The shortest line between two ports is a Meridian.
We move containerized, refrigerated and out-of-gauge cargo across 118 ports on six continents — one carrier, one waybill, schedules you can plan a quarter around.
What we carry
Four services, one bill of lading.
Whether it is forty thousand boxes a week or a single 500-tonne transformer, the booking, the tracking and the accountability stay with Meridian end to end.
Liner Shipping
Fixed-day sailings on the world’s busiest trades
Weekly fixed-day departures across the Transpacific, Asia–Europe and transatlantic trades, backed by a fleet built for schedule integrity.
Service detailsReefer & Cold Chain
Temperature held within 0.3°C, quay to quay
Controlled-atmosphere and refrigerated transport for perishables, pharmaceuticals and high-value produce, monitored continuously in transit.
Service detailsProject & Breakbulk
Out-of-gauge and heavy-lift, engineered per shipment
Heavy-lift, out-of-gauge and breakbulk movements — turbine blades, transformers, mining plant — planned by a dedicated engineering desk.
Service detailsInland & Intermodal
One waybill, port to inland door
Rail, barge and road haulage stitched to the ocean leg so that a single Meridian waybill covers the whole journey inland.
Service detailsThe fleet
Tonnage matched to the trade.
Four vessel classes, from 24,000-TEU dual-fuel flagships to shallow-draft feeders that reach the river ports the giants cannot.
Dual-fuel methanol mainline flagships on the Asia–Europe string.
Workhorses of the Transpacific loops, sized to the expanded canal locks.
High reefer-plug density for the South America and Oceania produce trades.
Shallow-draft feeders reaching secondary and river ports.
The Meridian Line
Built for the long haul.
Global network
Eight hubs, one timetable.
Mainline strings interlock at our gateway hubs so that a box loaded in Shanghai can reach Santos or Sydney on a single, predictable transshipment.

The ocean is not a write-off line on the invoice.
Shipping carries 80% of world trade and roughly 3% of its emissions. We treat that figure as something to retire, not defend — through dual-fuel newbuilds, slow-steaming where the schedule allows, and shore power at every hub we control.
