American Patriot Lines is a licensed Ocean Transportation Intermediary (OTI) and NVOCC. Our ocean services include the following:

• Full Container Load (FCL)
• Less Than Container Load (LCL)
• Origin Consolidation
• Purchase Order Management and Tracking
• Marine Cargo Insurance

The features and benefits of our ocean services are:

Competitive Pricing
We move thousands of containers each year which gives us the leverage we need with the ocean carriers to provide you with the best value available. We have years of experience purchasing ocean freight services which gives us insight into seasonal and regional discounting. These years of experience also gives us a better understanding of market trends.

Fast Transit Times
We use a combination of global and niche carriers that enable us to find the quickest transit-time to your destination. The quickest service might not be the logical routing due to congestion or space limitations and may require an alternative solution.

Flexible Schedules
Because we contract with over 25 carriers we can offer our customers multiple cut-offs and departures each week. This flexibility is difficult to obtain and manage if you are directly contracting with the carriers. We also have the flexibility of utilizing multiple U.S. gateways to enable our customers to avoid regional congestion or other supply-chain bottlenecks.

Space Management
During the always difficult "peak season" space is hard to obtain and protect. The breadth of our carrier relationships gives us the advantage of spreading our space requirements over 25 carriers. During this period we always encourage our customers to book a minimum of two weeks in advance.

Limited Contracting Liability
By using American Patriot Lines you can take advantage of contracted rates without signing a contract. This means you don't have to put your company at risk of $500/TEU for not meeting the minimum volume commitments because of changing markets.

American Patriot Lines offers air consolidation and forwarding services. We understand that air freight is the last option because of the excessive cost so we work hard to find the best combination of value and service. Our air services include:

• Airport-to-Airport Services
• Door-to-Door Services
• Express and Deferred Services
• Multiple Carrier Choices
• Cargo Insurance

The features and benefits of our air freight services are:

Multiple Carrier Relationships
Our Company has relationships with many of the major airlines throughout the world. This gives us direct service options as well as deferred options from many of the key manufacturing locations.

Airport to Door Services
We contract with a network of expedited trucking companies which allows us to provide expedited door service from all the major international airports throughout the United States.

Airport Office Locations
Our offices are located near the major airports in the United States; this allows for quick document retrieval and hands-on coordination of cargo breakdown and forwarding to the final delivery location.

Sea/Air Services
Another option available is the sea to air freight service. This service offers a transit-time superior to ocean transit at a better value than the direct air service. Please contact your American Patriot Lines representative to discuss the particulars of this option.
