SEABOW NV
SEABOW nv is an international, independent commercial shipping agency based in Antwerp, Belgium, established in 2000. The company specializes in a niche of breakbulk and RoRo agencies, with a liner container booking function added over time. SEABOW emphasizes a customer-centric approach, delivering tailored solutions and a personal touch to its business partners. The management team, led by Guy Impens since August 2015, brings extensive experience in commercial liner shipping across multiple trading areas, supporting a steady growth trajectory in the shipping business.
The organization offers comprehensive forwarding and chartering services, handling export and import cargoes across various modes, including containerized cargo, breakbulk, and other breakbulk-equivalent shipments. SEABOW provides support across the cargo cycle—from bookings and chartering to part cargoes and full loads—whether on an export or import basis. A dedicated focus on FOB deliveries is highlighted, leveraging Antwerp’s status as a key Western European port for conventional cargo.
In addition to its standard forwarding and chartering operations, SEABOW nv maintains a specialized chartering division under SEABOW CHARTERING, offering competitive rates for parcel, breakbulk, steel, pipes, and project cargo. The company operates globally through a network of vessel owners, handling materials ranging from steel to windmill components and other heavy lift shipments. Weekly and monthly schedules are published for services such as the Baltic Express Line, connecting Rotterdam and Antwerp with St. Petersburg, and other routes to India, the Black Sea, and the NW Continent.
SEABOW nv articulates a clear value proposition: reliable sea transport of project cargo, breakbulk, steel, and heavy lift shipments between the Benelux region and key international ports. The firm emphasizes efficient loading, secure stowage, timely delivery, and end-to-end transportation solutions, including potential rail or truck on-carriage options from port to final destination. The company maintains a customer-focused philosophy, combining market intelligence, negotiation strategies, and post-fixation documentation support to deliver economical and dependable transport solutions.
Headquartered in Antwerp, SEABOW nv provides services tailored to the needs of its clients in both import and export activities, with dedicated capabilities for schedule-based operations and project-related cargoes. The team continues to expand its capabilities in liner services and project cargo, reinforcing its position as a reliable logistics partner in Europe and beyond.
