A company that is involved
in the movement of
project cargo has to have
an established reputation in that
specialised business if it is to be
successful, according to Gerald
Naidu, sales manager of SA
Inland Logistics (SAIL).
“This is something that we have
achieved,” he told FTW, “from
the experience of handling various
types of project cargo over the
years. Customers now come to
us when they are looking for a
company skilled in the movement
of intricate cargoes – by sea, road
and rail.”
The company has a fleet of
long-distance trucks at its disposal
for abnormal and overweight
cargoes – with all of the trucks
and trailers fitted with satellite
tracking devices.
“We have our staff monitoring
the traffic real-time, and we are
able to support the customers with
live tracking 24/7. For abnormal
loads, our team provides clients
with updated tracking reports
from the time containers are
stacked until empty turn-in – and
we can also arrange movement
of cargo to Zambia, Swaziland,
Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Gaborone
and the DRC.”
Immediacy is another offering,
with SAIL’s 3 000-sqm warehouse
conveniently situated on South
Coast Road, Mobeni, very close to
the Port of Durban.
“We also have our own rail
account with Transnet Freight
Rail (TFR) and concentrate on
the movement of containerised
project traffic throughout SA and
the neighboring countries.
And Naidu also noted that the
containerised movement of project
cargo was now growing rapidly.
