Welcome to the fifth edition of 'ServiceWithout Boundaries', the U-Freight Group's customer newsletter.
Many readers in the Northern hemisphere will have started, or be looking forwards to their summer vacation and a little light summer holiday reading. But before you start on the latest novel bought at the airport, do make sure that you read the various articles included in the latest issue of 'Service Without Boundaries'.
Swaths of China, Europe and America have been left sweltering over the last two months by record-breaking high temperatures which some have suggested is clear evidence of global warming and gives ammunition to the environmental lobby.
In a recent report by the International Transport Forum (ITF), a division of the Organization for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD), green issues were to the fore. The ITF predicts that freight transport capacity around the world will be hard-pressed to expand as rapidly as demand when the recovery is in full bloom; partly this will arise from constraints that providing 'greener' modes of transport might bring. The key will be to open new paths that can make transport cleaner, safer, more accessible and more efficient.
Key to that will be having access to useful information such as that available in Service without Boundarie, or on the UFL website and provided by my colleagues in UFL offices across the globe.
