THE LOGISTICS OF CERTAINTY

In 1897, John Carlbom, the great-grandfather of our current chairman, founded John Carlbom & Co to safeguard the interests of ship owners, charterers and cargo parties trading to the Humber. Over 125 years later and Carlbom Shipping Ltd has become Pentagon Marine Ltd, part of the Pentagon family and is still looking after the interests of vessels and cargo owners using the River Humber and all ports along the east coast of the UK.
