The Founding Fathers and International Shipping!

With Independence Day still fresh in everyone's mind and fireworks still decorating the sky, isn't it time to look at those who made the United States what it is today? 

We are talking about the Founding Fathers, of course! 

They not only helped draft the constitution and other official documents regarding the start of this country and its independence from England, but also came up with all of the ideas about government that we still use today. Without their ideas, there would be no America, and more importantly, no international shipping services! 

So here are some of the most important founding fathers: 

George Washington
Everyone knows him as the 1st president of the United States, but not everyone knows about the sacrifices he made to get there. First, the battles he lead as an inexperienced general in the Revolutionary War had a profound affect on the aftermath of the war, and eventually the defeat of England. Also, Washington was one of the first Founding Fathers to "outline" what he thought the government should be like. 
Similarly, K International is one of the most reliable international shipping companies there are, and we will help you defeat all of your battles against international shipping mishaps. Whether you want to ship a car, with our overseas car shipping services, or a boat, with our international boat shipping services, we will get your cargo there in no time! 



Benjamin Franklin
This Founding Father not only contributed to the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, AND the Constitution, but was also a scientist and writer on the side! He was a Jack of all trades, and worked up to a very old age. He was the oldest delegate at the Continental Congress (over 80 years old)!
K International Transport, like Benjamin Franklin, can look after every aspect of your international shipping needs. We will transport your cargo to a port in the United States, ship it internationally with ro/ro services or in a container, and oversee that it gets to its destination with no problems!




Alexander Hamilton
Founding Father, secretary of the treasury, and economic genius? Yes, that sounds like Alexander Hamilton. He ran the treasury, but did so in a way that was unorthodox and not understood by everyone. His federalist policies, especially those involving the National Bank of the United States, revolutionized the country's economy. Unfortunately he was killed in a duel at a young age, otherwise, who knows what else he'd do?
K International will handle all aspects of your international shipping, including all of the monetary issues. We will get your cargo, whether it be a car, a boat, or construction equipment with construction equipment shipping  services, to its destination efficiently and for an affordable price!  

Watch this Alexander Hamilton rap to truly understand his inspirational life!

Happy Independence Day!

Everyone knows the story of America's independence from Britain in the 18th century. A series of taxes and oppressive laws led colonists to revolt a number of times, including the events at the Boston Tea Party (previously discussed here). 

However, not everyone knows the implications of America's independence on international shipping services. 

After the revolutionary war, one of America's rights was to import and export whatever they chose, outside of the mercantile boundaries placed on the 13 colonies by Great Britain at the time. 


So as you celebrate July 4th, and Independence Day weekend, remember that if you want to ship a boat to anywhere in the world, with international boat shipping services, you can do so because of the efforts of Americans in the Revolutionary War!

 Also, you have the choice of which international shipping company to use when you ship your cargo, but know that K International Transport is the best! We offer many services, including: 

  •  international shipping services from any port in the United States, including but not limited to those in New York, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and California! 
  • Inland trucking and transportation services, just in case you need to get your cargo from another state and bring it to a port city.
  • roll-on/roll-off services to board your cargo onto a vessel before shipping it abroad. 



So call K International Transport today if you are looking for an international shipping company to get your cargo anywhere in the world, including Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America.

International Shipping Role Model!

Although many historical figures are responsible for making international shipping services  what they are today, one stands above the rest. This person not only revolutionized international shipping, making it common and accepted in the region, but was also able to open up an entire city because of it! 

We are, of course, talking about Catherine the Great!


Catherine the Great was known for being the longest-ruling female leader of Russia, reigning for 34 years in the second half of the 18th century. However, this wasn't the most pivotal thing about her! For one, she wasn't even Russian! She married into the infamous Romanov family, before finding herself part of a coup to overthrow her husband. Even more amazing, during her reign, she put down over a dozen rebellions!

But what does this have to do with international shipping, and international shipping companies?

Although Catherine the Great was known for many things, she was most renowned for her westernization policies. She opened Russia to Western ideas, including art, philosophy, technology, and music. With these policies, Catherine the Great helped transform St. Petersburg from a "backwards" city, to a cultural hub. 

Thanks to her encouragement of international shipping, especially of the transport of new technology into St. Petersburg, the city is what it is today!



So how can K International Transport help? Well, we can ship your cargo from any port in the United States, including 
  • New York
  • Florida
  • Virginia
  • Maryland
  • South Carolina
  • Georgia
  • Texas
  • California
We will ship your cargo, whether it be an automobile with our overseas car transport services, or virtually anything else, to Russia efficiently and for an affordable price that even Catherine the Great would be proud of!

MVP's of Team USA

Here at K International, we are 
"FĂștbol" fans. As you probably know, team USA was eliminated yesterday 
when they lost against Belgium, 2-1. However, team USA played well and 
gave us a lot to celebrate. 

So without further ado, here are the top two most valuable players from 
yesterday's game, and how K International Transport's 
international shipping services can compare:



Tim Howard
He is the goalkeeper that everyone has been talking about. But what is so 
special about him? Well, not only is he considered one of the best goalies in the world,
 but he set a record in yesterday's game: he had 16 saves against Belgium! Even
 though Belgium ended up winning, Howard really helped team USA with
 impeccable defense!
Similarly, at K International Transport, we are the goalies of international shipping! 
We will protect your cargo, whether it be an automobile, with our overseas car shipping 
services, or virtually anything else, from the elements with roll-on/roll-off services. 

Tim Howard had 16 saves against Belgium in yesterday's game!

Julian Green
Another favorite, Julian Green is a forward who scored the goal against Belgium in the July 1st game. What makes him special is that he is one of the youngest players on the team, only 19 years old! The goal was unexpected, but that made it all the more exciting for USA fans! 
At K International, even though we probably cannot score any goals against Belgium, we are a reliable international shipping company, and we will definitely "score" every time you need to ship something overseas. We can make sure that your cargo gets to its destination quickly and safely, with no extra hassle on your part!

However, knowing all the steps your construction equipment will take before it is shipped overseas will not only help you understand, but will grant you peace of mind! 



  1. Before your construction and high-heavy equipment can be shipped, it will be transported from a warehouse to a port in the United States, like those in New York, Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Texas, or California, depending on where your cargo is located, and where you are shipping. 
  2. If your cargo is not already located in a port city, no worries! Trustworthy international shipping companies, like K International Transport, offer inland trucking services to get your construction and high-heavy equipment from anywhere in the United States to a port city before being shipped.

  4. If you want to ship your cargo in a container, K International Transport offers dismantling services for heavy equipment shipping to make the equipment small enough to be containerized.

Have you ever wondered what the most popular ports for international shipping are? Well, some may surprise you! 

No matter how where the ports are, or how busy they are, a reliable international shipping company like K International Transport can get your cargo there! A full list of popular ports of call can be found here, but some of them are as follows:


Alexandria, Egypt
Egypt itself is one of the most popular countries to ship to, and Alexandria is typically a very busy port city, and one of the oldest, built circa 1900. Anything from personal belongings aimed at family members in Egypt, to cars with K International Transport's international automobile shipping, are shipped. 
K International can ship almost any cargo to Egypt through Alexandria, just give us a call!


Oslo, Norway
This port is important because it is located in southern Norway, and connects the country to Germany and Denmark. Norway has a large group of vintage car collectors, that often buy cars from car dealerships in the United States. So what better time than now to use K International Transport's overseas car shipping services to ship to Norway? 
Fun fact: last year, the United States exported over $4 billion worth of cargo to Norway. 



Port-au-Prince, Haiti
This port is usually the most familiar to people. Unfortunately, a devastating earthquake hit Haiti in 2010, damaging the port, but ultimately leading to an increase of construction equipment shipping through Port-au-Prince. 
Now you can get involved as well. K International Transport can help you ship heavy machinery or construction equipment to Haiti quickly, and for an affordable price!
