In order to meet the market and shipowner’s demand, Vantage provides logistics services for Ship husbandry serviceIt is very important for ships and cruises to be supplied with necessary stuffs, clean water, fresh foods, fuel… as well as completed customs clearance procedures in a timely and legal manner when berthing in any country. Therefore, the need of having a local service provider capable to provide logistics service for ship husbandry services with cost-effectiveness and timely delivery, as the time of ship berthing in port is rather limited.
Vantage just delivered 2 shipments for 5-star cruise Costa neoRomantica at Da Nang port in February.
The 2 shipments of cosmetic products for Spa were sent from UK (1 package – 119kgs) and US (3 packages – 165kgs) by airway to Danang Airport and delivered onboard by the term of temporary import. Per customs’ regulations, these commodities are subject to Ministry of Industry and Trade’s permission, so upon receiving the information of the shipments, Vantage had proactively applied permit from authority and submitted to Customs to complete the procedures of temporary import at Da Nang Airport. And both shipments were to be physically checked by customs, Vantage’s team actively coordinated with all parties to prepare all necessary documents for customs inspection, preventing any delay that could cause to costs and risk of not catching the cruise before she departs.
Since this is a cruise, her schedule is not fixed so it is a huge pressure on Vantage team to deliver the shipments on-time when the cruise arrives at the port; moreover, the delivery time was right at the time of the acute respiratory infection caused by a new strain of Coronavirus (officially name COVID-19) starting to explode all over the world, the epidemic prevention and control activities were actively deployed on throughout the country so that all procedures relating to delivery and customs clearance are tightened. In the context of both urgent time, and ensuring the health and safety of employees, this is also one of the major difficulties for the team in charge of Vantage.
To do that, Vantage had raced against time as well as actively connected with related parties such as port dispatchers, border guards, and Customs authorities so that the delivery could take place most favorably.
After completing the temporary import procedures, both shipments were delivered to Da Nang port to implement the re-export procedures and loaded on board on February 13, 2020.
Although this is not the large-scale shipment, but due to commodity and peculiar schedule of the cruise, the procedures of receipt and delivery of the shipments were pretty complicated, the on-time delivery of goods as requirements of the shipowner is a testament to the professionalism and devotion to the work and customer’s success of Vantage’s staff.
