What Ocean Freight Logistics does

Ocean Freight Logistics (DBA: OFL Logistics) is a privately held Indian freight forwarding and logistics firm established in 2010 and headquartered in Coimbatore, India. The company delivers an integrated suite of six core services: multimodal Supply Chain Management, licensed Customs Broking, Air Freight Forwarding with worldwide consolidation, 3PL/4PL warehousing and fulfillment services, surface Transportation (including heavy/over-dimensional cargo using owned container trailers and hydraulic axle trailers), and LCL Container Consolidation with weekly sailings from India to hub ports in the Far East, Middle East, Europe, and the United States. Its primary customer base is horizontal, serving import/export businesses and importers with multiple suppliers who require consolidation, customs documentation, and end-to-end door-to-door coordination.

The firm operates three offices in India — its Coimbatore headquarters, a Coimbatore branch, and a Tuticorin branch — and extends international reach through an agent network spanning major global hub ports. Ocean Freight Logistics owns its container trailer fleet, enabling in-house control of surface transport and specialized handling of heavy cargo with multi-agency clearances (PWD/RTO/Police/Forest). Revenue is generated through service fees on freight forwarding, customs clearance, transportation, and 3PL/4PL contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is customized per client. The company is founder-operated (contact email [email protected]) with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or institutional ownership. Technology infrastructure is not publicly described beyond basic track-and-trace in freight forwarding, and no AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or proprietary platforms are disclosed.
