AEL Berkman Forwarding offers fast transit time and cost savings on China-Australia consol service
AEL
Berkman Forwarding offers customers the promise of a
fast transit time and cost savings on its weekly China-Australia
consolidation service, serving the east coast hubs of
Sydney and Melbourne.
The consolidation service
includes calls at the ports of Shanghai, Hong Kong and
Shenzhen in China before heading onward to the Australian
east coast, AEL Berkman Forwarding's Shanghai general
manager, Wim Andriessen said.
The service is
but one of the many offerings the company has as part
of its diverse portfolio out of China, where it has
been operating for over 25 years.
Consolidation
services have been a major part of the company's operational
focus in recent years as it looks to help clients cut
back on costs, particularly within China.
AEL
Berkman has a team dedicated to finding these cost saving
opportunities through consolidating less than container
load (LCL) shipments throughout China.
"We
want to make sure that we do not miss out on any of
these opportunities, which can really save our customers
a lot of money," Mr Andriessen said.
And
cost savings is the name of the game today, as operating
costs continue to climb in the current market environment.
AEL
Berkman Forwarding's consolidation service not only
aims to minimise costs, but also removes the stress
of having to search for ways to reduce costs, thus allowing
the customer to focus its efforts on its own core business.
"We
take care of the whole order process with the factories
here in China. We check the goods to see when they are
ready. We look at how to combine these shipments and
which provinces it makes sense to combine. We look at
what we need to do to ensure the best economic result
for our client as possible.
"And that is
something that our clients appreciate very much,"
Mr Andriessen said.
AEL Berkman also offers customers
shipping goods from China to Australia an Air-Sea option
and door to door service. The company is also an expert
in the handling of hanging garment, reefer and heavy
cargo shipments.
