About Kuehne + Nagel (KN)
Kuehne + Nagel is not a vessel operator but a freight forwarder, and it is the biggest one in ocean shipping. The company books space on other carriers' ships and consolidates cargo for its customers, handling roughly 4.31 million TEU of sea freight in 2024. That volume keeps it ranked number one worldwide in ocean forwarding, ahead of DHL, DSV, and Sinotrans.
The firm traces back to 1890, when August Kuehne and Friedrich Nagel opened a commission and forwarding business in Bremen, Germany. Today the group is headquartered in Schindellegi, near Zurich, Switzerland, and runs close to 1,300 offices across more than 100 countries with a workforce of around 79,000. Ocean freight sits inside a wider business that also spans air logistics, road, and contract logistics (warehousing and distribution).
Under the SCAC code KHNN, Kuehne + Nagel acts as a non-vessel operating common carrier, issuing its own bills of lading through entities such as Blue Anchor America Line in the United States. Its sea logistics work covers full container load, less than container load consolidation, reefer and pharma cargo, and project and out-of-gauge shipments across the main east-west and north-south trades. Because it charters space rather than sailing vessels, the company does not belong to any of the vessel-sharing alliances.
