Trinity Shipping team
Who We Are

Three Generations of Doing It Right

Trinity Shipping Company was founded in 1977 as Quick Line Corporation in New York City. What started as a domestic freight operation has grown into a specialized international logistics company with deep expertise across all European wine-producing regions — France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Romania — along with FDA-regulated commodities and bidirectional global trade.

Now headquartered in Wilmington, NC, and in its third generation of family ownership, Trinity has built its reputation not on volume, but on service. We are a boutique operation by design — intentionally high-touch, intentionally communicative, and intentionally accountable. We're not big — we're nimble. When the big forwarders won't pick up, we will.

We are a handling and expediting partner. We don't try to replace the forwarders, importers, or boutique operators we work with — we enhance their operations. We specialize in execution, visibility, and problem-solving on the ground so our partners can focus on growing their business.

What We Stand For

What We Sell

01

Execution

Not just capacity. We manage every detail from origin to final delivery — no dropped balls, no surprises, no excuses.

02

Communication

You'll always know where your shipment stands. Dedicated account managers, real-time updates, and direct lines of contact.

03

Accountability

When challenges arise — and in freight, they do — we own the solution. Three generations of reputation on the line with every shipment.

Our Philosophy

A Partner, Not a Competitor

When we're on calls with forwarders, importers, or other boutique companies, we present a consistent message: we are not trying to replace anyone.

Trinity is a handling and expediting partner that enhances your operation. We specialize in execution, visibility, and problem-solving on the ground — the things that are hard to scale and easy to get wrong.

Our model is commodity-agnostic and service-driven. We lead with our credibility in wine and European imports, then expand naturally into adjacent lanes where our service model fits: spirits, specialty foods, luxury retail, and beyond.

Same lanes. Same relationships. Broader capability.
