West & East LLC is a small, owner-led import and export company. Our focus is boats and marine equipment. We are based in California with a second office in Tripoli, Libya.
West & East LLC was founded in 2017. We do one thing well: we move marine equipment, vehicles, and machinery between the United States and the Mediterranean. Most of our work goes to Libya. Our second office is in Tripoli.
Our work is hands-on. The owner is an engineer. We read the specifications. We speak with the supplier. We handle every document. We make sure the goods clear customs on the other side.
Our company is small by choice. We only take projects we can manage ourselves from start to finish. If a project is not a good fit for us, we will tell you.
We offer four services. Most projects use more than one. For example, a marine equipment order usually needs sourcing, inspection, ocean shipping, and customs clearance. We handle all of these. One team. One price.
Our main route is from the United States to Libya, by sea. We have also worked on air cargo routes between Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. We work on other routes when our clients need them. Please contact us if you need a different route.
