Trophy transportation is more than transportation

The team behind Labrador Cargo

Why are you called Labrador Cargo?

It’s not by accident that we go by the name of Labrador Cargo. The Labrador breed is one of the world’s most widely-used hunting dogs are used for fetching a downed prey. We do the same but just over slightly longer distances.

Marlene Jürgensen founded Labrador Cargo in 2009, with the mission of making the transportation of hunting trophies an easy and transparent process for the hunter.

”I’ve been a shipping agent since 1997 when I started my education in Germany. Since then I’ve worked on the disposition, import and export, custom clearances, transport insurance and everything else that goes with it. I have to admit that I’m not a hunter. I’m an incarnated outdoor person but I’m not a hunter. Just so you know. The idea of Labrador Cargo came from a friend of mine who had been hunting out in Canada in 2007. In my efforts to try and help him, I learned more and more about the various documents and necessary permits and the more I learned, the more I became involved with the project. I have an enormous amount of respect for hunters, and I wanted to help in this area which, for some, is an unavoidable task. In 2009 the time was ripe and Labrador Cargo was set up. The first consignments were sent as air freight and the first containers arrived at the Fredericia quayside in 2011.

Today, we regularly load containers from South Africa, Namibia and Eastern Canada. We deliver trophies to the whole of Europe and Norway where we have had our own department since 2014. We are very proud that, today, we are one of Europe’s leading transporters of hunting trophies. We constantly strive to keep ahead of prevailing regulations and any new expertise within this area.

You see – the transportation of hunting trophies is not a part of what we do. It’s the only thing we do!”

Our speciality

All shipping agents can move an item from A to B, but when it comes to hunting trophies then a range of special regulations, registrations and relevant permits apply. Labrador Cargo has specialised in the transport of hunting trophies and are consequently registered as an importer of hunting trophies from all over the world so naturally we know all about CITES permits and veterinary specifications etc. Since we only concentrate in this particular area, it means that we follow the development of this market closely while we are also constantly increasing our expertise in the field of trophy transportation.

Strong customer contact

Unlike many”commercial shipping agents”, here at Labrador Cargo we maintain close contact with all of our clients and collaborators. We’ve worked with many of these collaborators and suppliers for many years. All of our clients have fantastic hunting stories to tell – and by managing the transportation of trophies in a professional and efficient way allows Labrador Cargo to be part of that story. We place great importance on creating and maintaining good and strong relationships with all of our clients.
