Meet Coot Freight Ltd.
From our team to yours, welcome.
Coot Freight Ltd. is a privately-owned international freight forwarding company offering professional transportation services to worldwide destinations by land, air, and sea.

The co-founders of Coot Freight Ltd. spent years working in the freight transportation industry, building their expertise by learning as much as possible through various freight forwarders and gaining hands-on, in-depth industry experience. The duo eventually grew tired of working for other companies and decided to take their knowledge to the next level and begin an entrepreneurial journey. Thus, Coot Freight Ltd. was born in 2011, starting out in a London office before quickly expanding to a second office in Rotterdam by 2016. Now, in 2020, Coot Freight is taking the freight forwarding industry by storm and carving out a leadership role in the Russian market.
Coot Freight Ltd. was founded on the idea of freight forwarding made simple, personable, flexible, and fast, and our mission is to be a one-stop-shop for freight and customs clearance requirements to Russia. Since our company is small, we can grow long-lasting partnerships with our clients and provide custom freight transportation solutions – unlike our competition. Working with Coot Freight Ltd. is like gaining an extra friend who is swift, efficient, and reliable. Other companies are the jack of all trades and master of none, but we are the sea-freight & Russian specialist. As the water-fowl mascot of our company implies, our specialty is transportation by sea. There is no body of water too far or too wide that could prevent Coot Freight Ltd. from safely delivering your goods. We also specialize in global multimodal shipments to and from the exciting country of Russia.

Coot.

Fulica atra, is all-black, medium-sized water bird, member of the rail family Rallidae.

Overview.

The Coot has a distinctive white beak and ‘shield’ above the beak which earns it the title ‘bald’. Coots are territorial, but sociable birds, often seen feeding together in flocks on ponds.

What they eat.

Coots are omnivorous, they dive below the surface, to depths of up to two metres, searching insect larvae and other food.
