FAMOUS Pacific Shipping (FPS) Group, with a Hong Kong secretariat, has recruited Mumbai's Global Logistics and Mombasa's LCL Logistix Kenya to join its forwarding and NVOCC network as members.
Global Logistics has its own regional offices in Chennai, Kolkata, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Tuticorin and Jaipur, with representation at other key locations throughout India.
The company's main business is LCL exports and import consolidations, and also acts as a neutral consolidator with a focus on sales to local and international forwarders.
Founded in 2006, employing 200 staff, Global also provides shippers with FCL freight forwarding, air freight and project logistics services.
Mombasa-based LCL Logistix Kenya is the subsidiary of existing FPS Indian member LCL Logistix. The unit provides FCL and LCL imports and deconsolidation for Kenya via Mombasa, with forwarding to Uganda, South Sudan and Somalia.
Through its office in Dar es Salaam, LCL Logistix also serves Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia and Congo. The company can also handle air freight imports via Mombasa and Dar as well as provide heavylift service to the interior.
"We welcome these new members to the FPS family, and look forward to working closely with them to further develop the scale and capabilities of our system," said FPS advisory board chairman Gihan Nanayakkara.
Founded in 1998, it now works through its 74 members in 50 countries to provide a range of multimodal services including ocean consolidation, NVOCC services, air freight forwarding, warehousing, logistics, surface transportation and project forwarding.
