Al MadinaShipping Group
What we do

Ten services.
One coordinator per shipment.

You don't want to call a forwarder, then a broker, then a warehouse, then a trucker. You want one number, one portal, one invoice. That's the entire pitch.

Ocean freight

FCL · LCL · RoRo · Break-bulk

Booked on every major carrier — Maersk, MSC, Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM, Evergreen, OOCL. We don't pretend one carrier covers every lane; we book the right vessel for the cargo and the schedule.

  • Full-container loads (20', 40', 40'HC, 45') — door-to-door or port-to-port
  • Less-than-container loads consolidated weekly out of Houston
  • Roll-on / roll-off for vehicles, heavy equipment, and self-driven cargo
  • Break-bulk for over-dimension and project freight
Vehicle transport

Single units to dealer fleets

VIN-verified at intake. Photographed at every face — front, back, both sides, dash mileage, engine bay. Pre-cleared with CBP. The same package every time, so your buyer never has a question you can't answer.

  • Cars, SUVs, pickups, motorcycles, ATVs
  • Heavy trucks, tractors, construction equipment
  • EPA / DOT export documentation included
  • Title verification + lien-clearance check before booking
Customs brokerage

Licensed, in-house, accountable

We don't outsource the part that matters. Our licensed customs brokers file every entry on a system you can audit. ISF in 24 hours, AES on time, 7501 + 3461 done correctly the first time — or we eat the demurrage.

  • Importer Security Filing (ISF) within 24 hours
  • CBP entry filing (3461) and entry summary (7501)
  • Automated Export System (AES) declarations
  • HTS classification + duty-rate analysis
  • Bond posting (single-entry or continuous)
Warehousing & yards

Bonded storage built for export

On-port and near-port facilities for staging, palletizing, and load consolidation. Continuous CCTV. Chain-of-custody log accessible to you in real time. We treat your cargo the way an underwriter would.

  • CFS bonded warehouse with FDA / USDA holding
  • Outdoor secured yard for vehicles + equipment
  • Container loading (CY / CFS) + photo documentation
  • Cross-docking and palletizing on demand
Visibility platform

A portal that shows you the truth

Your customer dashboard surfaces every stage: pickup, intake, photos, BOL, ISF status, container number, seal number, vessel ETA, arrival, delivery. No 'we'll get back to you.' Just timestamps and PDFs.

  • Real-time status across every shipment
  • Auto-emailed status changes (or webhooks if you prefer)
  • BOL, dock receipt, and customs paperwork as PDFs
  • BIC BoxTech container tracking integration (rolling out)
US auto auctions

Auction-to-port, handled end-to-end

We hold dealer access at the four major US auto auctions so our clients can source, win, and ship a vehicle without leaving our coordination. Once you secure the unit, we take it from there — auction yard to vessel.

  • Direct access to Copart, IAAI, Manheim, and Adesa
  • Towing from the auction yard to our consolidation point at minimum cost
  • Title pickup + verification, lien-letter assistance where required
  • RoRo or container booking based on destination and cargo value
Inland transport

Towing across all 50 states

For shipments that start away from the port — auctions, dealerships, private sellers — we handle the inland leg with affordable, insured towing from anywhere in the continental US to our Houston consolidation point or directly to the loading port.

  • Open and enclosed carriers (you choose the protection level)
  • Auction-yard pickup with pre-authorized release paperwork
  • Photos at pickup, mid-route check-ins, photos at delivery
  • 48-state coverage with priority on Texas / Gulf-state routes
Military relocation

PCS-friendly auto + HHG transport

US military personnel get a separate handling track and a discounted rate. We move POVs and household goods to and from any US military base or port worldwide, with the documentation and timing flexibility a PCS move actually requires.

  • POV (privately-owned vehicle) shipping to any port worldwide
  • Household goods consolidation and ocean transport
  • Pickup from on-base or off-base addresses
  • Reduced rate for active duty and dependents
International moving

Household goods, end to end

Full-service household relocation, not just freight. We pack, palletize, load into ocean containers, clear customs at destination, and deliver to the door. Built for diaspora moves where the chain has to actually hold together across two jurisdictions.

  • Professional packing crews at origin
  • FCL or LCL based on volume and destination
  • Customs clearance handled at both ends (US export + foreign import)
  • Final-mile delivery and unpacking on request
Boat shipment

Boats and yachts overseas

We size your boat to the right container (or arrange flat-rack / break-bulk when it won't fit), source the lifting service at origin, pack it for sea, and document every step with photos on receipt. Tracked on the vessel until destination port.

  • Measurement-to-container matching, including custom cradles
  • Lifting service procurement at origin
  • Photo documentation at every stage
  • Insurance and customs paperwork handled in-house
Inside the operation

The work happens on the dock — not in a deck slide.

Bonded yard intake, photo bay, lashing crews, customs brokers down the hall. We don't outsource the parts that determine whether your shipment misses a vessel.

Standard with every shipment

What you get — without asking, without upsell.

These aren't add-ons. Every container, every vehicle, every invoice flows through the same playbook.

A named coordinator

You get one human point of contact for the entire shipment. Their phone is in your portal.

Quote in 4 minutes

For standard lanes. Same business day for cross-carrier sourcing. Itemized rate, no surprise lines.

Photo documentation

Every face of every vehicle, every seal of every container, timestamped to your portal.

Real-time status

Pickup, intake, BOL, ISF, container number, vessel ETA, arrival — visible in the dashboard the moment it happens.

Webhook & email

Subscribe to status changes via webhook into your CRM/ERP, or email digest if you prefer.

Audit-grade paperwork

BOL, dock receipt, customs entry, signed POD — every PDF retrievable, every change timestamped.

One service or all five?
Either way, we start with a call.
