Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) is reaching out on behalf of one of our valued industry members who is experiencing rapid growth in their e-commerce air freight operations. They are seeking warehousing solutions to support their expanding volumes and would greatly appreciate the insights and capabilities of the FTA community.
What's Needed
The business requires 77G bonded warehouse services for air freight shipments, with the following specifics
- Volume – 30+ air shipments per week, averaging 1,000 kg per shipment
- Cargo Type – Includes Unit Load Devices (ULDs) and loose cargo, with around 80 house bills of lading (HBLs) per shipment
Process
- Airside delivery from CTO into the bond
- Customs clearance is managed by the business
- No additional labelling required (all shipments are pre-labelled at origin)
Additionally, they are looking for
- Breakbulk services and air cargo automation
- Underbond and cargo reporting compatible with ICS software integration
Why They Need Help
Until recently, their warehousing needs were met by a reliable provider, but due to capacity issues and seasonal challenges, this arrangement is no longer viable. With volumes expected to grow even further in 2025, they are seeking both short-term solutions and potential long-term partnerships to maintain momentum.
Opportunities for Collaboration
This member is open to exploring various arrangements, including
- Immediate access to bonded warehouse capacity ideally in Sydney however, open to different options
- Partnership opportunities with experienced 77G warehousing providers
- Long-term collaboration options such as joint ventures or even acquiring a smaller business
