Tropical Shipping made its maiden voyage to Freeport in 1963, with its landing craft the MV Tropic Ace, carrying machinery and building supplies. Today, Tropical operates ships from Canada and South Florida to The Bahamas and Caribbean, as well as providing inter-island transportation services throughout the region. Our customers transport everything imaginable – and we handle it all, from small packages to millions of tons of grocery products and building materials.
Tropical Shipping’s relationship with our Caribbean and Bahamian neighbors is deep and lasting, built on leadership, trust, responsiveness and good corporate citizenship.
Everything Tropical Shipping does, every value we stand for, every course of action we take, is intended to deliver the highest level of service to our customers. From booking cargo and cargo tracking to delivering cargo on time, we are focused on reliability and on doing what we say.
We’re passionate about water gardening and would love to share our story with you. Learn how Aquascape started from a 12-year old boy’s hobby and developed into an award-winning, multi-million dollar company. From our quality water gardening products to a LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified building, Aquascape plays an integral role in the world to enhance the environment and beautify landscapes across North America.
Aquascape is proud to announce that St. Charles, Ill., home to Aquascape's main headquarters, Aqualand, adopted the title of Water Garden Capital of the World. The move came after the city counsel approved the idea proposed by Ed Beaulieu, vice president of field research and contractor development.
