HOW IT WORKS
Blue Water Transportation
Hudson is a leading carrier and distributor of various commodities worldwide with a fleet of over 50 dry bulk vessels backed by over 50 years of knowledge and expertise. Utilizing the GOLD© Standard and COST© Comprehensive, On-Time, Specialized Transportation COST© techniques to meet customer needs with innovative logistics solutions. Hudson’s worth goes beyond ships and experience. Hudson also calls on a diverse network of global relationships to ensure the efficient and reliable transportation of customer goods.
Road Transportation
The freight portion of a supply chain many times begins and ends with road transportation. Responsive and adaptable, trucks move over 70% of the world’s freight. As part of Hudson’s PEARL© Proactive Efficient Adaptive Reliable Logisticsmanagement system, Hudson employs trucking carriers across the globe to ensure our customers’ goods are moved quickly and efficiently. This is especially valuable when moving oversize or delicate cargoes.

Rail Transportation
Rail networks offer an efficient and economical way to move large amounts of commodities overland. One freight train can carry over 200 cars, which allows the rapid and affordable transportation of goods across continents. Connecting your existing supply chain to rail transportation can dramatically reduce costs and increase flexibility. Hudson recently demonstrated an innovative use of rail transportation when it employed rail cars to circumvent the “Polar Vortex” that gripped the Midwestern United States and froze the Mississippi River, making barge transport impossible.

Narrow Waterway Barging
Barging along narrow waterways is the most efficient and environmentally friendly method of transporting goods inland. A single barge has an equivalent capacity to 15 rail cars or 60 truck trailers. A single tugboat can handle multiple barges, providing excellent opportunities to take advantage of economies of scale. While obvious geographical limitations apply, Hudson works with clients to determine if lightering into barges can be a cost effective method of transporting their goods inland. Hudson's expertise in barge transportation also extends to the sourcing of custom barges where required to suit a customer's specific needs.
Stevedoring, Storage, and Terminal Operation
Hudson operates a system of terminals, warehouses, agencies, and stevedoring companies to meet our customers’ need for responsive, dependable, port services. These stevedores and agents are inventive and knowledgeable, with decades of experience employing Hudson’s proprietary methods to solve logistics challenges. The advantages of this approach are exemplified by Hudson’s GOLD© Standard techniques, which maximize operational load distribution through the employment of separations. Through the use of these separations, stevedores can load different types of cargo in the same hold which allows Hudson to better serve its customers through flexible shipping schedules and increased vessel utilization.
Small Parcel Services
Hudson's focus is not only limited to large dry bulk commodities. Hudson also assists clients with the transport of smaller parcels and cargoes. By utilizing its GOLD© Standard techniques, Hudson ensures these smaller parcels are transported precisely and effectively.
