Dubai: Empost, the UAE's national courier company, yesterday announced the launch of its cargo and logistics service offering air, land and sea freight operations through its logistics division.

This service will enable Empost to expand into a higher degree of customer services and will help to improve the level of its proficiency.

Sultan Al Midfa, Chief Executive of Empost, said: "The new cargo and logistics service will provide Empost customers with regional and global transportation networks, specifically tailored to their requirements to offer reliable, prompt, secure, efficient and profitable solutions.

Global solution

"We are aiming to offer a comprehensive global supply chain solution that will reduce costs, improve customer service, reduce inventory investments and speed up product delivery."

The portfolio of services offered by the land, air and sea freight division includes flexible international land options from standard to expedited services; door-to-door and airport-to-airport forwarding; sea-to-air and air-to-air transshipments; customs clearance; warehouse and distribution; and land transportation within UAE and around the world.

Empost's sea freight service operates in association with a variety of global ocean freight and transportation providers and is designed to combine the economies of ocean freight with the speed of air freight. The service can handle any shipment size, such as full container loads, to less than container load, special equipment and oversized cargo, with the additional guarantee of personal cargo monitoring until the freight's arrival at the desired destination.

The air, land and sea logistics services will facilitate communication by sourcing all incoming and outgoing logistical needs through one point of contact on a 24/7 basis.
