Q. Which kind of shipments are more suitable for time-critical cargo?

A. Time-critical cargo is the quickest door-to-door delivery option for time-sensitive, critical, and expensive shipments. Moving valuable cargo like aircraft engines calls for attention to detail and operational expertise to execute perfectly. With an extensive background in sea freight, airfreight, land transport, and warehouse operations spanning two decades, our company prides itself on delivering hassle-free, punctual services to our clientele.Temporary imports and re-exports of automobiles for exhibitions & motor shows are another great example of where time-critical services are required. Marksman’s success in managing time-critical services for moving automobiles further underscores its commitment to meeting stringent deadlines.

Q. What are the challenges you face daily?

A. Effectively overseeing intricate supply chains and collaborating with numerous stakeholders amplifies the challenges of these kinds of projects. Furthermore, the task of risk management and addressing disruptions, such as adverse weather conditions or transportation delays, is paramount to guaranteeing punctual deliveries.

Q. Which are the most important aspects to consider when moving time-critical shipments?

A. One of the most important things to take into account is the attention to detail and operational expertise when dealing with high-value and time-sensitive cargoes like aircraft. Another thing that helps with time-critical cargo is to operate with your own warehouse. We have our own 3PL and customs-bonded warehouse to help with various needs from clients and overseas partners. Recognizing the heightened security demands for cargoes like aircraft engines, our company goes the extra mile by providing live CCTV footage from our warehouses. This innovative approach grants customers complete visibility and assurance regarding the condition and security of their stored cargo.

Q. Which has been the latest successful shipment you have moved?

A. A recent highlight for Marksman Logistics includes the seamless transfer of AOG (Aircraft On Ground) aircraft engines. We specialize in moving various types of aircraft engines, such as CF6-80C2, GEnX-2B, PW1100, for multiple airlines.
