Expanded warehouse facilitates space growth

Having managed to
remain competitive
under tough global
and regional economic
conditions, CFR Freight’s
Durban branch is focused on
stronger internal and external
relationships to further its
growth in the KwaZulu Natal
region.
“Durban is the main hub for
less than container load (LCL)
import and export business in
South Africa and we continue
to work very closely with the
shipping lines in order to
maintain our varied services,”
said CFR seafreight branch
manager for Durban, Liza
Allan.
She added that CFR was
also working closely with the
WorldWide Alliance (WWA)
agency network in order to offer as
many direct sailings as possible.
“We have room for further
growth since our container freight
station (CFR),
ZacPak, has
expanded its
warehousing
space by
a further
4 000sqm to
accommodate
additional
customer
demand,” said
Allan.
ZacPak
managing
director, Clive
Nel, pointed out that the total
warehouse capacity now stood
at 44 000 sqm, with 17 000 sqm
under roof.
“We are reaching the kind
of business volumes we could
never have dreamed of at our
inception some five years ago,”
he said.
According
to Nel,
CFR and
ZacPak have
strengthened
ties to ensure
their internal
and external
growth
strategies are
aligned.
“Internal
growth and
development
is a huge focus this year with
further staff training and
development programmes,”
added Allan.
