Dragon Maritime

What Dragon Maritime does

Dragon Maritime is a privately held freight forwarding and logistics company founded in 2005 and headquartered in Belgrade. The company provides freight forwarding, shipping agency, customs brokerage, and project cargo logistics services, positioning it as a mid-tier multi-modal logistics intermediary serving shippers that require coordinated transport, customs clearance, and handling of specialized or over-dimensional cargo.

Operating with a workforce of 51-100 employees, Dragon Maritime sits in the small-to-mid-cap segment of the freight forwarding market. The service mix spans transactional forwarding (where revenue is driven by margin on freight bookings) and fee-based customs brokerage (documentation and clearance), with project cargo representing a higher-value, contract-driven revenue line typically tied to industrial, energy, or infrastructure shipments.

The business model is conventional asset-light logistics intermediation: the company earns fees and margins on cargo movements, agency commissions on vessel calls, customs filing fees, and project cargo contracts, rather than owning vessels, aircraft, or warehouses. No customer logos, segment mix, pricing tiers, GTM channels, or technology stack details were available in the source data, which limits further granularity on revenue mechanics and target customer profile. The public website returned only a verification/loader page, preventing direct confirmation of service detail or corporate positioning.
