Who We Are

Counting 6 offices, 14 friendly faces, and now 10 years in business, TSL is a well-established, fully insured broker and consultancy house, specialized within the field of breakbulk & project cargo transportation.

TSL has a proven track and safety record with experience and connections throughout the globe.
Although we see ourselves as a young and agile team, we count more than 200 years of combined experience between us, predominantly in the field of Shipping and Chartering.

TSL – Build by connections for connections, hence our word is truly our bond.

We are not your regular broker shop, connecting, copy-pasting, and mass circulating.
TSL is continuously providing consultancy service and brokering services for our connections on both sides of the negotiations.

Our philosophy is simply put: a shipbroker and advisor are only as successful as their clients.

Our focus and passion are very much in the field of Project and Breakbulk ocean transportation and niche areas for fuel replenishment, however, we have assisted our connections in matters of freight consolidation, vessel purchases, towage, marketing, and much more.

Trust does not come easy in this day and age, however, once parties trust each other, the opportunities are plentiful in other and unexpected ways.

From our offices in Houston and Dubai, we have good communication with several shippers and carriers in the region, for both import and export. Although Americas and Middle East is our strong point, we have several clients in both Asia as well as in Europe.

Acting as exclusive agents in the Americas for a fleet of more than 50 vessels, we see cargoes, positions, and action in many regions. It would be our pleasure to assist you in your upcoming shipping needs.

Utilizing our extensive network all over the world, we can ensure supply of bunker fuels within more than 200 ports. Should you have any bunker inquiry either by truck delivery or by barge, we are able to supply all grades of fuel including the lubricants in drums directly to the vessel.
