Dubai Customs moves closer to paperless

Posted by | Jan 28, 2008 | |

Dubai Customs has signed memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with a number of key supply chain partners — Dnata, Danzas AEI Emirates, Al Tayer Logistics, Gargash Enterprises and Emirates Sky Cargo — to use electronic commerce to achieve paperless trading.

The initiative allows importers and exporters to electronically perform 51 Customs transactions remotely, without having to visit the Customs’ centres.

The new electronic environment allows for monitoring and tracking shipments from departure from country of origin through all destinations on their way to Dubai, and through coordination with the major shipping companies that signed the MoUs.

Ram Menen, Emirates divisional senior vice president Cargo said: “As a leading advocate of electronic freight movement, we are delighted that such a progressive program has been initiated by Dubai Customs and the Government. Such an initiative, when fully implemented, will allow a more fluid flow of legitimate goods through the air and sea borders and eliminate potential bottlenecks.’

Global Shipping & Logistics signs deal with DHL-Danzas and Master Foods

Posted by | May 8, 2007 | |

Global Shipping & Logistics (GSL), a young logistics service provider and subsidiary of Al Shirawi Group, is expecting a significant increase in its business operation following an agreement with DHL-Danzas and Master Foods.

Khalid Al Shirawi, executive director of GSL, said the company would host, manage and provide a specialised support to DHL Danzas, an innovative global freight forwarder and subsidiary of Deutsche Post World Net, the world’s leading provider of IT-supported logistics solutions covering air and ocean shipment. Al Shirawi said GSL would be in charge with the distribution of products by Master Foods, a unit responsible for sales and marketing of chocolate products by Mars Incorporated, in the UAE, other Gulf states and the entire MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region.

GSL has a Dh130 million warehousing and distribution centre at Dubai Investment Park, and installed last year one of the most hi-tech cooling systems that allows customers to monitor their food consignments on the Internet. Its facility also features racking and converters to maximise cold storage space. The complex offers a total of 20,000-tonne capacity for frozen and chilled products, with temperatures ranging from -25C to +4C.

A dozen special chambers offer storage spaces ranging from 12 sea containers to 1,500 pallets of stock. Master Foods sells various chocolate brands, including Snickers, Mars and M&M’s, Abou Siouf, Galaxy and Uncle Ben’s, to some 1.4 billion consumers worldwide. It has regional offices in Dubai, Cairo and Casablanca.

The top 10 airfreight exporters in France

Posted by | Jul 29, 2003 | |

The national association of airfreight agents in France (Snagfa) has published a list of the industry leaders based on the export turnover figures from 2002. Compared to the previous year, there were few changes in the rankings. As TFA, Transcap, Scac and GEI SDV all now operate under the SDV umbrella, the latter was therefore able to dislodge Panalpina from first place, pushing it down to second. Danzas-AEI (now trading as DHL) followed in third place. Schenker ousted Saga Air from fourth place, which fell back to No.5. Places six to ten were taken by:
Kuehne & Nagel, Geodis Overseas, Gefco, Aerofret and Menlo-Emery Air Freight in that order.
The French airfreight industry is undergoing a phase of consolidation. In 2001, the five major airfreight agencies generated only 35% of total turnover in this sector, by 2002, this figure was already up to nearly 44% and the upwards trend is continuing.
The market leader SDV dispatched approximately 200,000 t of airfreight in 2002. Around 38% of its EUR 1.8 billion revenue stemmed from airfreight business. In the pan-European rankings, SDV occupies fifth place.
