SeaWitch Global Shipping
and Logistics, LLC

The Howland Group, Inc. is proud to announce the launch of SeaWitch Global Shipping and Logistics, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary. The name of our newest venture was inspired by the tea clipper vessel Sea Witch originally owned by the firm of Howland and Aspinwall.

Sea Witch, launched in Manhattan on December 8, 1946, was built for speedy movement of high-valued freight. In 1849 she sailed a record setting run from Hong Kong to New York in just 74 days. According to Wikipedia “this March 1849 mark is one of the oldest human speed records remaining as of 2009, having not yet been bettered by any sailing vessel.”

SeaWitch Global Shipping and Logistics, LLC was formed as a new U.S. citizen and minority owned entrant into the U.S. shipping industry. SeaWitch services include:

Ship management
Ship operations
Vessel chartering
Transportation logistics services including planning and scheduling of shipments
Supply chain logistics services including storage, transportation, and delivery

SeaWitch and its sister corporation, RAPID Service, LLC, are partnered to bring next generation tools and services to commercial and military customers with requirements to move high-value, time-sensitive cargo worldwide within a high-speed, secure, end-to-end distribution system.

While SeaWitch Global Shipping and Logistic’s namesake was focused on the speed between ports, we are focused on the velocity through the entire supply chain from the earliest point of identification of a movement requirement to the final point of delivery. Throughout the process we utilize RAPID Service’s tools and services to provide our customers with enhanced in-transit visibility and security so they know where their products are at all times within the supply chain.
