Beyond Rubber Glove Delivery
The year 2020 is the year of the global pandemic of COVID-19. This has resulted in high global demands for protective gears like masks and rubber gloves. In June 2020, MLH Worldwide was tasked to handle and deliver huge consignments of rubber gloves. MLH Worldwide is an international forwarding arm of the MLH Group. We work with our overseas network partner, GEFCO to provide logistic solutions to both local and international clients.
However, there was a big challenge. The pandemic has caused many airlines cancelled their flights and restriction of movements in many countries. From door-to-door, port-to-port, and anywhere to the customer’s door, we cover them all.
The rubber gloves were due to be delivered to Muscat, Oman. Thankfully, MLH Worldwide together with the assistance of our partners and sister companies, we are able to coordinate the delivery with an airline representative. We packed the shipment in the cargo and middle row of passenger seats. And we also handled the loading from the shipper’s location. There was a difficulty. All the cartons were loose. Hence, we quickly got into action by printing the stickers and placed it onto the box. Then we did a build-up at the airport and loaded them into the cargo. The loose cartons were placed in the passenger area. The result: We are able to save the consignment from damages and the delivery went on as scheduled.
Solar Team Twente for World Challenge 2017
It was not easy to deliver solar cars nation to nation because not all flights were direct. Therefore, when our client wanted to deliver the solar cars for Solar Team Twente for World Challenge from Netherlands to Australia, they were unsure how to solve this logistic. Our overseas partner, GEFCO initially wanted to ship the solar cars from Netherlands to Australia via MAS Freighter. However, there was no available freighter from Malaysia to Darwin, Australia. Hence, our partner engaged MLH Worldwide to look into the trans-shipment of solar car from Netherlands to Australia under the ATA Carnet. MLH Worldwide is an international forwarding arm of the MLH Group which works hand in hand with overseas network partner, GEFCO to provide logistic solutions to both local and international clients. The company was time-responsive and efficient to quickly solve this handling and deliver of car solar. We manage to handle the ATA Carnet from Malaysia to Singapore. As there was no direct flight from Malaysia to Darwin then, we came up with the solution of putting Singapore as the transit point. The minute the cargo arrived in Malaysia airport, we uploaded the cargo into a bonded truck and then transported it to Singapore airport. From there, the solar car was uplifted into the plane which would then deliver it to Darwin, Australia.
