Company Profile
Damco was born from the merger of Dutch freight forwarding company Damco Sea & Air and the forwarding activities of Denmark-based DSL Star Express.
Our starting point was in 2005, when the A.P. Moller - Maersk Group acquired Damco Sea & Air in connection with the acquisition of P&O Nedlloyd. Established in 1988, Damco Sea & Air was P&O Nedlloyd’s forwarding arm.
Together with Maersk Logistics’ air freight and landside services, DSL Star Express was renamed ‘Damco’ on 1 July 2007.
Both companies have a successful track record of offering our customers ocean freight, air freight, and landside services including trucking, customs clearance, document management, and cargo insurance.
With some 3,900 colleagues spread across 110 countries world-wide, the new Damco will continue to provide freight forwarding services to our existing and new customers. Our expanded global network is based around local branch offices with local staff who are closely in touch with conditions in each of their markets.
