Forwarder GEODIS charters vessel to move cargo

Freight Forwarder Geodis has chartered a 1,000TEU ship to secure space for its customers’ cargo from Asia to Europe following the critical congestion and chronic box shortages caused by the pandemic on the trade.

[s2If is_user_logged_in()]The first vessel on the Geodis service is scheduled to arrive in Hamburg on 28 February, with a cargo of 435FEU on board.

GEODIS said, “This ship is carrying a total of 435 forty-foot containers for customers who have found it increasingly difficult to secure space with regular carriers at a viable rate. The next vessel sailing is scheduled to leave Shanghai around 10 February. Depending on demand, GEODIS will plan additional sailings over the coming weeks.”

Matthias Hansen is Senior Vice President Global Ocean Freight for GEODIS, said, “We understand the current market challenges resulting from unprecedented customer demand and the limitations of ocean carrier capacity and sailings from China and other parts of Asia.”

Hansen added the company is “Working hard to find solutions for our customers. Hence, this exclusive vessel charter to supplement fixed long-term agreements we have with core carriers. We strive to deliver certainty to our customers amid the unstable market.”
