* UK and Pakistani freight forwarding and logistics groups sign up to secure Afghani cargo routes
Karachi,Pakistan -Handy Shipping Guide -23 June 2014: -- It is essential that well forged military supply chain links remain open for commercial traffic after cessation of hostilities... Few outside the international supply chain realise the importance of logistics when it comes to assisting the troubled nations around the globe, both supporting during the times of conflict and, just as crucially, aiding the recovery when the warring factions are withdrawn or reduced. Now freight forwarding outfit Allseas Global Logistics has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Raaziq Logistics and Supply Chain Management, a firm which claims, with some justification, to be Pakistan’s leading company in the field. A decade ago the Pakistani organisation opened two Afghan routes on behalf of NATO’s International and Security Assistance Force (ISAF), the northern route via the Khyber Pass into Kabul, an eight-day truck drive, and the shorter, three-day route into the Afghani southern regions, both of which also had a small commercial cargo element. Now the intent is that these two critical supply chain corridors are maintained by the new cooperation as the country rebuilds after years of conflict. The routes were established by Raaziq to facilitate the transport of supplies from Port Qasim, Karachi, to military bases in Afghanistan. Raaziq also owns and operates 13 staging stations located strategically along the routes; these secure compounds provide the full range of services for up to 40 trucks each day, including toilet and washing facilities, sleeping areas, fuel and lighting and full life support. Raaziq’s services also include arranging and escorting truck convoys along these transport corridors...
