Today’s network economy opens up new opportunities and chances also for small and medium-sized businesses – opportunities which used to be the domain of major transnational players only a few years ago: the rapid access to faraway foreign markets. But the first input that has to come from SMBs is to overcome real obstacles and mental barriers. This, in turn, requires a logistics partner such as Five Star Logistics® by General Transport who operates as general contractor to remove export obstacles and hurdles and so paves the way for the client to enter the market.
Brief report
The networking of the markets and the resulting toughening of the competition forces enterprises to focus more drastically on their core business in buying in and selling, at the same time cutting fixed costs and capital tie-up.
This is where General Transport offers its professional Five Star Logistics® model which goes far beyond the conventional forwarder’s services. Among the basic services for ocean freight import and export are:
- worldwide LCL and full container services,
- conventional shipments,
- sea/air services,
- industrial project logistics services,
- affreightments,
- cargo checks,
- import and export customs clearance and
- transport insurance.
General Transport’s special expertise also includes Crosstrade, i.e. handling transit or third country transactions where the shipments are from case to case neutralized, cleared for transit and controlled and monitored right to their final destination.
