The Green Office program, a savings and improvement program for offices, comes into prominence as a part of the strategic approach of the WWF to reduce human pressure and ecological footprint on natural resources. The program provides participating companies with the opportunity to evaluate their office resources systematically, identify their savings criteria and develop their own environmental management systems. The awarding of this diploma to CQR Turkey breaks new ground in our industry; they are the first such company to receive it.
“We are thrilled to be declared a Green Office. For a long time now, we have been concerned with the environment and our own impact on it which is why we plan and implement improvements with respect to the savings on waste management, electricity consumption and paper consumption. We also believe that we should educate our staff in such matters as well,” explained Agent Coordinator, Devrim Koray.
Conqueror would like to congratulate Ekol on this recognition!
The delay of even one package would have caused hundreds of thousands euros loss to their client. In order to meet the short deadline, the team was available around the clock picking up the packages from their factory even; yes, even during the night.
The team was very flexible and used different solutions in order to deliver the shipments on time – on board courier, charter flights, next flight out emergency service, prepaid capacity of the airlines, dedicated couriers for pick-ups and deliveries, exclusive support of ground handling agents to ensure handling during the night, etc. Thanks to their good business relations with the carriers and the airlines, as well as their proven record in the three point traffic, none of the shipments was delayed.
“The client was satisfied by our services and we managed to establish good long term business relations with him,” said Adriana Damianova, Director Business Development, she continued, “we would invite any members with urgent cargo who are looking for a reliable partner who is attentive to details and will deliver in a timely manner, to get in touch with us. Due to our experience and knowhow, we can support you with solutions for triangle shipments also. We are available 24/7 and will find the best solution for you because we just take it personally.”
During the year 2013, Trans Air Cargo organised the shipping of around 200 horses between Bangkok and Europe/USA and also within Asia.
Their latest horse shipment was in January this year and consisted of 3 horses being shipped from Bangkok to France via Luxembourg on CV. The customer was the Chairman of the Endurance Horse Riding Club Thailand who was going to attend a competition in France.
The team loaded the horses into a soft-floor horse box and provided feed and water during transportation. “We have many years of experience in handling horse shipments, and the continued customer satisfaction is helping to build our reputation and now the challenge is increasing our customer base,” explained Kantorn, Overseas and Projects Manager.
Their portfolio includes ‘regular’ animals, cats, dogs and snakes but also some more unusual ones. On one occasion, the team were asked to ship a consignment of pure line poultry Hatching Eggs to Australia, which was originally stopped by UK Customs who couldn’t believe the value of the shipment, £2,000,000!.
“This has not only added a new elevation in corporation standards but also caused new altitudes in company ethics, morals, ideals and principles which all collectively has led the corporation and its workforce to operate with an ever greater professional touch; delivering confidence and assurance in each individual shipment accomplished,” said Director Raj Nair.
In addition to enjoying this success, Seagull Logistic Services LLC is also celebrating its 4th anniversary. Since its humble beginnings, they have successfully overcome the competition and established themselves as a market leader in the city of Muscat. “The future is looking bright for us as we aim for new heights in customer service, business expansion and staff welfare,” said Raj Nair.
Conqueror would like to congratulate the team on their successes!
“This is a significant moment for the network. With only 1/10 applications’ passing our external audit, the process of finding the best companies is not as easy as it may sound,” explained an official of the Network. “However, it is crucial to our long-term stability and success.”
There were a couple of challenges for the team with this shipment. In order for the CAT 775E to board the Ro Ro vessel, the height of the vehicle had to be reduced by 30cm which meant the team had to discharge the nitrogen from the shock-absorbers. In addition, all documentation was prepared with special attention as payment was under letter of credit, no room for errors.
Joh. C. Henschen (GmbH&Co.KG), founded in 1849 is specialized in oversized and overweight cargo and all cargo which need special attention during, before or after shipping. Its experienced team ensured a smooth delivery of the machine.
