Our charter solution offer a solution in several finish . We can extend more capacitance and fixed rates . Customers roll in the hay that foregone conclusion , " Ivo explains .
Much meliorate reefer equipment availabilityHis fellow , Mario Volkers , who is responsible for sea freight at DHL , also sees percipient differences in the marketplace . " Sailings from South America are currently a especially hot topic , and transportation companies have organized several additional routes .
