F.S. MACKENZIE ADDS IMPORT SERVICE FROM DUBAI
F.S. Mackenzie has added inbound groupage service from Dubai and the Upper Gulf region, through an exclusive agency agreement with Dubai-based Consolidated Shipping Group.
The service operates weekly, from all major points in the United Arab Emirates as well as Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar to F.S. Mackenzie's main Basiildon hub. Service is available to all other points in the non-vessel-operating common carrier's United Kingdom network.
Transit times for the service are about 15 days. CSS controls cargo into Dubai, with F.S. Mackenzie providing a corresponding service on arrival from the Middle East.
CSS, which has about 130 staffers in Dubai, will move into a new purpose-built warehousing, distribution and office facility within the Jebel-Ali free zone next month.
