China continues to feature high on 2010 agenda

As independent consolidator for the freight industry, CFR Freight, looks ahead to a positive 2010, the Far East continues to feature high on its agenda. “We currently have direct services from eight ports in China,” managing director Martin Keck told FTW, “while US volumes are also showing a steady upward spiral.” An encouraging development has been the growth in business from global accounts. “Through our membership of the Worldwide Alliance, we have managed to sign up significant portions of the consolidation business of multinational freight forwarders,” says Keck. “Being able to offer a global solution by creating the Worldwide Alliance is paying off. The trend of multinationals making use of the swiftly growing number of services by means of outsourcing is growing and this is equally evident in South Africa,” he said.
