The Clearing and Forwarding division is headed up by Professionals, who have been recruited from various disciplines and facets of the freight and logistics Industry. This when put together has a complimentary and very decisive effect in their outcomes and service levels.

Over the Years the Team has acquired a vast knowledge of the local Customs – Rules and Regulations and the “Dos and Don’ts” of our industry.

Their positive interaction with the Official Customs Regulatory Offices has held us in good stead over the years and has reinforced our Service Levels.

LBH South Africa Contract Logistics & Management:

We are very proud of our ability and knowledge of our local market. We would like all our Principals to benefit from the store of information which we have accumulated.

To this end we propose to administer your cargo on a ‘partnership’ basis. We see ourselves as your ‘partners’ in the logistics field. Invariably, your cargo is in the hands of persons over whom you have no direct control or possibly it’s even in the hands of people whom you have not appointed yourself. As traders this is a concern – we are able to offer you a solution. We can control and report on your cargoes in a customised method to suit your requirements exactly. We will supervise the function of the following subcontractors:

• Railways
• Ships agents
• Port authorities
• Ocean carriers
• Insurers
• Surveyors
• Hauliers
• Warehousemen

From the data collected from the above we are able to offer daily reports on your cargo movements and a consolidated cost control system.
