CLIENTS
PARTNERS & MEMBERSHIPS
World Cargo Alliance was formed in 1998 to provide top independent international freight forwarders with effective means of communicating with each other to establish and maintain business partnerships that would benefit shippers and buyers worldwide. Choice was an important innovation then, with members able to select the most suitable partner in any one port to handle a client’s shipment, instead of – like other networks – having only a single partner in a market who may not be a specialist in your business.
World Cargo Alliance is a founding group of the WCA Family of Logistic Networks. WCA Family’s unique, innovative approach provides shippers and buyers with a forwarding network of professional companies that know their business and yours. World Cargo Alliance members have the expertise to treat you as a valued client and handle your shipments with care and skill.
