Celebrating 25 Years on the Gulf Coast
Across continents, industries and opportunities, Intermarine LLC is a leader of worldwide ocean transport that responds to the demands of a world on the move by focusing on its customers and their cargo. As a forward-thinking marine logistics and ocean transport provider, Intermarine combines its vast global infrastructure and industry expertise to address the comprehensive needs of breakbulk, heavylift, dry bulk and project cargo customers.
Whatever the challenge, Intermarine’s network of professionals is focused on increasing efficiency and offering unmatched flexibility to ensure that clients benefit from customized solutions that meet their specific requirements. Intermarine leverages the collective knowledge and performance of each and every employee whose dedicated efforts result in total customer satisfaction.
Whatever you need to send, wherever you need to send it, Intermarine has the routes and schedules to meet your needs. Founded in 1990, Intermarine controls an international fleet of more than 50 vessels with lifting capacity up to 800 metric tons. Through its subsidiaries and worldwide network of 21 offices, Intermarine provides safe and highly reliable ocean liner transportation, chartering and marine logistics services with regular sailings in the Americas, West Africa, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, plus inducement voyages to Australia and other international ports.
In addition to operating the largest U.S. flag heavylift fleet, Intermarine controls Industrial Terminals, the largest U.S. project cargo and leading regional breakbulk terminal, strategically located on 95 acres adjacent to the Houston Ship Channel. Industrial Terminals provides maximum flexibility for handling project and breakbulk cargo to multiple trade lanes with its three deep-water berths, a 457-meter barge terminal with rail support, cargo marshaling capacity with covered warehousing, ITEX delivery service, IPACK export packing services, direct ship-to-rail access and Saturday receiving.
Intermarine also offers four core business units—Americas Services, Africa Service, Worldwide Chartering and U.S. Flag Services. Intermarine’s Worldwide Chartering Services deliver premier solutions in specialized worldwide project and heavylift cargo transportation outside the main liner service routes for global reach with a local focus. As a result of customer demand, in 2012 Intermarine initiated service to Africa, which is growing steadily as need increases.
The Worldwide Wind Division also addresses unique transportation challenges facing the wind energy industry, which creates many components with extreme sizes and diverse weights. Intermarine’s Venezuelan regional offices have added full logistics support for barge services with Linea Naviera Paramaconi S.A., which enables water, heavy-haul inland transport and shallow draft transport. Plus, Intermarine offers the fastest and most direct container service to ports in South America, arranging container stuffing as well as trucking to and from the terminal on a weekly or per-project basis.
In March 2014, Intermarine held the Grand Opening of its state-of-the-art Operations Center at Industrial Terminals. Unique to the region, this landmark building unites Intermarine’s technical, operations, traffic and terminal teams in one location, enhancing efficiency and helping the company grow. The five-story, 13,311-square-foot structure just 200 feet from the Houston Ship Channel houses a fourth-floor customer center with floor-to-ceiling windows and audiovisual equipment that provides sight lines to all the main docks so customers can monitor their cargo’s movement in comfort. In favorable weather, people can visit the fifth-floor observation deck, which has unobstructed, 360-degree views from the Beltway to Downtown Houston. Not only functional, the Operations Center also is open to Houston business and industry groups for special events.
