Seaboard Marine, a leading maritime transport company with a global presence, continues to solidify its commitment to safety and logistical efficiency through its Trusted Operator (TO) certification.

With 98% of its certification process complete, the company reaffirms its position in the sector, ensuring excellent service for clients and strategic partners.

A Key Step to Strengthening the Relationship with the DGA: For Seaboard Marine, the Trusted Operator certification represents an opportunity to solidify its commitment and relationship with the General Directorate of Customs (DGA). With over 40 years of experience, the company has maintained close communication with the DGA, which has allowed it to optimize processes and guarantee regulatory compliance in its operations. "We expect this certification to further strengthen our relationship with the DGA, which has been carefully maintained over the years," stated a Seaboard Marine representative. Impact on Competitiveness and Customer Trust: The certification process has provided the company with a deeper understanding of its operations, identifying key opportunities for improvement.

Thanks to the knowledge gained, Seaboard Marine has strengthened its internal procedures, ensuring a higher level of control and security in cargo management. "The knowledge acquired has been very enriching, allowing us to implement strategic improvements that will benefit our team and our clients," the company stated. Furthermore, the certification will reinforce the confidence of its clients and strategic partners. Seaboard Marine, which already holds BASC certification, will add Trusted Operator (TO) certification, guaranteeing more robust security processes. "Our clients can rest assured that their cargo is in the hands of a highly qualified team, with processes that meet the highest international standards," they emphasized.

Overcoming Challenges on the Road to Certification One of the main challenges faced by Seaboard Marine was time management and internal coordination to make the most of the technical assistance sessions. However, the team's commitment allowed the process to be carried out successfully. "We knew the importance of this process and made sure to dedicate all our attention and effort to meeting the requirements and improving our operations," they noted.

Commitment to Logistics Excellence: With its Trusted Operator certification, Seaboard Marine reinforces its commitment to safety and efficiency in the supply chain, offering its customers reliable, high-quality service. This recognition will allow the company to strengthen its position in the sector and continue innovating in the logistics field. Seaboard Marine continues its journey toward operational excellence, focusing on continuous improvement and the implementation of international standards that benefit the entire foreign trade chain.

COEXPORT is leading a significant effort to support Salvadoran companies in their preparation for Trusted Operator (TO) certification, a key recognition for ensuring safety and efficiency in the logistics chain. This program has made remarkable progress, with five companies, including Seaboard Marine, achieving compliance levels exceeding 90%.
