Seaboard Marine is an ocean transportation company that provides direct,
regular service between the United States and the Caribbean Basin, Central and South
America.
Established in 1983, Seaboard Marine is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seaboard Corporation. We have identified

steadily to the company's growth, Seaboard Marine is a trade leader in
the Western Hemisphere.

Our success in the region for nearly 25 years has enabled us to expand into new
markets. We now serve nearly forty ports in over
twenty countries. Seaboard Marine’s facilities include a private terminal
of nearly 70 acres at the Port
of Miami. We carry more cargo to and from the Port
of Miami than any other carrier. Although this facility complies with and exceeds
all governmental security mandates, it operates seven days a week, 365 days a year--
a unique convenience for our customers. We have deployed a system that integrates
the use of over fifty cameras into an on-site command center monitored 24-hours.
Although we continue to have more than seventy monthly sailings from Miami, during
the past few years, Seaboard Marine has successfully initiated services
from other U.S. ports. We now offer weekly service to Chile, Peru, Venezuela, Trinidad,
Colombia and all of Central America from Houston. We also operate our own 62-acre
terminal in Houston called Jacintoport. We also serve Central America twice per
week from New Orleans and will open our own dedicated terminal there in 2008. Since
2002, have offered a reliable weekly service to Haiti, Jamaica, and the Dominican
Republic from Philadelphia. We also provide weekly service to Colombia, Venezuela,
Jamaica, Haiti and the Dominican Republic from Fernandina Beach, Florida.
Seaboard’s fleet consists of dozens of vessels, thousands of dry, reefer and specialized
containers and related equipment with direct service between the U.S. and major
ports of call throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Our fixed-day schedules
make it convenient for customers to coordinate manufacturing schedules and maintain
inventories at cost-efficient levels.
Convenient schedules, and an expanding fleet of ships both commanded and managed
by a company of dedicated professionals, to and from these markets, has become the
trademark of Seaboard Marine.

Our approach is to work in partnership with our customers, and provide the most
effective level of service throughout the United States to/from Latin America. This
high service level has been recognized by the Florida Customs Brokers and Forwarders
Association as they honored Seaboard with their "1999 Firm of the Year Award” and
repeated the honor again in 2000 and 2001. For a quarter of a century, Seaboard
Marine has been a leader in the ocean transportation industry. We’ve created
our own advantage by incorporating state-of-the-art technology and engineering into
all of our operations such as advanced security features, and gate log systems at
our terminal facilities, as well as real-time satellite communications between our
vessels, our Miami headquarters and overseas offices.
