    Tea For The Tillerman , please

    Tea For The Tillerman , please

    One of the joys of Summer, aside from the beach and the
    Beach Boys’ Good Vibrations
    and warmed up weather and outside get-togethers is cruising along with all of
    the same, during August, on a long, slow languorous glide, like the water ride
    at Palisade’s Park into September. No need to rush, we have time.

    Speaking of cruising there seems to be a lot of that going
    on right now. No need to blush either, boy: we have some other game in mind… The
    word cruising as well as the world of cruising hold some glamour, in particular
    in summer, although I can hardly imagine climbing aboard any ship with several
    thousand people onboard these days or doing anything unexpected now that we are
    all so much older and wiser, after COVID especially, right?

    Elsewhere the pencil and the sword, thin river-boats of
    Viking Cruises all over Europe hold some allure even here in North America, but
    they seem to be less daunting, a bit more manageable today than they would have
    in Lindisfarne about 1000 years ago. We are telling a tale of swift development
    in logistics and industry, far from battle and invasion.

     Great that YouTube and Amazon Prime TV here in the USA have
    picked up the narrow-boat phenomenon going on in the UK.

    Small boats, in fact barges of historical nature, carrying
    mostly coal in the past, are a history lesson in cargo transportation in the
    land where you can ply the over 4,000 miles of canals and imagine how these
    waterways and former tow paths sparked the Industrial Revolution, the Victorian
    Era and in fact were key in making Great Britain a world power.

     

    Actually the Thames remains today an antidote to London’s
    stifling traffic for some selected operators and as much as London, Amsterdam
    and New York have shaped global trade in the last four centuries, both grand
    and mean, depending… there are still so many smaller details in the waterways
    of Anglia that their full story cannot be entirely told.    

     

    For me especially, during the Dog Days with heavy rain here in
    New York City recently, confined indoors by the weather, watching a You Tube
    sponsored series titled “Travels by Narrowboat” for a couple of sessions was
    informative and fun.

    The Man Who Is Changing The Way To Pay Cargo

    The Man Who Is Changing The Way To Pay Cargo

    As Air Cargo Europe finally meets this week with people gathering from all over the world in Munich, the outstanding development since last we met is the emergence of a company branded PayCargo.

    PayCargo is the brain child of Cuban-born Eduardo del Riego, who came to the United States of America as a child and embraced the American Dream. What Eduardo did was invent a well-funded, top financial service company head and shoulders above any we have ever seen, that delivers air and sea cargo flexible and totally reliable financial services solutions.

    PayCargo is not only sweeping the nation and in just a few short years has become the best and most favored way to pay quickly and efficiently; right now PayCargo is expanding taking hold all over the world.

    Trade Shows Takeoff Around The World

    Trade Shows Takeoff Around The World

    LogiPharma was held April 25-27 in Lyon, France at Palais des congrès de Lyon. The event was slick well-organized and interesting, full of heavy duty business, and lots of people and action at a great venue. If you want to know where many of the airlines looking for business and new horizons post COVID were, they were in France discovering that engaging the pharma in 2023 is good over there, Pierre!

    "One From The Heart" recalls the life and times of our friend, the late Joachim Frigger.

    Tulsi Smart Hits The Bullseye For Dart

    Tulsi Smart Hits The Bullseye For Dart

    The theme for International Women’s Month this year is “Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories.”

    Who better to represent air cargo during International Women’s Month 2023 than Tulsi Nowlakha Mirchandaney, who is celebrating over five decades in air cargo. Tulsi is Managing Director and Accountable Manager of Blue Dart Aviation and is our lead off story as we launch Women’s Month 2023.

    Blue Dart is based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India and serves 7 Indian metro cities. Deutsche Post owns a 70% stake in the airline through its subsidiary Blue Dart Express. Blue Dart operates a fleet of 6 B757-200 freighters to leading India cities.

    “The only constant in my 28 years here,” Tulsi said unhesitatingly, “has been the enduring passion and resilience of the people who make up this amazing industry, and who have helped it grow and evolve through decades of varied challenges and turbulence”.

    Fruit Logistica Opens Wednesday in Berlin / CEIV Up Close

    Fruit Logistica Opens Wednesday in Berlin / CEIV Up Close

    Fruit and vegetable lovers will be 'loving it up' at Berlin’s Annual Fruit Logistica all this week at the massive Berlin ExpoCenterCity and CityCube in Germany, February 8-10, 2023.

    It may come as a shock to some shippers to learn that one of the biggest challenges to safe handling of lithium batteries or lithium anything is the paperwork.
    Enter an IATA-initiative branded Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV), a process that now can assure auditing the action and providing confidence for lithium battery shipping.
    Created by IATA Cargo in 2021, Qatar Airways and its global handler Qatar Aviation Services just received certification of the duo’s outstanding ongoing handling of lithium battery shipments.
    Qatar Aviation Services is the first ground-handling company to be certified in this manner globally.
