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.’

World Courier Expands Storage Capabilities in India as Clinical Trials Boom

Posted by | Jan 28, 2008 | |

In response to increasing demand from global pharmaceutical companies that conduct clinical trials in India, World Courier will almost triple the capacity of its ISO-certified, GMP-compliant investigational storage facility in Bangalore during 2008. The expansion will be undertaken in two phases, with the first phase being completed by the end of January and the second phase set to get under way in April. The facility will remain open for business throughout the construction period.

The delivery of this expanded state-of-the-art temperature-controlled structure to the international research community follows ground-breaking 2004 patent legislation governing the molecular composition of new and existing drugs. Since then, the progressive legislation – combined with the country’s widely varied and densely populated demographics – has attracted growing numbers of the pharmaceutical community to a local clinical trial market that is expected to exceed USD 1.5 billion (U.S.) in investment by 2010.

World Courier currently maintains a network of seven investigational drug storage facilities worldwide, with installations in Buenos Aires (Argentina), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Santiago (Chile), Mexico City (Mexico), Lima (Peru), Moscow (Russia) and Bangalore (India). Five new global locations are planned to come online in strategic and developing markets during 2008, increasing World Courier’s network of temperature-controlled biopharm facilities to 12 worldwide.
