This service was launched as an alternative to the congested ports and routes in Northern and Western Europe.
(PressBox/Hamburg) The pressure on international supply chains is increasing. Delays and capacity shortages in the major seaports of Northern Europe are making timely supply to the industry more difficult. For this reason, a. hartrodt italiana is now offering a ‘Multi Destination Consolidation’ service between Shanghai and Genoa, specifically aimed at importers in southern Germany, Switzerland, France, and the Mediterranean region. Since the transit time from Shanghai to Genoa is significantly shorter than to the Northern European ports, the transported goods reach their destination much faster and more reliably.
In Genoa within 30 days
The service starts at the ports of Ningbo or Shanghai and arrives in Genoa within 30 days. a. hartrodt italiana takes care of the deconsolidation and customs clearance. For this purpose, the company has established an authorized customs location near the port. From there, the goods can be quickly transported to any location in the Mediterranean region. Even for France, Switzerland, and southern Germany, the transit times are so short that they still offer a significant time advantage, especially due to the current waiting times in the western ports. The ‘Multi Destination Consolidation’ service is suitable for all types of goods except for hazardous materials and temperature-controlled items, says Maurizio Fasce, Regional Director Mediterranean & Southern Africa Headquarters of a. hartrodt: “This provides an alternative to the congested hubs in Northern and Western Europe, especially in difficult times. Our offer is particularly interesting for all companies that want to import goods from China in consolidated freight that are not time-critical. This is especially true for smaller forwarders without their own international network.” a. hartrodt italiana was founded in 1959 and serves the Mediterranean region, including North Africa, with its locations in Genoa, Milan, and Cagliari. The company is IATA and AEO certified as well as a certified regulated agent.
