Logistics
For each bulk commodity expedition, IGR designs multimodal logistic systems to optimise economies of scale and reduce shipment costs. Our logistics team selects the most efficient and cost-effective transportation for each stage along the supply chain Our multimodal logistic system optimises transfer of shipments between the different modes of transport. These may be situated inland or at the coast.
We physically participate in in-country logistics, visit and validate supply sources and provide integrated solutions. Our team of experts work with our customers to understand their needs. We market research and collaborate with our existing networks and new supply sources. We evaluate options and choose the right logistic solution and deliver commodities to our customers safe and timely.
We understand that ocean vessels are interchangeable but port facilities are not. For ocean freight, we use:
Time charter for long-term contracts
Voyage charter for short-term contracts and purchase orders

We build long-term sustainable relationships with our vessel partners. This enables us to deliver our cargo and berth at the load port locations at the agreed times. We deliver to promise!
