The Beginning of I.C.E. Transport Co., Inc.
I.C.E. Transport Co., Inc. was founded in New Jersey in 1987 by partners Henryk Rożek and Jeff Hooley. Soon after, the first office was established in Gdynia, followed by branches in Warsaw, Lithuania, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, France, Portugal, Canada, and China. Based on its own international offices, as well as a network of agents, I.C.E. Transport Co., Inc. is able to offer worldwide container transport.
For every type of shipment, the company offers a range of valuable services. For commercial shipments (export / import), these include: land transport to/from the client, transshipment, warehousing, packing, and preparation of full transport and customs documentation.
For relocation shipments, I.C.E. Transport Co., Inc. offers two loading options: a 3-hour loading with the possibility of extension for an additional fee, or leaving the container in front of the house for up to 4 days. The company also offers the option of delivering the entire container to a specified address with a stop at the nearest customs office. From the moment the container is ordered, the company maintains constant contact with the client and provides assistance in every area, based on the many years of experience of its employees. Furthermore, I.C.E. Transport Co., Inc. handles all customs and export documentation in the USA. Some of our international offices also house customs agencies that will assist you with the customs clearance of your relocation property in the chosen country.
I.C.E. Transport Co., Inc. also ships unusual / oversized cargo. For shipments of construction machinery, agricultural machinery, yachts, and factory machinery, we offer RO-RO service or loading onto specialized container platforms.
Confirmation of the reliability of I.C.E. Transport Co., Inc. comes from the opinions of several clients who spoke about their cooperation with I.C.E.
“Mr. Sławomir Tomkowski, owner of Stebco, Inc., has been cooperating with I.C.E. Transport for over twenty years, since the beginning of his company. Stebco, Inc. ships two to three hundred containers annually… These are copper semi-finished products, rods, and pipes imported from Poland to the USA. According to Mr. Sławomir, the choice of I.C.E. Transport was determined by the company’s reliability, ease of contact, and constant cargo control. For such shipments, information is very important; every delay means losses, which is why Mr. Sławomir trusted I.C.E. Transport.”
The details of relocation shipments were also commented on by Ms. Maria Machaczka and Daniel Dobrzański.
“Ms. Maria shipped a 20’ container to Poland, and she rates the service with an A+! Her first positive surprise was the possibility of leaving the container for several days. In such a situation, she could calmly and stress-free take care of even the smallest details. During transport, the company was in constant contact with Ms. Maria. An individual approach to the client and special care for their well-being build great trust and peace of mind.”
“Mr. Daniel Dobrzański used the services of I.C.E. Transport Co., Inc. twice. His shipment, picked up from his home in Dallas, TX, was delivered to his home in Poland within the guaranteed time. In his cooperation with the company, he appreciated the efficiency and punctuality of the service. He was informed about every subsequent stage. Diligence and precision are – according to Mr. Daniel – the hallmark of I.C.E. Transport Co., Inc.”
