Holo·Cargo

Ocean & Air Carrier Network

Carrier-neutral by design

Holo Cargo is a freight forwarder, not a carrier. We don't own ships or aircraft, and we're not locked into a single line's network. That independence is the point: on every lane we book the carrier that fits your shipment — the right transit, the right equipment, the right rate — instead of defaulting to whoever we're contracted to fill.

We hold rates and space across the major ocean lines and air cargo carriers, and our operators compare them on each booking so you don't have to.

Ocean carriers and alliances

Deep-sea container capacity is concentrated in a handful of global lines that operate through three vessel-sharing alliances. Holo books across all of them, on both alliance services and independent carriers:

  • Global container lines — MSC, Maersk, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, COSCO, ONE, Evergreen, HMM, Yang Ming, ZIM and others
  • Vessel-sharing alliances — services run through the major ocean alliances, so a single lane often has several carrier options at different transit and price points
  • Regional and short-sea operators — for intra-Asia, intra-Europe, and feeder legs into the main hubs

Because alliances share vessels, the cheapest booking and the fastest booking on a lane aren't always the same carrier. Our operators surface the trade-off instead of hiding it inside an all-in rate.

Air cargo carriers

For time-critical and high-value freight, Holo books across combination carriers, dedicated freighters, and integrators:

  • Passenger-belly and freighter capacity on the major international airlines
  • Dedicated cargo carriers for outsized, heavy, or high-density loads
  • Chargeable-weight pricing — you pay on the greater of actual or volumetric weight, quoted transparently per shipment
Ocean

Ocean FCL

Full-container loads across every major line and alliance — we pick the carrier that fits your lane.

 Ocean

Ocean LCL

Consolidation on regular sailings, co-loaded across carrier services for frequency and price.

 Air

Air freight

Belly and freighter capacity on the major airlines, priced on chargeable weight.

 Rail

Rail freight

China–Europe intermodal rail operators — faster than ocean, cheaper than air on the right lane.

Why carrier choice matters

The carrier you sail with drives more than the freight rate. It sets your transit time, your transshipment risk, your equipment availability, and how exposed you are to rolled cargo in peak season. Holo's job is to weigh all of that on your behalf:

  • Best service for the lane — not the line we happen to be tied to
  • Equipment availability — reefer, OT, flat-rack, and high-cube where the lane supports it
  • Schedule reliability — we factor each carrier's on-time record, not just the headline transit
  • Rolled-cargo protection — confirmed bookings and proactive monitoring so a space squeeze doesn't blindside your shipment
