Red Sea disruptions continue to affect Global Supply Chains

The Red Sea disruptions are still having an impact on global supply chains.

This shipping crisis is a result of Houthi rebel attacks on cargo ships and tankers. As there seems no end to these increasing attacks, more and more shipping companies are being forced to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope, southern Africa, to avoid the Suez Canal one of the world’s most important waterways.

The diversion adds about 6,000 nautical miles to a typical journey from Asia to Europe, potentially adding around 2 weeks to delivery schedules.

International Freight Solutions will continue to monitor the delays and adjustments in rates. However, we strongly encourage suppliers to be pro-active and secure bookings well in advance.

International Freight Solutions are keeping a close eye on this global situation and will endeavour to keep our customers abreast of any updates to report. IFS understand the impact of these developments on our customers and are committed to offering your business help and support during this time.

I was engaged for rapid deployment of contract works in Falun, Sweden which required me to ship some materials to Sweden for the works to be executed. After nothing but extreme pain from the suppliers to get my goods to Sweden, I reached out to International Freight Solutions off the back of reviewing public feedback about their services. I could not have been happier. The team I was dealing with (Jamie and Adam) went above and beyond to guide me on what I needed (EORI number and everything else), kept me updated for the entire cycle of collection, shipping and delivery that I was always up to date and never concerned. Payment and any extra fees for customs or services was all straight forward. It really is this kind of service where there are no grey areas, total professional advice upfront and continued updates maintained, start to finish. For this, it makes me comfortable that future shipping will be trouble-free and I will certainly head straight back to IFS. Thanks Jamie and Adam. Back from Sweden tomorrow. Without your efforts, this would not have even started and got off the ground!

Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to leave a really great and detailed review - it means a lot to us! Jamie and Adam will be pleased with the mention too! We really look forward to assisting you again next time.

I would like to give a special positive review to Catherine Gibson our account manager. Catherine's communication is great along with her speedy competitive quotes. Her communication and updates with our air / sea imports are always up to date and accurate. We have been using International Freight Solutions for well over 12 months now and look forward to many more years working together.

Keep up the good work !!!!

I can’t recommend this company highly enough.
I had no idea what was involved in shipping large items internationally but Jamie led me through the whole process going above and beyond to help me from collection to delivery.
Great service throughout.
Thank you so much Jamie.
