ASF puts Airstream trailers en route to Australia

· Thursday, October 17, 2013

   Third party logistics provider ASF Logistics recently entered an agreement with Australia-based A&A Industries to oversee the transportation management of Airstream travel trailers from the Port of Baltimore to Australia’s Port Kembla.
   “With our Atlantic Coast and Australian presence, along with significant experience working with specialized cargo including recreational vehicles, ASF is uniquely situated to coordinate this significant product movement of Airstream travel trailers,” said ASF Logistics President Steve Chard in a statement.
   Shipments started in August and will run through December for the current inventory; movement of Airstreams from Maryland to Australia can take 36–45 days.
   Based in Batemans Bay on New South Wales’s south coast, A&A Industries was granted the exclusive Australian and New Zealand rights to market and distribute Airstream’s trailers.
