About us

Nirint Shipping was established in 1992.

Regular multi-purpose shipping possibilities from the Caribbean to the European continent were scarce and far from reliable which created an urgent need for additional shipping capacity. Nirint initially filled that gap by chartering monthly conventional tonnage to Europe and gradually expanded to a (current) fleet of modern multi-purpose vessels with substantial container capacity and up to 150 metric tons lifting-gear.

So, what started as a sole customer/dedicated service has slowly developed into a reputable / well acknowledged liner service with a flexible rotation, offering 14 days sailing frequency calling main ports on 3 different continents.

We serve both liner and tramp-orientated shippers. Those, and the flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions / circumstances, are our main strengths. Besides developing as a maritime liner service, Nirint adopted the philosophy of "in-house agents perform better”.

Hence we established our own liner agent-offices in Moerdijk, Bilbao, Antwerp, Montreal and several ports in the Caribbean. Said branch offices are not one-dimensional liner agents but offer all other logistic services varying from inland transport (truck/railway/barge) , airfreight and international forwarding to dry/climatised storage and warehousing.

The Moerdijk and Bilbao companies even dispose of dedicated stevedoring terminals where Nirint ships are loaded/discharged under own supervision and ample storage facilities are available.

Nirint's long-term objective comprises further expansion of the current liner activity as well as intensifying our overall presence in Asian markets.
