UTi Introduces Multimodal Hubs for Faster Delivery
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
LONG BEACH, Calif., Dec. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UTi Worldwide Inc.
(Nasdaq:UTIW), a global supply chain services and solutions provider has
introduced new multimodal hubs in Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City to tackle
the challenges of static air cargo capacity and service its Worldwide Gateways
in Europe and the USA.
Using these consolidation hubs UTi can provide faster, more reliable transits
for clients' goods and take advantage of excess, short haul air capacity while
also benefiting from established road feeder routes it already has in place.
These hubs also allow UTi to roll out new routes to provide clients with
seamless movement of cargo to UTi's European and American gateways. The three
new routes are:
* SMATAR Germany - Singapore Malaysia and Thailand Air Routing to Germany -
for locations in Europe serviced by UTi's Frankfurt Gateway
* SMATAR Amsterdam - Singapore Malaysia and Thailand Air Routing to Amsterdam
- for locations in Europe serviced by UTi's Amsterdam Gateway
* SMART-US - Safe Mekong Air Routing to the US - for freight from Vietnam and
Cambodia to UTi's Chicago and Atlanta Gateways.
Mudasar Mohamed, UTi Worldwide's Managing Director for Singapore and Malaysia,
said:
"Business in the ASEAN region continues to grow, while air cargo capacity from
the area has remained static - resulting in an overflow of export cargo causing
delays for clients, especially during peak seasons.
"In order to tackle these challenges, UTi Worldwide in South East Asia has been
looking to develop new routes and multimodal freight options to create seamless
movement for our clients' shipments.
"Our new routes will allow clients to benefit from improved transit times and
the elimination of split shipments, as well as the knowledge that their goods
are being delivered quicker, safer and more reliably all year round."
