Forwarding, run directly — no middle brokers
Directly operated entities across 5 APAC countries and our own transport operations system handle everything from quote to customs to settlement in one control tower.
The reasons to switch forwarders are usually the same
Layers of brokers
When a forwarder re-subcontracts to local agents, accountability and cost become opaque.
No visibility
You chase phone calls and emails to find out where a shipment is or whether something went wrong.
Slow exception handling
Delays and release issues are reported to you only after the fact.
Leaking costs
Demurrage and detention (D&D) pile up without alerts and come back as invoices.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between forwarding and a forwarder?
Forwarding is the service of planning and executing the entire international transport process on behalf of a shipper; a forwarder is the company that provides it. Portlogics is a forwarder with a directly operated APAC network.
Which regions do you cover?
Centered on directly operated entities in Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and the United States, we cover major trade lanes across APAC.
Can small and mid-sized shippers use this?
Yes. We flexibly support businesses of any size, with both FCL and LCL.
Is switching from my current forwarder a hassle?
Share your current lanes and volumes when you request a quote, and we will walk you through the transition.
