Our 40-person staff manages over 2,400 clients: from customs documentation for the commercial and industrial area of Marghera, Italy, to the resolution of unexpected issues as they arise.

Everything that comes through the Port of Marghera comes through SDC, just as it has for over forty years.

Even if a voyage lasts only a few hours, nothing should be left to chance. SDC oversees all loading procedures on behalf of shipping companies, airlines and shipowners. SDC’s customs experts will be sure to find the right transportation and shipment solution for you, even under a tight deadline and with special requirements.

Does your shipment require special protections or a precise temperature or humidity level? The experts at SDC have you covered.

It is no accident that over 80% of all passenger vessel traffic in Venice is now managed by SDC.
Our experience and pioneering role in the industry go back to the 1950s, when we were a ship agent. Many years have passed since then, going from the first luxury ships to the popularity of cruises, no matter the size of the traveller’s pocketbook or the season. Today, SDC manages dozens of passenger ships from around the globe each week.

Complete all your customs paperwork without having to stop by the customs house. The CAD 2000 customs service centre is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer your questions and help you with customs procedures. SDC manages about 15 third-party warehouses at the port of Venice and, as an industry leader and expert, we also find solutions to new problems as they arise, establishing safe procedures that have been legally and administratively verified while fully respecting our clients’ wishes.
