Trailer Bridge Inc., a Jacksonville-based transportation provider, announced Oct. 2 that U.S. Transportation Command awarded the company the Stevedoring and Terminal Services, All Ports Denmark contract.

The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract has a total ceiling value of more than $60 million, the company said in a news release.

Under the five-year agreement, Trailer Bridge will provide all stevedoring and related terminal services associated with the import and export of Defense Transportation System sponsored and non-sponsored cargo throughout Denmark.

“This is the first single-source contract win for Trailer Bridge. It solidifies the growth of our Government Division and our newfound presence in Europe. We understand the importance of public-private partnership to support the needs of our U.S. military, and we look forward to being a trusted partner as they execute their global mission,” Trailer Bridge CEO Mitch Luciano said in a news release.

The company will partner with Scan Global Logistics, a Denmark-based full-service logistics provider, to execute task orders assigned under the contract.

“During 2023 and 2024 Trailer Bridge and Scan Global Logistics have done several successful movements of military cargo for the U.S. military. During the execution of these shipments, it became evident that our companies share the same values and working together was seamless and effective – all for the benefit of the customer. Therefore, it felt natural for both companies to work exclusively on the opportunity provided by USTRANSCOM,” Thomas Lyck, executive vice president, Scan Global Logistics Government & Defence, said in the release.

This is the third contract award Trailer Bridge has received from USTRANSCOM in 2024.

 In May, the company was included in the multi-award Port Operations and Related Transportation Services contract to provide commercial port operations and transportation services in locations outside the continental U.S.

Trailer Bridge also was included in the multi-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity Universal Services Contract-10 to provide commercial port operations and related transportation in locations outside the continental U.S. for both containerized and breakbulk cargo.
