Beating the clock
This furniture importer presented the Global Forwarding sea freight team with a real challenge: Complete port to port movement, five days faster than the vessel’s schedule.
From Qingdao to Felixstowe, the vessel’s transit was scheduled to be 33 days, but the client could not accept a transit of more than 28 days.
After consulting with colleagues in China, a solution was found.
Arranging early loading collection with the Qingdao vendor, containers would be trucked to Shanghai, where they would be combined with additional containers from a local supplier, and loaded to the same vessel, departing for the UK with a 28 day transit.
At destination the customs entry was pre-lodged and hauliers pre-booked, so that the containers cleared customs, as the vessel berthed and delivered within the target time frame.
