About Us
The European hub of a global logistics family
Our Story
Sea Master Netherlands was established in 2024 as the European hub of the Seamaster Maritime & Logistics Group — a leading, internationally recognised freight forwarding and logistics business founded in 1998 in South Africa. As the European extension of Seamaster South Africa, we bring the group’s proven expertise and global capabilities directly into the European market.
Headquartered in Rotterdam, Europe’s largest and most connected port, we combine decades of international logistics experience with a strategic location at the heart of global trade routes. Our presence here enables us to efficiently connect Europe with Africa and the rest of the world.
