Allround Forwarding & Logistics in Belgium Handle a BB Vessel of Steel Coils
May 25th, AFL X2 Asia Global Members based in the port of Antwerp were instructed to handle a breakbulk vessel called Star Istind at Belgium Based Port for the unloading of almost 20000 Mt of steel coils coming from Shanghai Port.
Here is what Michael Traute had to say “The unloading operations started at 06.00 am but we already sent our first project updates at 05.50 am to our principals to inform that operation were almost ready to start. During the daytime we followed all operations and damages surveyed on board were immediately sent to our principals in order to hold the carrier responsible. Finally, at 6 pm evening, we finished the complete unloading of the vessel and all cargo was stored inside our bonded warehouses, stored per BSL and unit weights as instructed by our principals. After customs clearances and final release, we shall continue with the project & bring in July 2020 the coils to France and Germany by coil trucks and coil wagons. All these coils are destined for the German and the French automotive industry using our AFL services and the port of Antwerp as their hub”

We have been a member of X2 since 2014 and have attended six conferences. Richard and his passion for the network with his enthusiastic team have arranged all the conferences perfectly considering every single detail. We made many friends and found new global partners to work with at the conferences. X2 is one of the good solutions for our needs and we hereby thank them for their efforts.
I have attended a lot of networks and annual meetings in the freight industry, but I have never come across a network like X2. This is another level. It is a pleasure to be a part of the X2 network - the professionalism, the attention to detail, the broad and knowledgeable staff - everything at the highest level.
X2 is really an excellent logistics network, with a well-organized team that is always thoughtful and helpful. We are happy with X2 and expect a long journey together.
