Caribbean Shipping Services was founded in 1993 by Paul and Julie Robbins. Today they operate from their main offices in Jacksonville, FL and satellite offices in San Juan, PR, Charlotte, NC and Howell, NJ. The company has twice been named to INC Magazine’s list of 100 Fastest Growing Inner City Companies. Since 1999 they have also been included in the First Coast 50, a listing of the top fifty companies in Northeast Florida.

In January, Caribbean was presented with the prestigious Navigator Award from Frank Peake, President of Sea Star Line, one of their partners in the Puerto Rico trade lane. This prestigious award is presented to an individual or company that made a significant impact on Sea Star’s trek towards their goals and objectives. Caribbean Shipping services and Caribbean Cold Storage offer ocean, air, inland transportation and consolidation services.

In his pursuit of "cutting edge of technology", Robbins co-founded Revolutionary Cold Technologies. RCT developed and patented a new technology that reduces the cost of mechanical refrigeration for refrigerated trailers and shipping containers by as much as 35-40%. “We have been beta testing this new technology with Caribbean Shipping for 5 years and the results have been incredible” said Robbins.
