“This is a value-added service we offer our customers who don’t operate their own warehouse facilities, and who choose to use our 3PL D.G handling services as a distribution arm of their own operations” says Paul Petrovski, Managing Director.

However, this is not an easy task that just any agent can handle, it requires professionalism and especially attentive service. “We need to follow strict guidelines for labelling and documentation in accordance with Australian and international standards. Regulatory audits are conducted on a quarterly basis to ensure compliance across all of our designated categories”, Paul Petrovski adds.

PCFS hold stock on a daily basis for their customers, one such stock being pool chlorine. Held as overflow for their client’s warehouse, the chlorine is class 5.1 and packaged in 10kg pails, at approximately 78 – 80 pails per pallet. An especially large volume of the product is stored coming into spring/summer, as you might expect.

We would like to congratulate YOYO Global Freight, as a 3 time winner of the Gazelle Award.international logistics

YOYO has been awarded Gazelle recognition in 2014, 2015 and 2016 and they are well on their way to qualifying for a fourth year in a row. A big congratulations to the team!

 MEA CARGO, GLB Chicago, recently teamed up with Non-Profit organization Pizzas4Patriots to deliver 1,400 pizzas to deployed troops in Afghanistan and Kandahar in time for this year’s 4th July.

GLB Port Klang gets creative

Our GLB agent in Port Klang recently handled the ex-work shipment of a boiler from Port Klang to Semarang, but this shipment turned out to be more challenging than initially expected.

Famor Malaysia Sdn Bhd managed the loading, lashing and securing for this buyer consolidated ex-work shipment (3 shippers & 1 buyer). However, after packing the cargo, the boiler machine was 8ft 8inches in height, which resulted in over height. Their client did not want the additional cost of an open top 40′, so Famor Malaysia Sdn Bhd had to be creative and came up with the solution of cutting a portion of the top of the container to accommodate the cargo.
