Phuket, 4th April 2019: Conqueror Freight Network, the largest exclusive network in the world, brought together more than 120 attendees representing over 50 countries in Phuket, Thailand, from 2nd to 4th of April.

The Annual Meeting offered plenty of networking opportunities with the scheduled one-to-one meetings of the members together with all the unofficial business discussions held in course of the cocktail party, lunch, dinner and coffee breaks. Some of the crowning moments of the meeting included a Welcome Cocktail reception and a Gala Dinner Party at a beachfront restaurant where the agents got to live it up after a day of face to face meetings.

“The meeting gave our members a chance to meet each other, promote their business and discuss matters face to face which is undoubtedly much more productive and congenial than months of discussions over video calls or emails. It was indeed great to be back at Phuket- the place where we started off our very first Annual Conference back in 2012!” says Antonio Torres, President, and Founder of Conqueror Freight Network.

Additionally, the technological challenges faced by independent forwarders and the issues related to the logistics industry were addressed in the course of the two and a half days of the meeting. Conqueror’s team has taken this opportunity to show the new improvements they have made in the software they are working on: Freight Viewer – which will allow agents to receive and send quotations 24/7.

As stated by one of the attending members, “It is very satisfying to see that Conqueror Freight Network’s team is investing in a future for us, the freight forwarders, with innovative tools such as FreightViewer. All our work processes are being more and more digitalized and we can’t be left behind,”

Just 4 days to go for Conqueror’s 8th Annual Meeting at Phuket, Thailand!

International Freight Services Inc., Conqueror member in Chicago, USA, has completed the movement of three specially equipped trucks consisting of concrete placement telescoping conveyor systems.

Each unit of the cargo weighed 35 metric tons and measured over 13 meters in length and 4 meters in height. The road transport in Argentina which covered 2400 Km from the Zarate Port to the final destination in Punta Quilla was the most challenging part of this project. 

“Moving this bulky shipment from Zarate Port to Punta Quilla over a stretch of 2400 Km by road was indeed a demanding job which was accomplished without any incidents. The movement of the cargo was customized according to the requirement of our customer and they are really satisfied with the outcome of the project, thanks to the tailor-made services of IFS,” says Peter Kajornjit, the Vice President of International Freight Services.

CQR Hangzhou successfully hauls 9 complex project shipments from China to Manila against all odds

Posted on | by admin

They had to send the shipment in 2 batches due to its enormous size and the very strict security inspection at Shanghai Airport 

Domax Logistics, Conqueror member in Hangzhou, China, has recently hauled 9 complex project shipments from China to Manila, Philippines. The 9 shipments consisted of 42 pieces of which 34 were oversized and therefore involved complexities related to loading and x-ray. “This shipment was not easy to handle since it coincided with the time of CIIE (China International Import Expo) and the airport security inspection at Shanghai airport was very strict,” says Sue Xu of the Domax team.

Ms. Xu further added, “There were very few freighter routes from China to Manila, and some of our packages had to be loaded on B747-400F. All these factors posed a bit of a challenge but thanks to the efficiency of our team, we bypassed all these hurdles. We separated the shipments into two parts and moved them from Shenzhen and Xiamen and the delivery was completed right on time.”

Congratulations to Domax Logistics for flawlessly moving this complex cargo!

After downloading the cargo at the Jebel Ali Port in UAE, it was moved to the shopping mall in Muscat by a truck. “One of the most challenging parts about this project was that the cargo was delicate by nature and therefore we had to be extremely careful to avert even the slightest damage. We had to get road permission in China, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Oman, while we also had to obtain special permission from the customs department while entering Nansha port, Guangzhou,” says Zona Yu, Regional Service Director of Dlink Global.
