Posted on 6 March, 2020 | by admin

The updated CQR brochure for Incoterms 2020 offers a chart elucidating the liabilities of exporters and importers in international trade

Conqueror has updated and uploaded a brochure of Incoterms 2020 containing the most recent version of the Incoterms rules launched by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) which has come into effect from 1st January 2020. The Conqueror Incoterms brochure has been modernised with a fresh and simplified design so that members can easily share it with their clients and partners.

The Incoterms rules were first listed down back in 1936 by ICC to create a set of globally accepted rules and definitions with regards to delivery of goods among trading partners all over the world. Since then these rules have been periodically amended and the Incoterms 2020 rules come with detailed notes and graphs illustrating the liabilities of exporters and importers for each of the Incoterms rule.

As explained by Mr. John WH Denton AO, the Secretary General of Incoterms, “Incoterms 2020 rules make business work for everyone by facilitating trillions of dollars in global trade annually. Because they help importers and exporters around the world to understand their responsibilities and avoid costly misunderstandings, the rules form the language of international sales transactions, and help build confidence in our valuable global trading system.”

Conqueror member in Cairo has been listed as one of the top ten forwarders for Air France/KLM Egypt

Posted on 31 January, 2020 | by admin

In the last three years, they moved over 1500 tons of cargo per year

MGL Cargo Services, Conqueror member in Cairo, Egypt, has been listed as one of the top ten freight forwarders for Air France/ KLM Egypt. On the occasion of the inauguration of the new A350 aircraft to Cairo, Air France/ KLM conducted an event where they shared this list of the Top Ten Cargo Agents in Egypt. The new A350 aircraft is offering 7 PMCs with an average of 25 tons per flight.

This vast load space has allowed them to enhance their sales activity and maximize their market share within this group.

As stated by Mr. Marc Gharabawi, the Executive Director of MGL Cargo Services, “During the last three years we have loaded more than 1500 tons of shipment per year with Air France/KLM, which consisted of various commodities such as perishables, textiles and general cargo.We have secured our allotments to specific destinations served by this group.Our space is secured all over the year, regardless of the time of the year when getting a concrete booking can be a real nightmare for most of the freight forwarders operating at Cairo airport.”

Air France is covering specific areas in Africa, where it is very hard to move bulk cargo, which includes several territories being handled by Conqueror Cairo. This has allowed them to significantly enhance their service towards their clientele. “Ensuring the guarantee of very special rates for our company wasn’t a piece of cake. I would like to thank my teammates for their consistent efforts which have been duly rewarded. Air France/KLM grabbed the occasion to congratulate us for our performance, celebrating this event in our office, in the presence of our staff.” adds Mr. Gharabawi.

Congratulations to MGL Cargo Services and wishing them the very best for their upcoming projects!
