Our range of tailor made services and offerings ensure that your logistical and supply chain needs are met.
- We offer transparent and efficient fruit logistics and supply chain management.
- We provide alternative channels and customised solutions for the global fresh produce market.
- Our services are backed by experienced, service-orientated staff and a centralised contact.
- Flexible warehousing and storage options are available in all ports. Handling and distribution is monitored by on-site personnel.
- We monitor and ensure compliance to handling protocols for special markets, such as Japan, China and the USA.
- On conventional shipments, we plan and control the movement of cargo to mitigate exposures to demurrage and dead freight.
- Similarly container shipments require planning, monitoring and control of the booking, delivery and movement of containers to ship cargo as instructed.
- Meticulous about clearing and forwarding, our in-house service generates and couriers the necessary documentation to clear cargo at destination. We provide the necessary documents to enable consignees to claim applicable duty discounts.
- Our logistical information service is fully integrated with service providers. We offer full supply chain visibility, including daily intake and stock and shipping information within 48 hours of sailing.
- Included in The Fresh Chain’s financial services are flexible payment and currency options, cost management at supplier level and marine insurance. The Fresh chain is an approved financial service provider; FSP number 27069.
- We enable primary suppliers to interface directly with the market. There’s no pooling or averaging of costs between clients.
- Clients are in full control of the flow of cargo - especially decisions on vessel space bookings. Thus we empower clients to optimise their supply chains in accordance with supply and demand requirements.
