In the face of a global supply chain crisis, Vantage Logistics has demonstrated exceptional capability and resilience, successfully transporting two high-value hazardous goods projects from Haiphong to Australia. Despite numerous challenges, the company’s dedication to excellence ensured all shipments were delivered on time, exceeding client expectations.
 

• Massive Shipment Amid Supply Chain Constraints​

In early May 2024, Vantage was entrusted with a monumental task: the shipment of nearly 700 forty-foot containers, including hazardous goods, over a three-month period from July to September. With a weekly volume of 50-60 containers, the project coincided with the peak shipping season, characterized by tight capacity, equipment shortages, and increased costs.
Further complicating the situation was severe port congestion in Singapore, a critical transit hub for Australia-bound cargo, where over 60% of vessels faced delays. Additionally, most carriers implemented a Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) of USD 1,000 per container starting July 1, further inflating costs.

• Overcoming Typhoon Yagi and Operational Halts

In September, Northern Vietnam was hit by historic Typhoon Yagi, causing significant disruptions to factories, terminals, and ports. With operations stalled for a week and a looming September 30 deadline, over 200 containers remained to be shipped.
To overcome these unprecedented obstacles, Vantage swiftly developed a contingency plan. Leveraging chartered vessels, the company secured critical space for nearly 200 containers, ensuring timely delivery despite limited equipment and carrier restrictions.

• A Team Effort for Exceptional Results

The Vantage team worked tirelessly, navigating long hours and weekend shifts to coordinate bookings, secure equipment, and manage operations. Their relentless efforts culminated in the successful, on-time delivery of all containers. This remarkable achievement reinforced the company’s reputation as a reliable logistics partner.
“If there is any problem, it must be solved with the client’s priorities in mind,” said Mrs. Florence, Vice Chairman of Vantage Logistics. This philosophy guided the team’s commitment to overcoming every challenge and delivering exceptional service.

• Building a Foundation of Trust and Quality

These shipments stands as a testament to Vantage’s teamwork, creativity, and dedication. Despite an impossible situation, the company’s resourcefulness ensured client satisfaction and strengthened its position as a leading global logistics provider. Vantage remains steadfast in its mission to tackle even more complex challenges, setting a benchmark for excellence in the logistics industry.
