signed by both parties, led by Behram Baluch for Swift, Far East Regional
Director; and Thomas Sim for Topocean Group-Singapore, CEO. Sim, a
well-known personality and one of the industry movers in Singapore,
believes that SAM is the wave of the future. 'With inflation rates hitting alltime
high, businesses are required to look for an efficient multimodal
combined transport that offers a cost-effective way to move cargo - and
SAM answers this concern. We look forward to a mutually beneficial
collaboration with Swift Global Logistics,' related Sim. Swift Global
Logistics is a subsidiary of Swift Freight International, a Dubai-based
freight logistics solutions provider that initiated SAM. SAM moves goods
from the Far East into various destinations into Africa via transshipment in
Dubai. What makes SAM unique is its multimodal combined transport
capability with fixed departure and 6-month advance schedules, enabling
industry players to plan their business cycles better. 'Now that Topocean
Group-Singapore is part of the roster that is authorized to sell SAM, we
are confident that a wider coverage of significant clientele is ensured. We
are hoping that this would be the catalyst to encourage more to become
an authorized SAM Sales Agent,' said Baluch.
