Shipco Transport
SCAC: SHPT
Neutral NVOCC and global LCL consolidator, wholesaling ocean and air freight to forwarders since 1988.
Shipco Transport is a neutral NVOCC that sells wholesale to freight forwarders rather than to shippers directly. The first office opened in New York City in September 1988, launched to handle FCL cargo out of Asia. Within a few years the business shifted its focus to LCL consolidation, which remains its core to this day. It is a subsidiary of Scan-Group A/S of Copenhagen, the family-owned Danish group founded by Arne Simonsen and now run by the second generation.

About Shipco Transport
Shipco Transport is a neutral NVOCC that sells wholesale to freight forwarders rather than to shippers directly. The first office opened in New York City in September 1988, launched to handle FCL cargo out of Asia. Within a few years the business shifted its focus to LCL consolidation, which remains its core to this day. It is a subsidiary of Scan-Group A/S of Copenhagen, the family-owned Danish group founded by Arne Simonsen and now run by the second generation.
The word 'neutral' matters in Shipco's case. Because it does not compete with its own customers for end shippers, forwarders can route LCL boxes through Shipco's consolidation network without worrying about being disintermediated. That positioning built a footprint of more than 90 offices across 30-plus countries and roughly 2,000 staff, spanning North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Alongside LCL, Shipco offers FCL and airfreight, plus customs and supply-chain services in select markets.
In 2007 Shipco became a founding member of the WorldWide Alliance, a group of leading neutral NVOCCs that pool exclusive agents to move LCL cargo globally. Operating under SCAC code SHPT, Shipco issues its own house bills of lading as the contracting carrier while booking underlying vessel space with the ocean lines that actually run the ships.

How do I track a Shipco Transport shipment?

Yes, you can track Shipco Transport shipments for free, with no login for a quick lookup. Sign in to unlock the full journey: detailed milestones, predictive ETAs, transhipment legs, and exception alerts.
Why isn't my Shipco Transport container updating?
Shipco Transport tracking reflects what the carrier and vessel feeds have reported, so there is often a lag between a real-world move and the update. Panvaya refreshes on a regular cycle; a shipment that looks stuck usually just means the next milestone (such as vessel departure or discharge) hasn't been filed yet.
How accurate is the ETA for Shipco Transport shipments?
Panvaya combines Shipco Transport's schedule with live vessel position and historical performance to predict arrival, and refines the ETA as the journey progresses and conditions change. It is a continuously updated estimate, not a guarantee.
