A Letter of Thanks

After an extended stay in Phnom Penh following the GLA Conference, the remaining members of the G.H Forwarding team returned to China yesterday.

For G.H Forwarding we feel it was a successful conference in Phnom Penh, the capitol of Cambodia, being able to meet many agents big and small from around the world.

The conference was very well organised and the support staff was always on hand to lend a helping hand for any issues.

 

As with the previous conference in Shenzhen last year, you could see the meticulous planning involved in getting everyone together and also the closeness of the founder, Ms. Grace Sun, who again added a personal touch by taking the time to go around and speaking to everyone throughout the conference.

The banquette was a chance to add some culture into the conference with some Cambodian dancers giving a performance for everyone to savour and remember and throughout, there were presentations and prizes – and for once, I was a lucky winner! 🙂

It was also an honour to go around all the tables with Grace, Mr. Wang Derong (the former Vice President of the China Transport Association) and also GLA VIP members from ACE Global (Australia and New Zealand offices).

All in all, I feel it was a great conference at a great location and I feel that a lot of people at the conference will be winding down back in their respective countries and working on developing the new ties made.

 

So to finish….

 

Thank you GLA for the arrangement – without which, it would not be so successful.

 

Thank you to all the agents who participated, without you there would be no Conference.

Looking forward to seeing you all again next time!

WIFFA Cargo Trade Fair in Guangzhou

As we know, the Cargo Trade Fair is the center of communication and access to information. It has become an important part of the overall market expansion. Participated in the WIFFA exhibition held in Guangzhou on June 5th, 2019 is an excellent opportunity to promote and publicize our company’s business, showcase the company’s strength and image.

Although most of the companies participated in the exhibition are from China, there were also many overseas logistics companies, such as Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and so on. This enables us, who are interested in overseas freight companies, to contact and learn about overseas companies without going abroad.

For the exhibition, exhibitors must have a better understanding of the company’s business knowledge so that we can guide customers correctly during the exhibition. During the exhibition, in addition to patiently greeting companies who came to our booth to communicate with us, we also took the initiative to go to other companies’ booths to observe, understand, collect their business cards and make notes.

After the exhibition, first of all, we should summarize the work after the exhibition as one of the planning basis to guide the next exhibition, the purpose is to make up for the lack of this exhibition work, carry forward its advantages, so that G.H FORWARDING will progress in each conference and harvest more!

Father’s Day

The Origin of Father’s Day

The world’s first Father’s Day, born in 1910 in the United States, was advocated by Sonora Louise Smart Dodd, who lived in Spokane, Washington. Her mother died of childbirth when she gave birth to her sixth child. Mrs. Dodd’s father, Mr. William Smart, had fought in the Civil War. After his wife died, he was alone in a rural farm in eastern Washington State, taking on the responsibility of raising and educating six children. Mrs. Dodd was the second child in the family and the only girl in the family. The careful nature of the woman made her feel more about her father’s hard work. Mr. Smart worked hard during the day and took care of the housework and the life of every child when he came home at night. After decades of hard work, the children finally grew up. When the children hoped to make Mr. Smart enjoy his old age, Mr. Smart died in 1909 because of years of overwork.

When Mr. Smart died in 1909, Mrs. Dodd missed her father very much after attending the Mother’s Day Thanksgiving service in the church. Mrs. Dodd knew that her father’s love and hardship in raising children was no less than that of any mother. Mrs. Dodd told the church’s Rev. Rasmus how she felt and hoped for a special day in memory of the great father of the whole world. This idea was approved by the priest and supported by various church organizations. Mrs. Dodd wrote to the mayor and the state government to express her ideas, and suggested that her father’s birthday, 5 June every year, be Father’s Day. The mayor of Spokane and the governor of Washington publicly expressed their approval. The state government adopted it. This proposal was accompanied by the change of the holiday period to the third Sunday of June. On June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington, where Mrs. Dodd lived, the world’s first Father’s Day celebration was held. At about the same time, people in other towns across the United States began to celebrate Father’s Day.

The Celebration of Father’s Day

On Father’s Day, people choose specific flowers to express their respects and longing for their fathers. They adopt Mrs. Dodd’s suggestion that red roses be worn to show their love for their living fathers, while white roses are worn to express their mourning for their dead fathers. In some places, dandelion is used as a symbol of Father’s Day, in others, lilac with a green leaf is used to pay tribute to father.

Today, We always use kinds of ways to express our gratitude to our fathers, such as sending a gift, making a meal for father and so on.

How are you going to celebrate Father’s Day this Sunday?

2019 and Ningbo-Zhoushan port continues to grow

Located on the coast of the East China Sea and across from Shanghai, over the past few years, the port of Ningbo-Zhoushan has increasingly become an important amongst the many ports in China. In 2015, it handled 888.96 million tons of cargoes making it the busiest port in the world that year in terms of cargo tonnage.

Last year Ningbo-Zhoushan reported a container throughput of 26 million teu which pushed it up to rank in the world’s top three container ports for the very first time, second being Singapore and first being Shanghai. In the same year it also became the first port in the world to exceed 1 billion tonnes of annual cargo.

Now, according to the latest data from the official China Transportation Department, from Jan to April, cargo throughput has reached 348.06 million tonsat Ningbo-Zhoushan which compared with the figure last year, represents an increase of 1.2%.

At the same time, container throughput arrived 8.94 million TEU, and increased 3.3%, compared with the figure from last year.

 

In the port of Ningbo-Zhoushan, overall shipping routes are stable. There are 246 shipping routes which include 113 Ocean Trunk until the end of April. Sea-rail intermodal transportation business is the key point in increasing the volume of containers.

From Jan to April, sea-rail intermodal transportation shipped 243000 TEU, which compared with the figure last year, it increased 49.5%. There are 4 new routes, and total number of routes is now 14. The level of Zhoushan port service has made significant progress. Wherever the imported and exported containers are in the factory, freight forwarding, yard, dock, shipping company or other logistics areas, all this information regarding the imported and exported containers are dynamically visualized and controlled. It has become the first port in Chinawhere the operation handling of imported/exported containers are paperless and visualized. Previously this was all done and handled by people with paper documents which is neither efficient nor cost effective.

 

There is also the building terminal constructed to handle new processes, the project of the increasing terminal capacity develops to 499 meters and 120000 tons in Beilun Port. Besides, the shifting of bridge cranes in the Chuanshan Port and the loading & unloading of new equipment in the Meishan Port both areunder way.

 

This can all be seen as early evidence of success as in the second session of the 13th People’s Congress of Zhejiang Province in Jan this year, it was reported that Zhejiang province would make the integration of its Ningbo and Zhoushan cities a priority in 2019.

In Zhoushan Port, the growth trend of huangsha, liquefied oil products, automobile ro-ro and other business increases healthily. Meanwhile, the automotive ro-ro business arrives the throughput with 88000 vehicles in the pass four months, which compared with the figure last year, it increased 206.84%. In addition, crude oil, coal and other businesses are relatively stable, but the throughput of iron ore is decreased and slightly affected by objective factors, such as the Tailings dam break in Brazil , hurricane in Australia and so on.
