Schenker Australia Pty Ltd and Schenker New
Zealand Ltd have expanded their services to Papua New Guinea
through a non-exclusive sales and handling agreement with local
partner Swift Agencies (PNG) Ltd.
Ron Koehler, CEO of Schenker Australia Pty Ltd said in a statement
it is important that the company prepares for the growth in the
Oceania region by continuously developing extensive transport
networks.
DB Schenker, one of the leading providers of logistics services
worldwide, now offers integrated logistics services to industries
such as oil and gas, healthcare, aeroparts, consumer electronics,
automotive and mining in Papua New Guinea (PNG).
It provides extensive service offerings in PNG ranging from air
and ocean freight to Lae and Port Moresby, customs clearance,
domestic distribution (door to door), warehousing and storage, to
supply chain planning and supply chain management.
The transportation services offered include break bulk, hazardous
and dangerous goods, temperature-controlled cargo and project
cargo.
Australia is Papua New Guinea’s biggest import and export
destination and given the growth in Papua New Guinea’s gross
economic product (GDP) experienced in the last two years of 7% in
2007 and 6.5% in 2008, a strategic expansion of DB Schenker’s
services to this region was logical, the Schenker group said. |
