In Focus
As the world has become smaller, supply chains have become more complex. Manufacturing hubs are located far from the retail locations, but goods still need to be delivered at lightning fast speed. What businesses really need is a reliable partner like Allcargo Logistics to ship cargo around the world, with complete safety and transparency.
For businesses looking to expand their horizons, what matters is not just global reach but also a global logistics services provider capable of moving diverse types of cargo including even Dangerous Goods (DG) cargo or Over-Dimensional Cargo (ODC). Exactly where Allcargo steps in with NVOCC services that span 180 countries, 2400 direct trade lanes and door-to-door services in over 50 global markets as well as pan-India, multi-city consolidation and transhipment services at Mumbai and Chennai.
Smoothening EXIM movements
The geography of north India is marked with manufacturing hubs such as Delhi, Ludhiana, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Moradabad, Haridwar, Sidcul, Kanpur, Agra, Badohi and Baddi and others who export their wares: automotive goods, agricultural items, handicrafts, furniture, rugs and carpets, pharmaceuticals, engineering goods, and saddlery goods among others. Most of these items find a market in far off places such as Europe, USA, Latin America, South America, China and the Gulf countries, while goods such as fabrics, laminates, auto parts, and trading items find their way to India for consumption.
Irrespective of whether businesses export or import they prefer the convenience of end-to-end movements and single-window solutions for their cargo. It gives them the freedom to focus on their business while experts at Allcargo take on the logistics with LCL, FCL, domestic and international air freight services, and a variety of value-added services along with first and last mile deliveries.
Some of the key export trade lanes from north India are Europe and Mediterranean ports; the East and West Coast of the USA; the Far East – Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Busan, Jakarta, Port Klang, and Bangkok; South Africa; East Africa – Mombasa/Dar es Salam, the Gulf countries – Jebel Ali and Hamad; the Nordic countries – Gothenburg, and Helsinki; Latin America; South America; ISC – Colombo, Chittagong; West Africa – Lagos and Tema; and Canada – Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. While for imports, Hamburg, Antwerp, and Genoa to Delhi are the important trade lanes.
A significant advantage Allcargo offers is having offices at the origin and destination countries that helps create unmatched synergies and reduce the complexity of global cargo shipments.
Moreover, businesses also benefit from services to major ICDs in north India as such as ICD TKD, ICD Dadri, ICD Garhi, ICD Patli, ICD ACTL, Moradabad, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Ludhiana, DICT, Panipat/Samalkha, Pant Nagar, along with multi-city consolidation ex ICD TKD, ICD LDH and ICD Dadri to Nhava Sheva, as well as movements ex Nhava Sheva and Chennai to ICD PPG/TKD/Garhi/Dadri and Ludhiana.
