Gulftainer warehousing depot in business<br />
has been snapped up by customers eager<br />
to take advantage of the easy access<br />
location next to the well established<br />
Sharjah ICD (SICD) linked with Khorfakkan<br />
and Sharjah Container Terminals.<br />
The site is also ideally situated away from<br />
the major infrastructure bottle necks in<br />
the UAE and offers close access to the<br />
developing industrial sites and all the<br />
major centres within the UAE.<br />
Peter Richards, Gulftainer director and<br />
general manager commented: 'The<br />
opening of the SICD nearly three years<br />
ago prompted large numbers of<br />
consignees and shippers to re-assess their<br />
transportation needs and it soon became<br />
clear in conversations with them that<br />
many were also looking for more cost<br />
effective and accessible locations for their<br />
warehousing activities."<br />
Gulftainer has announced that its <strong>new</strong><br />
warehousing depot, conveniently situated<br />
on the outskirts of Sharjah and on the<br />
Dubai border, near the Emirates and<br />
'Outer Ring' roads - is now open for business.<br />
Virtually all of the first phase of the<br />
11x8000 and 6000 square feet warehouses,<br />
"We decided to provide these facilities<br />
where our ICD is located and I am<br />
delighted that the response has been very<br />
positive for the initial phase. We are now<br />
assessing the options for Phase 2."<br />
