Kevin,

I have clients in the personal house goods relocation shipping business 
and major host-national travel agencies.  With your permission, I'd like 
to forward your full message to a couple of problem solvers to see if 
anyone can help you with booking cabin space on freighters.  Can they 
respond to you at the mail address you've asked this question from?

No promises.
