Logistics service provider Kuehne + Nagel (K+N) has launched a new online seafreight booking system called KN Pledge, which allegedly, offers Full Container Load (FCL) shipments with guaranteed lead time, bookable with immediate pricing through the Internet.
Specifically, the KN Pledge guarantees of lead-time and full container transportation. In the possibility of a delay, customers will have the ability to not pay the freight charges according to the company.
Moreover, bookings using the service will be able to avail the extended cargo liability, to more than US$100,000 per container, and carbon footprint options via contributions to the development of four environmental projects in Indonesia, Kenya and Peru.
Otto Schacht, Member of the Managing Board of Kuehne + Nagel International AG, responsible for Seafreight commented on the online booking system that
It enables our customers to receive offers for FCL in addition to LCL shipments within seconds – from virtually any point in the world to any other point with an additional guaranteed lead time. Furthermore, we offset the CO2 footprint for this full container shipment.
