Seaway Logistics

What Seaway Logistics does

Seaway Logistics Ltd is an Israel-based international freight forwarder headquartered in Ramat Gan, offering multimodal logistics services that include sea freight (FCL, LCL, consolidation, special equipment, Ro/Ro), air freight (scheduled and chartered), land transportation (domestic and overland to the Gulf region via Jordan and Saudi Arabia), customs brokerage (tax planning, classification, permit issuance), and international drop-shipment services. Founded in 2001, the company claims more than 30 years of industry experience and positions itself as a leading player in Israel's import/export market. Operations are anchored by four physical branch offices at the country's principal logistics nodes — Port of Ashdod, Port of Haifa, Ben Gurion Airport, and the Jordan Border Crossing — and are extended globally through a network of 80+ offices and 800+ exclusive agents.

The company serves a horizontally diversified customer base spanning small-to-medium businesses requiring guided support on international shipping, multinational corporations with complex multi-jurisdiction supply chains, and Blue Chip clients with high-volume recurring freight needs. Its technology layer centers on an advanced shipment tracking and management system that monitors cargo from order through customs clearance, complemented by a self-service online air freight quote tool and integrations with Titan-Soft for container search and storage certificate lookup. The corporate website operates bilingually (Hebrew/English) and uses WordPress/Elementor infrastructure based on URL patterns.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on freight movements across sea, air, and land modes, with customs clearance billed as professional services. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct office-based account management and complemented by self-service quote forms on the website. Pricing is fully bespoke and quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers, reflecting the customized nature of freight forwarding engagements. No funding rounds, M&A activity, public listing, or disclosed revenue figures were found in the source data, and ownership appears to be privately held without institutional investors on record.

Broad incumbents

• DHL Global Forwarding: Deutsche Post DHL's freight forwarding arm offers air, ocean, road, and customs services with worldwide agent infrastructure. Comparable full-stack forwarder offering and global agent network model, though serving much larger enterprise and SMB customer bases globally.
• Kuehne+Nagel: One of the world's largest freight forwarders with global ocean, air, and customs brokerage capabilities across all major trade lanes. Directly comparable service mix to Seaway's multi-modal offering but at vastly greater scale, serving multinational clients from SMBs to large enterprises.
• C.H. Robinson: Major North American freight forwarder and third-party logistics provider with air, ocean, customs, and truckload services. Comparable multi-modal forwarding model and customs brokerage capabilities, though primarily US-centric with different geographic concentration than Seaway.
• DSV A/S: Danish-headquartered global freight forwarder with strong air, sea, and road forwarding plus customs services across all continents. Comparable multi-modal forwarding with agent network, though significantly larger scale and broader customer base.
• CEVA Logistics: CMA CGM-owned global freight forwarder offering sea, air, ground, and customs services with worldwide coverage. Closely comparable multi-modal offering and forwarder model; backed by a major ocean carrier creates both partnership opportunity and competitive tension for independent forwarders like Seaway.
• Expeditors International: US-listed global logistics provider offering ocean and air freight forwarding plus customs brokerage. Similar integrated service model with proprietary tracking systems and global network coverage, competing for many of the same mid-market and enterprise customers.
• Hellmann Worldwide Logistics: Germany-headquartered mid-tier global forwarder offering air, sea, road, and customs brokerage with an extensive agent network. Closely comparable to Seaway in business model (multi-modal forwarder with strong agent relationships) and in being a privately/family-influenced firm rather than public giant.
• DB Schenker: German state-owned global forwarder with air, ocean, land, and contract logistics plus customs services. Comparable integrated forwarding offering and similar emphasis on multi-modal coordination, though at significantly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.

Emerging players

• Flexport: US digital-first freight forwarder offering ocean, air, trucking, and customs with end-to-end software platform. Comparable service categories to Seaway but radically different delivery model (digital workflow vs. branch-based), representing the structural threat to traditional SMB and mid-market forwarder relationships.
• Freightos: Israeli-founded digital freight marketplace and forwarder offering online ocean and air freight booking plus customs. Directly comparable service categories and Israeli origin, but digitally native versus Seaway's traditional branch-based operating model; relevant both as competitor and potential partner/distribution channel.
