Seabridge

What Seabridge does

Seabridge Global Logistics is an Australasian-headquartered freight forwarder and customs broker that provides end-to-end movement of trade across air, sea, and warehousing modalities. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Eagle Farm (Brisbane), Australia, the company operates owned offices across Australia, New Zealand, China, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia, and extends its reach through an independent agent network covering 159 countries and over 470 locations. Core service lines include air freight forwarding (including same-day express and perishable goods), sea freight forwarding (FCL, LCL, coastal, and project cargo for oversized and heavy-lift consignments), customs brokerage for import and export declarations, and 3PL warehousing and distribution with cold-chain capability.

The technology backbone is Hive, a proprietary digital management platform that integrates real-time cargo tracking, remote warehouse management, and — following a 2024 update — carbon emissions measurement and offsetting aligned to the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework. Supporting tooling includes a customer-facing 'Make A Booking' portal, sailing schedules, and a customer login for order tracking. The platform is positioned as a visibility and integration layer rather than an AI-driven optimization system.

Seabridge's commercial model is sales-led with dedicated account specialists assigned to each customer, supplemented by self-serve online booking for mid-market shippers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts noted. The customer base spans five primary verticals — food and beverage, agribusiness, retail, liquid logistics (including flexitank), and general trade — with no named customer logos publicly disclosed. Seabridge holds Australian Trusted Trader accreditation with the Australian Border Force and is a member of FIATA and IFCBAA, providing regulatory credibility in customs brokerage. The company operates as a subsidiary of the Cardinal Group, which provides strategic and financial backing for global operations.
