Maersk Air Freight seems to have created enough problems for itself though it portrayed integrated power under the new organisation, reports The LoadStar.
Not Best Practice!
Maersk Air Freight posted images of a 747 air charter it arranged, from China to Europe, for a hi-tech customer, showing off its “integrated power under the new organisation”.
The MD for China said, “We can transport via ocean, inland and air with our amazing teams around the world,” crowed.
Pallets sitting on the ground
Unfortunately, the images it used showed pallets sitting on the ground in warehouses. According to a veteran air freight handler, it is not ‘Best Practice’ and he said, “It’s disgraceful”.
Damage to shipment and equipment
Though the airline and identity of any handler remains unclear, David Ambridge, former head of WFS in Thailand and a veteran of the cargo handling business said both the shipment and equipment could be damaged.
“The only way to move [these pallets] is by scooping them up off the floor with a large forklift. This is against industry policy, because it causes extensive damage.”
