In today's global economy, it's important to have a partner you can depend on.
For more than 40 years, that partner has been Tropical Shipping for the people of the Bahamas.
Decades of dependable delivery of everything from small packages to large grocery shipments and building materials are at the very heart of the longstanding relationship between Tropical Shipping and the people and businesses of Nassau, Bahamas.
As part of the company's commitment to the region and its customers there, Tropical added a sixth weekly sailing to Nassau in April 2007.
"With more sailings to Nassau than anyone else in the industry, plus our bonded warehouse and the largest local Bahamian customer service and sales staff means we are able to provide superior customer service and expert shipping solutions to our customers," said Tropical Shipping President Rick Murrell.
Tropical was the first commercial shipping company to berth at John Alfred Dock (then John Alfred Wharf) in 1968 and continues to enjoy exclusive use of the terminal.
Fast documentation services, easy access to cargo and the availability of on-line shipping services 24-7 are just some of the many benefits Tropical provides customers in Nassau.
Danbrad Limited CEO Earla Bethel wrote the staff of the Tropical office in Nassau to thank them for their high performance with her cargo. "Thank you for providing exceptional service for me … Your commitment to excellence is indeed impressive. Kudos!" Mrs. Bethel is also the owner and operator of the McDonald's franchise in Nassau.

Tropical's commitment to the Bahamian customer dates to 1963 when Tropical's first ship, the Tropic Ace, made her maiden voyage to Freeport, bringing machinery and building supplies to the developing Grand Bahama region. Just four years later, Tropical began service to Nassau and soon had a ship, the Tropic Day, built specifically to service the Freeport and Nassau markets.
Tropical Shipping doesn't just offer service to Nassau, the company and its employees are part of the community -- and we look forward to the next 40 years in Nassau.
Regional Manager for Nassau and Bahamas Family Islands, Garth Rolle summed it up well. "Our success comes from the fact that we view our customers as our partners; when they succeed, we succeed."
