What we move, and how we move it.
Five disciplines under one roof, run by the same team since 1996. Whether it's a container of textiles or a yacht on a flat rack, the standard is identical: planned in detail, secured by the book, delivered on the date we gave you.
Discipline 01 / 05
Ocean Freight
The backbone of global trade, handled by people who've worked it for thirty years.
Most freight crosses the world by sea, and most of what can go wrong happens before the ship leaves. We handle every container type — LCL when you don't need the whole box, FCL when you do, reefers for cargo that must hold its temperature, flat racks and open tops for the loads that won't fit anywhere else. Long-standing carrier contracts mean we can find space and hold rates when the market gets tight.
- LCL — pay for the space you use; we consolidate the rest.
- FCL — your container, your cargo, sealed door to door.
- Reefers — temperature-controlled from loading dock to destination.
- Flat racks & open top — for cargo that defies the box.
Discipline 02 / 05
Air Freight
When the deadline is non-negotiable, the routing has to be perfect.
Air freight buys you time, but only if every connection holds. We build routings with the airlines that actually fly your lane — and we build them to survive the real world: missed connections, weather, capacity crunches — staffed by dispatchers who pick up the phone. Customs compliance is built into the plan, not bolted on at the airport.
- Express service for the shipments that can't wait
- Routing engineered around your deadline, not the airline's convenience
- Live human support from booking to delivery
- Customs documentation prepared in advance
Discipline 03 / 05 · Flagship
Project Cargo
Aircraft. Yachts. The machines that max out the crane. This is the work we're known for.
Some cargo can't be booked; it has to be engineered. A disassembled aircraft with components that can never be stacked. A yacht whose hull must be cradled to the millimeter. An earthmover at the crane's limit, or a factory line that must arrive in installation order. For thirty years, this has been UAL's specialty: we survey the cargo, plan the route, calculate the lift and the lashing, and stay with the shipment until it's standing where it belongs.
- Aircraft & yachts — high-value, high-precision marine and aviation moves
- Heavy machinery — earthmovers, plant equipment, buses, oversized loads
- Delicate equipment — factory lines and instruments that travel like glass
- Route & lift planning — surveyed, calculated, and rehearsed before the move
Discipline 04 / 05
Warehousing & Consolidation
The quiet middle of the supply chain, where good forwarders earn their keep.
Cargo rarely travels in a straight line. It waits, combines, splits, and changes vehicles — and every handoff is a chance for something to go missing. Our warehousing operation closes those gaps: consolidation that fills containers efficiently, trans-loading that keeps freight moving, pick-and-pack and labeling that send your goods out retail-ready, and tracking so you always know what's on which shelf.
- Consolidation & trans-loading
- Storage & distribution
- Pick and pack
- Labeling & inventory tracking
Discipline 05 / 05
Customs Brokerage
The border is where amateur paperwork gets expensive.
A shipment that sails perfectly can still die in clearance. As a CTPAT-certified member, UAL operates inside U.S. Customs and Border Protection's trusted-partner program: our security practices are vetted, our documentation is prepared before the cargo arrives, and our shipments face fewer examinations. You get compliance handled by the same people who booked the freight, so nothing falls between two vendors.
- CTPAT-certified security practices
- Entry documentation prepared in advance
- Tariff classification & duty guidance
- One accountable team for freight and clearance
