What Harbor Logistics does

Harbor Logistics is a privately held, port-centric logistics platform headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina, and operated as a portfolio company of NOVA Infrastructure, a middle-market infrastructure investment firm. The company provides an integrated suite of multimodal services including drayage (port container trucking), warehousing, transloading (rail-to-truck and container-to-bulk), contract packaging, and freight brokerage to industrial and commercial customers across the Southeast United States. Harbor is the largest drayage provider in Charleston and operates 1.6 million+ sq ft of warehouse space across five facilities, including 290,000 sq ft of food-grade storage and three rail-served sites, with additional terminals in Atlanta, Savannah, and Greer, SC.

The company's core technology stack consists of an EDI-enabled warehouse management system, automated container tracking with real-time visibility, and high-speed Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) packaging lines acquired through the 2025 combination with A&R Bulk-Pak, which can process over 18 railcars per day and load 70+ containers daily. Harbor serves a diversified vertical mix spanning automotive and manufacturing, retail and consumer goods, construction, petrochemical producers and trading companies, energy and chemicals, agriculture and commodities, e-commerce, metals, food and beverage, and project cargo, with named enterprise customers including The Andersons and Lineage.

The business model is asset-based and transaction-fee driven: drayage, transloading, and brokerage generate per-move transaction revenue, warehousing produces recurring storage income, and contract packaging for petrochemicals is sold as a managed service. Pricing is custom-quoted rather than publicly listed, reflecting the bespoke nature of industrial logistics contracts. The company has executed a consistent roll-up strategy under NOVA Infrastructure, combining Premier Logistics Solutions (2021), ATS Logistics (2022), and A&R Bulk-Pak (2025) to scale capabilities, and is currently led by CEO Scott Auslund following a May 2026 leadership transition.
