Why ship with BOS Lines.
How we make shipping focus on the customer
Transit time from Itajaí to US destinations traditionally uses indirect services, leading to routings of more than 50 days.
- Ports
Flexibility to call any port
Our vessels carry 400 to 2,000 TEU and have no draft restrictions, so they can call at any port. A smaller ship also needs far less cargo to fill.
- Transit
Direct calls, shorter transits.
Direct sailings between underserved ports eliminates transshipment needs. We shorten the journey, remove the risk of tranship, and cannot omit port calls.
- Capacity
Space and rates you can plan on.
Shippers under an agreement get dedicated space and a rate that holds for a year. With a smaller group of dedicated customers, we can offer no-roll guarantees on cargo under agreement.
- Customer
The right vessel for the right customer
We work to identify specific customers with a specific demand for the lane. This allows us to be 100% customer focused and flexible on all terms and conditions.
