Marine Transport Logistics (MTL) stands as a premier Transport Logistics Company, adept at navigating the complexities of global and domestic shipping. Founded in 1993 as a family-operated business in New York, MTL has evolved from a modest startup into a comprehensive logistics provider.

This vast network underscores MTL’s capacity to handle diverse logistical challenges on a global scale.
Understanding Risk and Liability in Vehicle Transport
When entrusting your vehicles to a transport logistics company, understanding risk and liability is crucial. At Marine Transport Logistics, customers assume full responsibility for vehicles stored at our facilities, covering risks associated with loss or damage. MTL is not liable for damages or losses resulting from standard operational procedures at our American Voyager NJ facility, theft, vandalism, or natural events. Customers have the option to maintain their own insurance coverage during storage.
MTL’s liability is limited to $500.00 per vehicle and applies only to damages or losses directly caused by the company’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Similarly, for goods shipped via water or air, customers are encouraged to secure cargo marine insurance. MTL’s liability for containerized vehicle damage or loss is also capped at $500.00 per vehicle, under the same conditions of direct willful misconduct or gross negligence. This clear policy ensures transparency and allows customers to make informed decisions about insurance coverage when using a transport logistics company.
Storage Solutions and Customs Compliance
Marine Transport Logistics offers competitive storage terms as part of its comprehensive transport logistics services. We provide 30 days of free storage. Beyond this period, a daily storage fee of $10.00 per unit applies. An IN and OUT fee of $100.00 per unit is charged, starting from the first day of storage. It is important to note that oversized or overweight equipment may be rejected unless pre-approved, and unloading charges may be applicable.
Navigating customs regulations is a critical aspect of international transport logistics. Shipments to and from the USA are subject to inspection by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Inspections can range from X-rays at the port terminal to complete container devanning at bonded warehouses. All charges incurred due to U.S. Customs inspections are the shipper’s responsibility. Failure to settle these charges may lead to additional storage fees, penalties, or even cargo seizure. As a transport logistics company acting on behalf of the shipper, MTL is not responsible for customs-related charges, as we do not hold ownership of the shipped goods.
