ECU Worldwide, Allcargo Logistics’ wholly-owned global subsidiary and a leader in LCL consolidation, has partnered with SIFAX Shipping Company Limited, a subsidiary of SIFAX Group, to introduce LCL consolidation services to the exporters especially the SMEs in Nigeria.
According to a press statement today, July 22, 2024,by Sadaf Merchant, Senior Executive – PR & Communications,
ECU Worldwide is the only company in Nigeria to offer outbound LCL consolidation services. Launch of the LCL consolidation service will help ECU Worldwide serve unmet demand for cost-effective transportation and exports of low-value products and commodities in the region such as agri-commodities, solid minerals, oil producing machineries for repairing etc. across the world. Since Nigeria is rich in agricultural crops such as cashew nuts, groundnut, etc., Small and medium scale businesses dealing in such agri commodities will now have a large scale and cost-effective global market access.
As a part of the collaboration, FMA-Line Nigeria Limited, a 100% subsidiary of ECU Worldwide in Nigeria, has started accepting the consignments from the exporters at the Ijora Bonded Terminal of SIFAX Group. The first sailing is scheduled on August 6, 2024 from Apapa Port to ECU Worldwide’s Antwerp hub and it will use Hapag-Lloyd shipping line service.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to Mark, Debbie and your teams for the great service we have received from ECU Worldwide. Your willingness and availability at all times are highly appreciated to achieve the service we get from yourselves.
Over a period of many years, Diamond Global Logistics have chosen to place business with ECU Worldwide UK. The service given to us by Ian, mark and their colleagues has been exemplary. In our view, ECU have set standards in customer service that other companies can only dream of. We are approached on a frequent basis by ECU’s competitors but no matter what they claim to be able to offer us, we are never convinced as to their abilities to attain the high standards that we seek in our service providers. In these days of rates being seen to be the all-important factor, with service often being an afterthought by many, ECU are a breath of fresh air in the marketplace. The relationship Diamond Global Logistics has with ECU is one that we place great value upon.
