Freight Forwarding
Sea, air and land freight moving through 45+ ports across four continents — arranged, documented and tracked by one team in Dubai.
As a freight forwarding company in Dubai, Vortex Shipping LLC arranges the movement of commercial cargo from collection through to final delivery. That means selecting the route and carrier, booking the space, preparing every document, coordinating customs and staying accountable until the cargo arrives.
What separates us from most forwarders is that we do not only arrange freight. We operate our own container vessels and, through our sister company Khan Baba Cargo Transport, run a fleet of 60 owned trucks. That gives us space and schedule control that brokers cannot offer.
Our clients are traders, wholesalers, manufacturers and project contractors moving regular commercial volumes — not one-off consignments.
We compare sailing schedules, transit times and all-in cost across our nine carrier partners before recommending an option.
Bills of lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and any product-specific certificates.
Declarations, HS classification and duty guidance for both export and import, mainland and free zone.
Multi-supplier cargo brought together into one container at our Dubai warehouse before sailing.
Arranged on declared value, with the correct cover for the cargo type and route risk.
One point of contact who knows your shipment, not a ticket queue.
Origin, destination, cargo type, weight, volume and required arrival date.
An all-in figure with the mode and routing we recommend, and why.
Space confirmed, collection arranged, declarations prepared before cargo moves.
Tracked through the voyage, cleared at destination, delivered to the final address.
It takes responsibility for moving your cargo from origin to destination — selecting the carrier and route, booking space, preparing documentation, coordinating customs and handling problems in transit. You deal with one company instead of a carrier, a broker, a trucker and a warehouse separately.
We operate our own container vessels and our sister company runs 60 owned trucks. Most forwarders broker every leg. Owning capacity means we can hold space and control schedules when the market tightens.
Yes. The majority of our volume moves outbound from the UAE, but we also handle inbound cargo from China, India, Europe and the Americas including supplier collection and clearance at Jebel Ali.
Origin and destination, commodity, gross weight, volume or dimensions, and the date cargo is ready. For air freight, exact carton dimensions matter because billing is on chargeable weight.
Yes. DG cargo is a core capability, with Class 2 and Class 5 as our main competence, handled under full IMDG compliance.
Send us the route and the cargo. You will get a straight answer on cost, timing and the mode that actually suits the shipment.
