Hudson is a leading global carrier and distributor of commodities. Despite having more than 50 dry bulk vessels in our fleet and 50+ years of expertise, our worth extends far beyond our ships and experience. It is our use of the best market techniques, unparalleled logistics solutions, and our diverse network of global relationships that makes us the best in the business.

BARGING

Barging along narrow waterways is the most efficient method of transport. A single barge has a capacity equivalent to 15 rail cars or 60 truck trailers. A single tugboat can handle multiple barges, providing opportunities for efficiency and optimization of economies of scale. While there are occasional geographical limitations, we work with our clients to determine if lightering into barges is a cost effective solution for them.

INTERMODAL

In recent years, intermodal shipping has become a budget-friendly alternative to truckload shipping. While this mode of transportation has existed for centuries, technological advancements in the modern world of intermodal logistics have made it nearly as fast as truckload shipping. Hudson is able to offer worldwide intermodal solutions as part of our logistics services.

TRUCKLOAD

In a supply chain system, it is common that carriage begins and ends with road transportation. Responsive and adaptable, trucks move over 60% of the world’s freight. Hudson engages with trucking carriers across the globe to ensure our customers' goods are transported quickly and efficiently.
