The freight forwarding division of Norbert Dentressangle (ND) has launched ‘Red Ocean Connect’, a managed, end-to-end global seafreight service that connects its global offices.
Following a number of acquisitions, including the recent purchases of the freight forwarding activities in India and Sri Lanka of Sri Lankan conglomerate John Keells Group, ND is now looking to take advantage of its presence in the world’s major trading regions.
Following the launch of its Red Sky Connect primary airfreight network earlier this year, Red Ocean Connect allows ND to provide a door-to-door service between Asia, Europe, North America and South America both by sea and air, ensuring complete, end-to-end supply chain management and control.
Red Ocean Connect offers local vendor management, daily FCL and LCL services, customs and duty management and destination services, providing a 'secure and reliable service managed by a single partner'.
For European destinations, the service also provides access to Norbert Dentresangle’s pan-European transport and logistics networks, the group noted.
'We continue to strengthen our freight forwarding operations in growing markets and we are now present in all key areas: China, Latin America, the United States, Europe and now India and Sri Lanka,' said managing director of Norbert Dentressangle Overseas, Guillaume Col. 'The launch of the Red Ocean Connect freight service is another key step for the development of our global freight forwarding operations.'
