Maritime Bulk Logistics
Point-to-point marine bulk transportation and port handling for commercial cargo.
End-to-End Maritime Charter & Cargo Ownership
Unlike freight forwarders who re-sell cargo space, Cedrus charters entire vessel holds under direct charterparty agreements. We supervise loading at Djibouti and Red Sea terminals, oversee origin quality assays with independent surveyors (SGS / Intertek), monitor satellite AIS telemetry in real-time, and execute complete customs clearance at the Port of Montréal.
All bulk shipments managed by Cedrus carry origin-stamped SGS/Intertek certificates of quality and quantity, filed directly with CBSA before vessel arrival to guarantee immediate discharge upon berth.
