Cargo group urges ‘realistic TSA solutions for US’s security issues’
Cargo group urges ‘realistic TSA solutions for US’s security issues’
THE FREIGHT industry and governments have been given three challenges for change — to implement e-freight by 2010; to harmonise risk-based security measures globally; and to take a balanced and realistic approach to the issue of the environment.
THE INTERNATIONAL Federation of Freight Forwarder Associations (FIATA) says the freight forwarding industry is concerned that an increasing number of rules and regulations regarding security for cargo transportation are being implemented by various countries and/or regulating bodies, without regard for global harmonisation.
LUFTHANSA Cargo’s chief has warned that the airline could be battling to survive unless the go ahead is given for night flights at Frankfurt airport.
THE FIRST stage of a new US-EU agreement, which will establish an ‘Open Skies Plus’ framework between the United States and all 27 EU member states is expected to be signed on April 30.
THE HEAD of Dubai Logistics City (DLC) says the increasing number of global mail-express alliances is a key driver in the Gulf’s logistics industry growth.
SCHENKER has launched a range of new services for Trans Tasman importers and exporters.
AS with most Customs services these days, Singapore Customs has long maintained a regularly-updated website which is of value to forwarders, shippers and other users. The site has recently undergone a major make-over to blows away some of the bureaucratic cobwebs that previously characterised the site.
