Swiss precision for containers and break bulk cargo worldwide

As a Swiss company, we’re distinguished for our reliable and thorough approach. But there are also many other reasons why our freight solutions are so successful – challenge us!

The Swiss factor

We are young and independent. Instead of being part of a corporation, we are a neutral Swiss transport service provider that is 100% owner-operated. We don’t outsource our tasks to external service centres, we believe it’s essential to have direct, personal contact with our business partners. And with our customers – honesty means a lot at STS. Find out more about the people you’ll be working with at STS.

Containers: transport units suitable for most commodities

From Peru to Asia, Asia to Europe, or Africa to North America – with STS, you’ll always be right on track.

Depending on your requirements, we’ll arrange a full container load (FCL) or less than container load (LCL) for you.

Most of the products we ship travel in an FCL. However, LCL is more suitable if your goods won’t fill an entire container. In such cases, the container is filled with various different loads and you can benefit from particularly attractive shipping conditions.

No matter whether you’re interested in traditional trade routes or niche solutions: we’ll find the best way to deliver your goods in a safe, reliable and economically efficient way.
