Freight forwarder having success on Asian intermodal route
Istanbul-based freight forwarder Advance International said that it is moving 100 TEUs weekly from China to destinations in Russia, the CIS and Europe via its intermodal 'Advantage Express Service' between Almaty in Kazakhstan and Poti in Georgia.
The service commenced two years ago to give exporters a choice of avoiding increasingly congested European ports, Advance International President and CEO Jawad Kamel said in a statement. It is particularly geared to attract cargo from central China, which is far from the seaports in the south and east of the country.
