Air Freight
Air freight is a method of transporting cargo through an air carrier. Air freight transportation is a fast and efficient mode of transport proving particularly valuable to businesses needing to import cargo for production, as well as export cargo to international customers fast and efficiently. We at ALS add value by moving cargo safely, timeously, and cost-effectively across the globe. We also pride ourselves in real-time updates as we aware of the time-sensitive nature of this cargo.
Road Freight
Ground freight, or road freight, is a method of transporting cargo on roadways with the use of a vehicle, usually by truck. Road transport is a classic mode of transportation and remains a versatile option today, well-suited to many needs. ALS offers our clients an efficient and streamlined road freight transport service, as well as our dedicated cross-border department.
Sea Freight
Sea Freight is a method of transporting large quantities of cargo using carrier ships. Cargo is packed into containers and loaded onto a vessel. Sea freight is the cost-effective solution for the transportation of large quantities of cargo which is not time sensitive. Whether our clients require FCL or LCL shipping, ALS offers cargo transport by sea freight coupled with cost-effective rates and value-added services.
Warehousing
Warehousing is the safe storage of cargo within a specified area or building. Warehousing is a key component of logistics management and how companies manage the transportation and storage of their cargo. All ALS warehouses nationally provide the space, equipment, storage and supplies that our clients need to store, move, package and process orders which are automated in real time.
Freight Forwarding
The essence of freight forwarding is to ensure that the cargo is picked up from the consignor (supplier) and delivered to the consignee (importer) at the required place, at the right price and in the same condition that it is picked up from the origin, using only the most suitable resources and routing possible. With our wealth of knowledge and expertise in all modes of transportation – road, air and sea, ALS is more than capable of providing cost-effective and efficient cargo shipping solutions based on our client’s requirements.
