WHO WE ARE

MBLX Inc. of New Orleans has developed a growing business by consolidating such heavy items and shipping them on inland waterways in a less-than-bargeload operation, as well as full barges. The less than barge load service allows three or four shippers to move smaller loads without paying for an entire barge or waiting until the barge operator’s has enough cargo to fill it. Whether you’re a shipper or a receiver, your transportation needs are rarely met with one mode, one call, one solution. Putting all the pieces together can be difficult, time-consuming and costly. Since 1996 MBLX has excelled at putting all the pieces together for you, connecting the array of services required to get your cargo from origin to destination for the greatest value. We have the unique ability to identify and recommend alternatives without bias toward a specific mode of transportation or geographic territory. Our strategic alliances and extensive experience with a wide range of vendors give us insight into how our customers can save significantly by utilizing alternate modes, services, or ports of entry and optimizing capacity. We identify options that meet your specific needs, offer flexibility, and produce significant savings. The full range of services that we connect and coordinate for you include: Barging Trucking Rail Vessel Chartering Ocean, Breakbulk and Container Services Stevedoring Freight Forwarding and Custom Brokerage Transloading Warehousing Marine Insurance We also coordinate transitions between services, which can be intricate and costly, especially when importing or exporting.
