HISTORY OF FREIGHT FORWARDERS

The earliest records about freight forwarding describe International Freight Forwarders as Inn Keepers in London, England, Inn Keepers would hold and forward clients (guests) personal effects staying at their Hotel. The First Freight Forwarder on record is Thomas Meadows and company, of London. Thomas Meadows and Company was established in 1836. In 1889 a company called Rockwell International Freight bought out Thomas Meadows and Company. Delmar International then purchased Rockwell International Freight in 1990, Delmar was based in Montreal, Canada.

In early times, a freight forwarder was responsible for the transportation of clients cargo by way of organising and contracting different carriers, it was the job of the Freight Forwarder to handle documentation and keep his clients updated on the progress of cargo. The Freight Forwarders overseas agent would then look after the clients cargo.

Today in Australia, International Freight Forwarders operate in all capital cities and the basic principles of Freight Forwarding are the same. Freight Forwarders will look after the transportation of commodities and all of the associated documentation. Most Australian freight forwarders will work with a licensed customs broker. Australian Customs Brokers are regulated by the Australian Government. The digital/electronic age has stepped up demand for international trade and in turn demand for International Freight Forwarders.

When consigning international air freight it is important to ensure you goods are well packaged for international transportation and clearly addressed and labelled correctly ( if your cargo is fragile, use fragile stickers or “this way up” etc as required), if you are sending more than one piece CargoMaster suggests that you number your pieces. Try to make your air freight easy to handle (not to heavy) or if your cargo happens to be a heavy piece, then ensure it is palletized (or on a skid) and well strapped to the pallet (or skid). Check the status of you cargo (make sure it is not HAZ cargo) before presenting the goods for air transportation. Transit times from Mackay will depend on the destination.

BREAK BULK SHIPPING

“WHAT IS BREAK BULK SHIPPING FROM TOWNSVILLE, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?”

Did you know the phrase “Break Bulk” comes from a much older phrase “Breaking Bulk” which means to extract a portion of cargo on a shipping vessel (unload some cargo from a cargo vessel), or it could mean “to start the unloading process from the hull of a ship”.

In today’s terms the phrase “ break bulk” refers more to the type of cargo being shipped. Break-Bulk cargo can be boxes, drums, pallets, crates, bags and items of extreme size that are loaded individually , not in shipping containers or as bulk cargo (for example Bulk Iron Ore) .

Break Bulk shipping is the world’s oldest form of shipping and was originally the most common form of shipping.

Loading and unloading break bulk cargo requires specialists experience and knowledge.

CargoMaster handles all sorts of break bulk cargo from and to Mackay. Commodities carried break bulk by CargoMaster include: Heavy industrial equipment, building materials to the Pacific Islands, Mining equipment and machinery, snow ploughs from Canada and steel building supports from Belgium.
