Testimonials

We had a new client in Italy and we used another forwarder who let us down badly by delivering the cargo late and not keeping us correctly informed. That's why I did a search on the internet for freight forwarders providing groupage export services to Italy and came across R W Freight. We used your freight services to ship another consignment to the same client in Pergine Valsugana, Italy. We are glad we came across your company because your service was superb and I was kept very well informed. In turn I could keep our client correctly updated. I will definitely utilise your services whenever and where ever possible.

Natural disasters affect Global Shipping

Flooding in Queensland, Australia has had a huge impact on exports; up to 30 million tonnes of iron ore were unable to be dug out, processed and shipped to China and elsewhere after the mines were flooded. Exports dropped by 8.7 per cent in the three months to March, the biggest quarterly fall in 37 years.

More than 90 per cent of the world’s goods are carried by ocean-going vessels; weather conditions and the boom-bust nature of the shipping sector are crucial factors in global trade. In good years, the shipping industry makes huge profits, but natural disasters in commodity producing countries reduce trading activity accross the world.

Apart from the Australian floods, the Japanese earthquake and tsunami disaster in March also hit the shipping industry.
