Osborne Clarke advises cargo.one on acquisition of Cargofive. Published on 5th March 2026 Osborne Clarke has provided legal advice to the logistics technology company cargo.one on the acquisition of the ocean rate platform Cargofive. With the acquisition of Cargofive and the parallel capital increase, cargo.one is further strengthening its position as a leading AI infrastructure partner for multimodal logistics. cargo.one is a technology provider specialising in artificial intelligence for the logistics sector. With the acquisition of Portugal-based Cargofive, the company has expanded its existing air rate infrastructure to include comprehensive ocean rate data, thereby creating the basis for a fully multimodal rate database. Cargofive has integrations with the top 10 ocean carriers as well as scalable processes for capturing and processing sea freight rates across more than four million trade lanes, which are used by freight forwarders worldwide. Based on this integrated air and ocean rate infrastructure, cargo.one has simultaneously launched a natively AI-based operating system for multimodal logistics. The platform consolidates structured operational data and AI-supported, agent-based workflows in a single system in which teams and AI agents work on the same data foundation. This allows freight forwarders and carriers to automate end-to-end processes - for example in rate management, quotation, booking and customer support - within a central system, without having to rely on fragmented stand-alone solutions and separate data sources. cargo.one is leveraging its position as a central infrastructure layer for AI transformation in global logistics and addressing one of the industry's key challenges: the productive use of AI based on consistent, structured data in large-scale corporate environments. "The acquisition of Cargofive is an important milestone in cargo.one's development towards a natively AI-based operating system for multimodal logistics," says Robin Eyben, Partner at Osborne Clarke. "The transaction highlights how leading logistics and technology companies are aligning themselves to embed AI not as an isolated tool, but as an integral part of their core infrastructure." Comprehensive advice on corporate and contractual aspects of the acquisition Osborne Clarke provided cargo.one with comprehensive advice on the corporate and contractual aspects of the acquisition of Cargofive. The advice included, among other things, structuring the transaction, negotiating the purchase and investment documentation, and coordinating cross-border aspects in the technology and logistics context. The Osborne Clarke team consisted of Alexandra Nautsch (lead), Robin Eyben (Partner responsible) and Dana Alpar (all Corporate / M&A / Venture Capital).
