New Export Services to Central America & the Carribean
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

More new services this month include a massive expansion for exports to the Caribbean. Maybe the Captain is angling for a trip in the near future – who knows! Also there are brand new routes to Central America. Lets hope our coffee improves as a result!
For more details on rates and services please contact Dave Ingle on 0161 492 1772
Import Container Rates
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

As most will be aware, westbound FCL rates have began to rise in earnest with the potential to keep going! We have been negotiating firmly with our network agents and suppliers and we will try to mitigate these costs wherever possible. In fact while the increases slowly begin to filter down you may even be surprised to find shipping lcl becomes more cost effective for larger shipments than if sent as FCL. Please compare your bigger shipments using our FREIGHTcalculator and select “to the UK”.

Chicago
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009
Posted in General
Famed for its status as a major hub in both industry and infrastructure, it is also the third largest city in the USA. It may not have the glitz of Hollywood but it is the birthplace of skyscrapers and the home to the world’s busiest airport. Due to recent continued growth, our Chicago service is now direct via Halifax (Nova Scotia) with a transit time of 14 days.
For further details, please contact Simon Craddock or 0161 492 1780.
West African Adventure

Our DIRECT West African services are now quicker than Ussain Bolt! (although to be fair we haven’t strictly tested this). We are changing to the new MOL service with superb transits of 9 days to Tema, Ghana and 11 days to Lagos Nigeria.
This service will commence from the beginning of September. For further details and rates please visit our website or contact our African Trade Manager Simon Hessing or call him on 0161 492 1774.
