From A to Anywhere since 1975
Founded in Denmark in 1975, SAFE Shipping has grown into a trusted freight forwarder, liner agency and logistics partner across Europe. As part of the USS Group, our network spans 15 countries, offering reliable solutions by sea, air, and land.
Among the principals we are proud to represent are VOLANS Maritime, specializing in break bulk and project cargo services between Northern Europe and the West Coast of South America; Ellerman City Liners, a respected global shipping company with a long-standing tradition of excellence; and GS Lines, operating a dedicated fleet across Portugal, Spain, Cape Verde and Guinea-Bissau.
Over the years, we have also partnered with industry leaders like Hamburg Süd and DAL Deutsche Afrika-Linien, concluding these successful collaborations after their acquisitions by Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd.
At SAFE Shipping, trust, local know-how, and personal customer care drive everything we do. We are dedicated to building partnerships that last, measuring our success by our customers’ smiles.
