Cairo Freight Systems, a Coop member in Cairo, Egypt, has successfully secured a significant new contract to export approximately 120 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) of foodstuffs monthly from Alexandria sea port to various destinations in Europe and the USA.

“We are proud to have gained this business after a long period of persistence and hard work,” said Mayada Nayef, Manager at Cairo Freight Systems. Additionally, the new contract is set to have a substantial impact on the company, promising increased turnover, profitability, and enhanced reputation. “This is a big business project for us, and we expect it to significantly boost our company’s profile and financial health,” Nayef added.

The commodities to be exported under this contract include frozen artichokes, vine leaves, and potatoes. These foodstuffs will be shipped to prominent destinations such as Genoa, Le Havre, Los Angeles, and New York, among other major ports in Europe and the USA. The company has ensured that measures are in place to maintain the quality and safety of these food products during transit. “The exporter will make insurance arrangements to cover the quality and safety of the shipments,” noted Nayef.

One of the primary challenges anticipated in this venture is the availability of reefer equipment, which is essential for transporting perishable goods. However, Cairo Freight Systems is committed to addressing this issue to meet their clients’ needs efficiently. This contract represents a significant step forward for Cairo Freight Systems, reinforcing their position in the logistics industry and showcasing their capability to handle large-scale export operations.

Congratulations to Cairo Freight for securing this important project and best of luck with their future endeavours!

Acconage Consignation Transit SA (ACT SA), a Coop member in Nouakchott, Mauritania, has handled the movement of a sea freight for the mining industry. The cargo was transported from Boke Port, Guinea, to Nouakchott Port, Mauritania on an MV Orient Pluto vessel. The shipment comprised of 168 Units of trucks, trailers, military equipment, excavators, and other rolling materials. It was destined for the mining industry particularly for the offshore gas field rocks transportation for BP Tortue.

They didn’t require any special equipment for the delivery of this cargo. According to Mr. Khalil Chouaib, from ACT, “We flawlessly executed several aspects of the shipment including offloading cargo from the vessel. We were also responsible for taking the cargo from under hook, lashing and warehousing. Moreover, our team did the customs clearance and trucking to the delivery site 60 Km from Nouakchott port.”

“We were in charge of the full logistic chain from vessel arrival until the final delivery of 168 units. The most demanding part of this project was that we had to ensure that the 168 units were delivered in intact condition. This also included the spare parts loaded inside some units. ThisĀ  shipment was not really challenging for our expert team. However, the sheer volume and diverse nature of the cargo made it slightly complicated,” adds Mr. Chouaib.

Congratulations to ACT, and wishing them the best for the future!
