Marine transport and logistics specialist Peters & May has announced the integration of its dedicated Netherlands office, Transport Partners BV, into its global group to facilitate growth plans across Europe.

As Peters & May’s forwarding capabilities expand within the region, the launch of Peters & May Netherlands (Nederland) unifies the company’s brand to consolidate its in-house service offering and strengthen its capabilities as a one-stop European marine logistics partner.

Clients will benefit from easier, more streamlined communication and access to a broader global network, with all services under one trusted brand across Peters & May’s specialist areas of yacht, superyacht and racing yacht transport and logistics, commercial marine and project cargo transport, and freight forwarding and courier.

Peters & May acquired Transport Partners in 2017 to further expand its global reach with a trusted entity in the Netherlands to augment an established network of offices in the United Kingdom, China, Hong Kong, Dubai, France, Germany, Italy, Singapore, Spain, the USA and Turkey.

By now bringing the Netherlands office within the globally recognised brand, Peters & May is better positioned to deliver a cohesive, joined-up approach which ensures essential advantages for customers who are navigating a more fragmented and complex environment for vessel and asset transportation globally.

Strategically positioned as a gateway for Northern European and inland EU connections, Peters & May Netherlands will further leverage the group’s strengths for Europe, enhancing its multilingual teamwork and in-house customs/VAT expertise, with seamless operation across European customs, particularly when dealing with UK to European Union, or EU to UK, transactions with the added intricacies since Brexit, offering a single point of contact from quotation to final delivery.

Simon Judson, CEO at Peters & May, said: “At Peters & May, we recognise the need for a consultative, not commoditised, partner, with a global structure and reach created to overcome the complexities and challenges of marine transportation and logistics. With this in mind, the consolidation of adding Peters & May Netherlands to our dedicated network in Europe as a fully-integrated part of our global group makes perfect sense, reflecting our commitment to meet the demands of customers with unparalleled knowledge and expertise worldwide.

“Transport Partners BV has operated as our Netherlands office for several years, with an earned reputation as experienced and expert specialists in marine transportation over decades. With this new Peters & May brand visibility and the association with our proven 50-plus year track record, we are confident clients will benefit from the strengthened presence in the Netherlands and the streamlined offering across Europe. We look forward to further enhancing our exceptional service for complex logistics as our forwarding capabilities expand and we continue to build in the marine sector.”

With over 50 years of experience, Peters & May provides trusted expert solutions worldwide under the long-term ownership of Constantine Group. It has built a reputation for providing tailored logistics solutions across air, land, and sea, to the world’s leading boat manufacturers and marine suppliers, with a deep understanding of the marine supply chain and dedication to ensuring cargo arrives on time.
