The biannual JAS Germany management meeting was held May 12 & 13, 2016 in Neu-Isenburg/Germany. 26 participants from all German branches met to evaluate current national and global programs to share best practices and to set priorities for the coming months. 

One key topic was the successful roll out of our CargoWise One (C1) System in Germany, effective April 1, 2016. Our globally used software enables JAS Germany to now provide JAS Worldwide Service Standards to all of our customers. Juergen Erdt (JAS MD Germany) said: “To make this roll out a success, we had the full engagement of the JAS Germany employees, together with our overseas colleagues, supporting this important milestone!”

The stand out of the meeting was to welcome the Management teams of China and USA in Germany. The Chinese team was led by Mr. Gabriele Benedetti (CEO JAS China), Mrs. Lavinia Chan (Sales Director Southern China), and Mr. Andrea Azzimonti (Sales Director Northern & Central China), supported by Mr. Bernd Meyer (VP Sales Asia). The USA team was composed of Mr. Adrian Emmenegger (President & CEO of JAS USA), Mr. Tony Romano (VP Sales & Marketing USA), and Mr. Bjoern Wiede (Trade Lane Director).
​
This joined meeting was the ideal platform to present and strengthen two of the most important trade regions for JAS Germany. The encounter enabled German management to meet personally with key managers and allowed for very constructive conversations on our strategies, our best practices and our next actions to develop our services. With full commitment from all parties, this event will positively impact the development of the JAS Worldwide trade-lane strategy, and continue our reach for total customer satisfaction goals.

​With the slow streaming trend initiated by ocean carriers, coupled with unexpected congestion in some of the major ports, the JAS Sea/Air product has been a major cost-saving alternative for many customers across the globe.

When ocean freight becomes too late to supply its customers or factories, Sea/Air service is an alternative instead of paying high cost direct air freight transportation. Dubai is home to one of the world’s largest airports and its unique location makes it the earth’s natural hub.

All major carriers operate directly in and out of the United Arab Emirates, making it an ideal location with a unique cost savings advantage. Combining geographical advantage by linking Asia to the rest of the world, along with outstanding local infrastructure, both DXB and DWC cargo terminals are designed to meet the needs of customers with EFFICIENT AND COST SAVINGS SOLUTIONS.

​Whether your cargo is destined for Europe, the Americas or Africa, JAS – through its Jebel Ali & DXB hubs can provide the best quality & price for Sea/Air services. Although limited to specific products, the service is used with great success for e-goods, mid fashion retail and from origins where uplift is scarce. 

For more information, please contact your local JAS office in APAC, EMEA or North America.

​JAS Projects - Oil & Gas MENA and JAS Projects - Oil & Gas India took on the challenge and are currently handing a Gas Processing Project in Saudi Arabia for a customer. Recently, two heavy lift shipments have been moved from the Hazira port in India to the Duba port of Saudi Arabia. 

The Duba port is located in the northwest of Saudi Arabia on the coast of the Red Sea, about 180 km from Tabuk city, and approximately 1000 km from the city of Jeddah that is accessible by coastal highway that passes through the major port and industrial city of Yanbu. Transport out of Duba is quite challenging, not only because of the remote location but also because the port lacks the facilities to assist in a transport of this magnitude. Therefore, careful planning and strategy on behalf of the JAS PO&G team have been required to make sure the transports have been handled correctly each time, and continue to be handled properly. 

JAS PO&G MENA & PO&G India have transported all of the cargo from the client’s yard to the deep-water port of Hazira located 20 miles southwest of Surat, India. From there, they loaded the cargo onto a self-geared vessel and moved to the Duba Port, 3518 nautical miles away. From the Duba port, the JAS PO&G team received the cargo under the hook and transported the shipment to the destination site, safely and on time, each time. 

For this project, and all projects, the JAS PO&G team works hard to get the project done safely and correctly. Currently, approximately 4300 CBM have been moved for this project with 5200 CMB currently being loaded at the Hazira Port.
