Cargo Connection Logistics -- International First International Shipment Arrives in the United States Containers From Vietnam Received at the Port of Oakland
INWOOD, NY, Jul 17, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc. (OTCBB: CRGO) (BERLIN: CD6.BE) (FRANKFURT: 217026) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Cargo Connection Logistics -- International, Inc., has been tracking its first containers of cargo from Vietnam and that they have arrived in the United States.
"The freight arrived in the United States on July 12th and has been successfully delivered to the Consignee, through the Port of Oakland," said David Quach, President of Cargo Connection Logistics -- International, Inc. "This officially marks Cargo Connection Logistics' entry into the International arena. As we continue to expand, we expect that many shippers will take advantage of the Cargo Connection Logistics Network and its strong infrastructure within the United States."
We expect that our extensive experience and expertise in the fashion business, as well as the information systems we have in place will support this business. We believe that these characteristics are exactly what will continue to make this a very successful venture," continued Quach. This shipment was paid for prior to the freight being delivered to Consignee.
Quach also said, "Cargo Connection Logistics -- International, Inc. is aggressively pursuing other agreements with several companies in Vietnam. The company expects to formalize these pursuits over the coming weeks." The Cargo Connection Logistics network has focused on the Vietnamese market for several reasons. These include a significant increase in new factories, which is partly fueled by a robust and inexpensive labor market. Another reason is the rapid expansion of the Vietnamese Port System and Vietnam's upcoming membership into the World Trade Organization (WTO).
The Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that, "Vietnam has also made substantial preparatory steps for its active international economic integration in key service sectors like telecom, distribution, financial services in accordance with international standards. Vietnam has so far offered commitments in 11 service sectors and approximately over 100 service sub-sectors in its WTO accession negotiations." (See; Vietnam is prepared for WTO membership)
"Vietnam is rapidly becoming a leading source for retailers looking for high-quality production of furniture, toys and clothing at very competitive rates," said David Quach.
"The Vietnamese government is heavily investing in its infrastructure in order to promote internal and international growth," said Jesse Dobrinsky, CEO of Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc. "We are expecting to receive shipments that are Full Container Loads (FCL) as well as Less than Container Loads (LCL). Cargo Connection Logistics expects to be a participant in all aspects of merchandise being exported from Vietnam, which is one of the 15 largest countries in the world." Dobrinsky went on to say, "We expect to continue bringing Vietnamese freight into the United States and for this venture to be a continued success."
