Cotton is essential for products such as clothes, home furnishings, fishnets, medical supplies, and much more. This white fluffy crop has been at the heart of global trade since the earliest stages of civilization. In our modern world, many countries require the safe and reliable transportation of cotton and its products.

With access to 500 ports of call, a fleet of 700 vessels, and more than 600 offices worldwide, you can trust MSC to be your dedicated cotton delivery partner.
We have worked hard to upgrade our fleet capacity to meet customer demand by adding new vessels, routes, and ports of call. We are also innovating daily to provide digital solutions, such as our electronic bill of lading (eBL) which expedites delivery, reduces paper waste, and streamlines processing.
At MSC, we are also aware of cotton’s dependency on temperature and weather conditions, which often results in varying production numbers from season to season.

Our key strengths are:
- Dedicated VIP desk and specialized customer service for cotton
