Boluda Corporación Marítima made a return visit to the Transport Logistic trade fair in Munich, Germany, in a new biannual edition that took place from 9 to 12 May. The maritime company organised visits, meetings and networking to promote its wide range of logistics services during the four-day event.
The exhibition gathered together more than 1,800 exhibitors from 62 countries and 4,800 visitors, maintaining its position as the logistics sector’s biggest trade fair. The event offered visitors an overview of the entire transport and logistics sector process chain.
The corporation capitalised on the exhibition visit to inform clients about their international expansion plan for integrated multimodal transport services, international goods management and ship towing on both sides of the Atlantic.
Transport Logistic Munich, with an exhibition area of 592,020 square metres, is Europe’s most important logistics sector exhibition in areas such as land and sea transport, terminals, ports, agencies, freight forwarders and containers.
Boluda Corporación Marítima representatives set up meetings with existing and potential future clients to present the global maritime services they provide, as well as competitive services in multimodal logistics.
In the international forum the shipping division Boluda Lines promoted the maritime transport services of its ten commercial lines connecting Spain, France, United Kingdom, Holland, Germany, Italy, Cape Verde and the west coast of Africa, as well as its land and air services.
Likewise, Boluda Lines showcased its expertise throughout the logistics chain with services such as the management of its four maritime terminals, international freight forwarding, project cargo, shipping agency, integrated logistics and warehousing. Boluda Lines’ logistic services also include Boluda Trucks, with a fleet of 50 Volvo trucks, and 130 years’ experience in shipping agency services. This portfolio of comprehensive logistics services represents a major competitive advantage in the sector.
