Great Master Logistics delivers full railway service to Europe

COOP member in Ningbo which has been providing FCL service to Europe for the last three years has currently expanded to LCL

 
Great Master Logistics team, Coop member in Ningbo, has started offering weekly railway consol service from Wuhan to Mala and from Chengdu to Warsaw under the ‘Belt and Road’ Initiative. They joined this program two years ago when they started providing their clients with FCL service.
 
The Sino-Euro Rail service has enabled the containers to travel overland from the supplier’s cargo railway station to the buyer’s cargo railway station, crossing Russian and Central Asian territories within a reasonable transit time and at a competitive price.
 
According to Vanilla Xu, the Manager of Overseas Development Department, the benefits of the Railway Service are much superior to that of ocean and air freight services: “The order delivery time is much-reduced thanks to the lesser transit time. Now we are able to save the logistics and capital cost from inventory and even change the final destination during transit. Moreover, it involves a lower risk of damage to shipments due to minimum shifting between modes of transport. The unit transportation cost is considerably lower and CO2 emission is also reduced”.
 
The Belt and Road Initiative developed by the Chinese Government, which aims to bridge the infrastructural gap within Central Asia and beyond, is becoming popular by the day. In the last three years, the focus has been primarily on investments in infrastructure, automobile, materials of construction, railways, roadways, power grids and iron and steel.
 
The Silk Road Economic Belt would comprise of all the countries located on the original Silk Road which passes through West and Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe. The BRI is expected to integrate this region into a unified economic zone which would be achieved by the creation of infrastructure, enhancement of cultural exchanges and expansion of trade.

Neon Freight successfully transports 40 Ft T-Rex model from Germany to China

Life-sized model of T-Rex was shipped by our Coop member in Manchester, UK, from Germany to China

Neon Freight, a Coop member in Manchester, successfully handled the shipment of a life-sized model of T-Rex dinosaur from Germany to China. This model was first shipped from Germany to Everything Dinosaur in Marthall, Cheshire and was later transported to the Peking Natural Science Organisation (PNSO) in Beijing, China.

This was a Herculean task Neon Freight accomplished with aplomb, since the model was quite valuable and huge. They had to arrange for 40ft container for the sea freight to China.

Neon Freight is a 5 year old, privately owned logistics company in Cheshire. Ian Mallon who owns the company,has over 20 years of logistics and freight forwarding experiences . He has also been a lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University on International Trade and Logistics.

Regarding the dinosaur model transport, he said, “It’s an honour to be trusted with this unique, bespoke life-sized model worth tens of thousands of dollars. It’s so enormous; we’ve had to arrange a 40ft container to sea freight the T-Rex to China.” He continues, “I first met Mike from Everything Dinosaur at the South Cheshire Chamber of Commerce, and things have developed from there. We pride ourselves on great relationships with our customers. We are a small but efficient team, and our expertise helps our clients manage a range of goods from potato cleaners to hazardous chemicals for water treatment all over the world and now we even transport dinosaurs!”

Mike Walley, the owner of Everything Dinosaur, is quite happy with the whole project and stated, “This is a fantastic opportunity on many levels. We are privileged to be trusted by the PNSO and hope to bring more dinosaurs to Cheshire from their range of models.” Speaking about Neon Freight, Mike added, “Working with Neon Freight has been a great experience. Ian and his team have delivered an exceptional job, and we know we are safe in their hands with our extremely valued T-Rex. We hope this is the beginning of a long-term business partnership”.;

We applaud Neon Freight for their great achievement!
