Atlas Marine

What Atlas Marine does

Atlas Marine, LLC is a privately held port-adjacent drayage, transportation, and warehousing operator headquartered in Long Beach, California. Founded in 1978 and acquired by Cargomatic in 2019, the company provides bonded carrier services including local harbor drayage, rail intermodal drayage, LTL freight, hazmat transportation, overweight container handling, and a coast-to-coast fleet, serving shippers, consignees, brokers, and freight forwarders. Its core operating geography covers the LA Basin with regional extensions into Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA, and the company maintains its own fleet (GPS-equipped, radio-dispatched, with tri-axle chassis for overweight loads), warehousing and yard facilities, and a workforce of 11–50 employees.

The company's technology stack centers on a transportation management and operations platform supporting real-time job tracking, online billing, and electronic paperwork handling — features it markets around "lightning fast" service. It differentiates on environmental credentials (EPA SmartWay, CARB Heavy-Duty Vehicle GHG compliance), regulatory licensing (ICC Authority, hazmat, TWIC, bonded carrier, USDA), and operational depth (handling overweight containers, permit loads, import/export devanning, transloading, sorting, palletizing). All trucks, warehouses, and yards are company-owned rather than subcontracted, with employee drivers receiving long-term benefits.

Atlas Marine generates revenue on a transactional fee basis across two streams: transportation services (per-shipment base transportation fees plus accessorial charges such as unloading, detention, layover, stop-offs, pallet, demurrage, customs, tariffs, and taxes), and warehousing/storage services (monthly storage charges plus per-service transloading, sorting, and palletizing fees). Pricing is quote-based and negotiated via rate request, not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is primarily direct B2B — website rate request form, direct outreach, and 40+ years of reputation — supplemented by referral flow through the parent Cargomatic digital platform.
