It has not been the flying start that we had all hoped for! There is one truck currently on its way to Abu Dhabi for our good client from The Netherlands with another load of marquees for some sporting event, but otherwise just enquiries for trailers that are yet to be confirmed. We are however continuing with trailer movements from Abu Dhabi through to Ras Al Khair in Saudi Arabia and loaded 4 trailers yesterday, bringing the total moved now to 14.
Our Iceland service is proving to be successfull with regular container departures on a weekly basis. With Astran/Lema having good contacts in the UK, we can compete with the larger shipping lines, by offering a more personal service.

 Click here to add your comments (4) Monday, December 17, 2012 As expected, our clients have not let us down! We sent two truck over to Austria over the weekend to collect full loads of buttwelded fittings for a new project in Saudi Arabia.
There are four loads in total with two loading Tuesday and the final two loading on Wednesday/Thursday. They should make it to Saudi Arabia for Christmas/Boxing day, so it looks like roast Camel for them!!
We also sent another truck to Italy last week where he made 8 collections of high quality furniture and fittings for a new restaurant that will be opening in Qatar in the New Year.
