Greenshields is highly specialized for deliveries to the difficult destinations to reach.
Difficulties as final address or sites are in the regions and areas not easy to reach because of weak or lack facilities, conflicts, disasters. For those reasons transportation services, custom clearances and basically logistics services are not definitely smooth.
We are carrying out shipments from Brazil, India, China for cross trades between these countries thru our own JV or the exlusive
partnerships agreed locally. The shipments are also handled for the above mentioned countries to Africa and Persian Gulf
as well as Europe. They are mostly oversize cargo shipments to be moved by special equipments like flat rack and open
top. Even roro and break bulk services are often involved for movements.
The transport documents like BL, for instance, are issued in accordance with the italian and european rules.
We are used to offer the above mentioned multimodal services for goods destined to destinations are difficult to reach
and/or whereas the airfreight rates are very expensive. In such a case the transportation services are planned even by
vessel, truck or rail, further to the aircraft. Thus the relevant freight rates are much cheaper than usual airfreight only.
The delivery times are not so much longer than pure airfreight partly because the airfreight only is managed and handled
by the carriers who often don’t meet the expectations advised at the time of booking both for direct service and especially for
transhipments. In fact,often, the transhipments are not arranged in accordance with the flight plans and goods arrive later
than expected.
The destinations to where we are mostly used to offer such services are the south east Asia, sub indian continent, Central Asia.
Goods origin not only from Europe as several consignments are cross trades.
The awb is released by us according to the italian and EU rules.
