About me
My organisation
Established in 1963, the European Shippers' Council is a non-profit European organisation representing cargo owners i.e. freight transport interests of around 100.000 companies throughout Europe, including manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers (import and export, intercontinental). Collectively they are referred to as ‘shippers’ as neutral user of transport (all modes: air; road, rail, waterborne).
The global ESC network consists of national shippers’ associations, European commodity trade associations (e.g. chemical, steel, paper) and corporate members among which well-known multinational brands (e.g. FMCG and food sector). The ESC aims at creating a level playing field in Europe and between continents.
Internationally, the ESC works closely with the Asian Shippers’ Association (ASA) and the American Association of Exporters and Importers (AAEI), together forming the Global Shippers Alliance (GSA).
