Townsville to asia - shipping services surge

24/5/2018

 
Picture
Did you know that there are FOUR shipping lines offering Townsville port calls for your cargo into and out of Asia?  Now is the right time to have us check which routing and service will best suit your requirements.
Using a Direct Service into Townsville rather than via a southern port has a number of advantages.  These include reducing the overall transport cost as there is no on-carriage by road or rail from the southern port of discharge to Townsville.  Reliability of delivery as the service is not affected by seasonal disruptions such as road or rail closures caused by cyclones and flooding.  Finally, the scourge of all Importers and Exporters – Container Detention.  Unless cargo has been consigned on a Through Bill of Lading then the detention free period will commence on the first day of availability at the port of discharge.  With many lines now offering only 7 free days, the available free time is quickly eroded by weekends, rail booking availabilities and time in transit up and down the east coast.  A direct call to Townsville means your container has arrived at your doorstep at the commencement of the free time rather that at the end
