Due to critical stock levels we needed a fast solution to urgently meet growing client demand. Presented with this challenge, ICE quickly identified appropriate freighter services and proactively managed the movement of goods end to end.

Since having International Cargo Express handle my ocean freight , I have had my bookings and equipment available without exception and on time. Communication between ICE and my supplier is very good and I receive information via my shipper before my supplier.

A few key considerations:
1. Air freight is much faster, but generally more expensive than sea freight
2. Both are reliable modes of transport, but both can encounter unexpected delays
3. Sea freight is typically more environmentally friendly than air freight
4. Sea freight is more suitable for a heavier load capacity than air freight

A great office scape. Our two female team members had the opportunity to visit the modern Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd on the last Women and Logistics networking event.
The cornerstone of the Queensland economy, the port is one of Australia’s fastest growing container ports and the state’s largest multi-cargo port. Over the next five years, an approximate $500 million investment is forecasted for infrastructure works. The positive effects of all efforts put into modernisation did not go unnoticed during the visit.
