Throughout history, oceans have been the most widely used mode of transportation for businesses. It gives them the ability to expand their operations to international shores without overburdening them with the extravagant cost of logistics.
Apart from being cost-effective, sea freight is the most environment-friendly mode of transportation. However, businesses are often riddled with a litany of logistical concerns when transporting their goods through oceans.
Moreover, ocean freight providers normally do not offer the desired transparency and reliability—tracking solutions,
easy documentation, and other services—making it difficult for businesses to trust their freight forwarders. Besides, the Covid-19 pandemic and its continuing effects on trade have only exacerbated the challenges for shippers in the dynamic ocean freight landscape. Not to mention the impact of Brexit that has a clear impact on every stage of the logistics process, from transport fees and new limitations to restrictions on
imported goods.
To this end, businesses need a competent partner that can help them strengthen relationships with suppliers, improve their negotiating power, have the ability to forecast changes as well as stave-off any other shippingrelated vagaries.
This is where Italy-based logistics company Zeta System comes into the picture that offers customised freight management solutions for businesses across Europe, from west Mediterranean countries like Italy and Spain to North European countries like U.K., Ireland, and others.
A full Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) and an ISO 9001 certified company for its quality management system, Zeta System specialises in full container load (FCL), port operations, fast load and more for any shipment, ranging fromfood stuff, furniture, leather to consumer goods. “We are the only maritime transport company that offers sea freight rates for special equipment—40’Pallet Wide and 45’HC Pallet Wide containers—and also standard containers, for the trades between Italy and Spain to the UK. We also directly own a fleet of 1000/45’hcpw units,” states Antonio Zaccagnino, CEO at Zeta System.
