Sealand Group

What Sealand Group does

Sealand Group operates in the logistics sector through its Polish subsidiary Sealand Liquids sp. z o.o., a private limited company headquartered in Gdynia, Poland, founded in 2015. The company is a specialized liquid-cargo freight forwarder serving enterprise B2B customers in the chemical, food, fuel/energy, agricultural, and industrial/manufacturing verticals, with operations claimed across all continents. It is one of several units within the broader Sealand Group conglomerate and operates as an independent legal entity (Sealand Liquids sp. z o.o.) with registered capital of PLN 10,000.

The company's core capability is door-to-door liquid logistics built around specialized equipment and a curated network of global shipping partners. The branded product portfolio includes the E-FLEX flexitank (up to 27,000L capacity, mounting time of 30 minutes, operating range -50°C to +80°C), ISO Tanks for deep-sea routes (25,000L, hazardous-liquid rated), SWAP BODY Shortsea tank containers (35,000L, road/rail/sea intermodal), I-FLEX flexible storage tanks (25,000-70,000L, UV-resistant, no building permit required), and K-FLEX containers positioned as an IBC alternative. Sea-freight capacity is sourced through channel partnerships with Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, MSC, CMA CGM, COSCO, OOCL, and Evergreen Marine, while global coverage is extended via network memberships in WCA World (13,019+ offices in 196 countries), Premier Bulk Liquids Alliance (PBLA), and WCA China Global.

The business model is asset-light freight forwarding and equipment rental with a transaction-fee revenue structure on a quote-based, multi-year contract cadence. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by dedicated Key Account Managers and Division Managers covering container transport, ISO tanks (overseas and shortsea), flexitank, road/FTL transport, and container/ISO tank rental. Compliance with ISO 9001 and a positive SQAS assessment (Cefic) underwrite the firm's right to handle hazardous chemicals for major chemical producers. Pricing is fully customized — no public rate cards — and customers include unnamed "world's largest chemical corporations," "world-class food producers," fertilizer producers, and fuel/energy concerns. Polish, English, and German-language websites, a maintained blog, and online quote-request capture form the digital top-of-funnel.
