In the past 80 years, T. Parker Host Inc. has handled thousands of EXPORT coal shipments from  Hampton Roads and Baltimore. Our company’s success has been closely tied to the export coal market.   As the coal market has changed, the HOST organization has changed to keep pace.

Of course T. Parker Host Inc. continues to provide superior vessel agency services to a variety of owners, charterers, shippers and receivers in the Mid-Atlantic region. With the ever changing Coal Export market, we are steadfast in the research and development of new services to offer our clients.  Our diversification has positioned us to become the leader in the handing of IMPORT coal shipments to the United States.

 

As agents for export cargoes we supervise rail shipments from the mines to the terminals, maintain inventory, and overcome endless logistical obstacles.  Coordinating shipments from start to finish has made us experts in vessel stowage, rail movements, barge freight, laytime, and terminal operations.  This expertise has now been shifted to the import coal market.

Based on our experience we have evolved from cargo-coordinators to cargo-movers.  Beyond just offering logistical solutions, T. Parker Host Inc. is now capable of moving your shipments from concept to reality.

We now confidently offer the following services beyond vessel agency for your cargoes
