Freight forwarding and logistics company Leschaco is poised for business growth, predicting a positive outlook for its operations in Durban and Richards Bay. With a team of dedicated professionals, Leschaco offers a diverse range of freight forwarding services, specialising in breakbulk and roll-on/roll-off cargo handling for the mining and agriculture sectors.According to Simon Chalker, KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape regional manager, the company has established a solid footprint in Durban and Richards Bay with strong relationships with Transnet, various shipping agencies, and key stakeholders contributing to its success in overcoming challenges and ensuring efficient operations."Our operations in Durban and Richards Bay rely heavily on our extensive network and partnerships to navigate complexities effectively," he said. "By investing in building strong relationships with industry players, including port operators, stevedores, and customs authorities, we have managed to minimise delays and streamline loading and transport processes."He added that one of the key factors contributing to Leschaco's success was the commitment to employing highly specialised professionals with in-depth knowledge of their respective fields. “The company places great importance on communication and continuous discussions with clients and customers and maintains a 24/7 operation. "Our emphasis is on meticulous preplanning, which enables us to stay one step ahead of the industry's requirements, particularly for breakbulk, out-of-gauge, and project cargo."Chalker said that growing its Durban and Richards Bay footprint remained a key priority for the business. "The increasing volumes of heavy equipment and project cargo, some of which requires the capacity of Richards Bay due to space limitations in Durban, contribute to our positive outlook.”
