We are here! The 7th WIFFAC!

The 7th World International Freight Forwarders Alliance Convention with their theme “Gaining from Overseas” officially started on 20th Nov and continued on to 21st Nov. Our G.H Forwarding team also took part since we are a member.  WIFFA is an international logistics Credit Cooperation Organization established by Shipping China in 2009.

The convention was held on 20th Nov, with lots of professional logistics specialists sharing their experience about how WIFFA expands themselves to Europe, Japan, Australia and Africa, and also how to seize the chance of development logistics in Yangtze River Delta.

This is a great opportunity for all the logistics companies in China to learn and share how to go abroad, come up with suitable solutions to deal with different kind of shipments or transportation in foreign area. We all know that as globalization is growing stronger and stronger, Chinese logistics companies will need to face this, and we need to co-ordinate our efforts and grow together to make it a better future for the logistics industry.  It was a great meeting and we also learned a lot from the convention!

Banquet at night

This is The banquet on the night of the convention.  It boasted plenty of fun and games and other entertainment, but most of all, there was plenty of connections made between everyone – of course the alcohol being served helped too 🙂

On 21st Nov, we were one of the many members to display our company and services by having our own booth. We met a lot of Chinese logistics companies who can provide excellent logistics services, in these cases we can work together and compliment each other to provide more services to our respective clients.  We can work like we are family and cover the routes all around the world with the most comprehensive and high quality services.

 

We always believe that we can make it a bright future for logistics. We, G.H Forwarding, are always by your side whenever you need us, we are your agent in China!

In case you didn’t know…

We’ve been around for a long time now in different networks such as the WCA, JCTrans, GLA, WIFFA and iSEA, and though we have branch offices in Shanghai, Qingdao, Guangzhou (also covering Shenzhen) and Hochiminh (Vietnam) – and very soon in Tianjin – we generally focus more on what we can do in Ningbo where our headquarters is based.

The reason?  When attending network meetings, you will have access to many companies from China and you’ll find that no company can be best at everything in every place, so while I can say our service mentality and efficiency is more or less the same throughout our company, I can’t say that our branch offices are as strong as our headquarters in Ningbo.

In Ningbo – while not boring you with the facts of what a general freight forwarder can do – we are also direct booking agents.  In northern and eastern China, you need to be a booking agent in order to book directly to a shipping line, in other words, you need to work with a booking agent such as ourselves.  We have direct contracts with the shipping lines, while other forwarders who don’t have this status (class 1 forwarder) will have to submit their bookings to us.

In this respect, we can work quicker and more efficient for your bookings.  Whether you use our service contracts with shipping lines on PREPAID or your own service contracts on COLLECT, we will give you the same quick and efficient service for your ocean freight bookings, ensuring you get information sent to you as soon as WE know.

Then, if you like how we work in Ningbo, maybe you would also consider our service from our other branch offices.  That’s the general idea.  So next time if you bump into me at a network meeting, stop me and say “hi” to learn more.  It’s good to connect 😉
