L&P SHIPPERS ASSOCIATION

EXPERTISE IN SHIPPING SOLUTIONS

Managed by Leggett & Platt Global Supply Chain Solutions, the L&P Shippers Association is a not-for-profit organization incorporated in 2008 for international ocean freight containers. It is a membership-driven co-op where companies (members/shippers) combine their volumes collectively for competitive rate levels. The L&P Shippers Association has contracts with all major ocean carriers, who can provide global coverage for all your needs. In addition, these contracts provide coverage in each of the major shippers’ alliances, along with the flexibility of niche carriers. We are not an NVOCC; shipments move on carriers BOL. We are forwarder and customs broker neutral. We can use your existing providers, or offer these services through our partnered agents. LPSA has the flexibility similar to an NVOCC, with a wide range of carriers to choose from and beneficial cargo owner pricing.
