
Aside from the warehouse operation, a global team of professionals at Blue Water Shipping’s offices in important cruise hubs worldwide provides round-the-clock services to the cruise ships, such as port agency, customs clearance, stevedoring, crew change, last-mile delivery, transportation and repair works.
Since 1999, the company has been specialized in transport and logistics solutions to the cruise and marine industry.
Long-standing and close cooperation with most of the global cruise lines has provided Blue Water Shipping with an insight into the rapidly growing leisure industry, it said.
“When COVID-19 became a reality in March 2020, we quickly identified this as a major threat to our business unit servicing the cruise industry.
