Our freight forwarding processes handle the shipment of your goods with total transparency and efficiency, by utilising the most effective transport modes based on the confirmed geographic destination of the delivery. The transportation of shipment will also be determined based on established commercial routes and frequent departures, and often by charter, valuing different offers and choosing the better route that optimises speed, cost, and reliability (considering all variables at hand). These methods of transportation can include road freight, rail freight, sea freight, and air freight, from the initial request for shipment and collection, down to customs clearance, unpacking and preparation of delivery, and final mile delivery (as illustrated).
