The RTM Difference: You were notified a multi-million-dollar piece of over-sized equipment needs to be shipped across oceans and time zones, from its current location, halfway around the world. And of course, it needs to be there yesterday. Due to its size and complexity, your shipment will need special handling.
And because of the nearly impossible deadline for delivery, your shipment will also require some innovative and unconventional routing. Who should you trust? You could go with one of the big alliances, but you're afraid of literally becoming a small fish in a big ocean. What you really want is big carrier expertise with in-house responsiveness.

Services
Established in New York City in 1980, RTM Lines was founded on the belief that the ocean cargo industry required an expert firm that maintains vast knowledge, professional expertise, established long-term relationships with carriers across the world, and a responsive and personalized way of doing business.
RTM is well trained in shipping cargo to and from virtually every cargo port in the world. We provide regular sailings to, from, and between all major ports including North American, Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa, South America, the Middle and Far East, as well as Australia and New Zealand. Our shipping services include the exportation and importation of goods from around the world including foreign to foreign shipments.
Breakbulk cargo are goods that need to be loaded individually versus containerized cargo or in-bulk products like oil or grain. Generally, breakbulk cargo is shipped loose, crated, boxed, skidded or palletized. RTM is an expert in breakbulk shipping and logistics. We provide innovative solutions for complicated cargo.
RTM has extensive experience in the handling and ocean shipping of truck-size intermodal containers. Container vessels are fully equipped with a wide variety of chassis and other equipment including state-of-the-art tri-axle and super-slider chassis that easily accommodates cargo and ensures that cargo meets US FHSW guidelines.
High and heavy cargo, as the name implies, is a term defining cargo types that have unusual height and weight requirements. At RTM we classify ocean cargo as high and heavy if its length exceeds 18m, its height exceeds 4.5m, its width exceeds 4.5m, and its weight exceeds 80mt. This highly specialized class of ocean cargo requires special attention along every point from port to port.

We recently had an opportunity to work with this company on a large shipment of mining equipment to Africa. Weather delays caused road delays, which resulted in our cargo missing vessel cutoff. RTM suggested trucking to another port and was able to obtain space on an alternate vessel. Their quick thinking and knowledge concerning alternate ports of departure and discharge meant our cargo arrived on time and avoided penalty charges which saved us time and money. In addition they assisted our documentation team with navigating local regulations & charges for a smooth delivery.

My experience with this company was terrible but it may not have been indicative of their normal way of doing business. I was delivering a boat to a shipping port when the costs seemed to skyrocket and Richard, one if the managers became impossible to deal with. I had to Block his number and that of his A hole lawyer David Singer who tried to include me in a contract dispute. Very unprofessional. I almost had to site them under Admiralty Law for interfering with the safety of the Captain and crew calling at 2:45 in the morning!
I was just the delivery captain. This firm endangered me and my crew

I had the opportunity to speak with this company in length regarding the shipment of oil and gas equipment, and the logistics of over-sized transportation. I was incredibly impressed with their knowledge and unwavering commitment to safety. As a safety professional in oil and gas, we are always up against deadlines, needing everything done yesterday, and the coordination of each effort. RTM has proven that their long running successful (and safe) shipment history is not by chance. If you have it, they can ship it. Thanks you!
