Gordon, Grant & Co. Ltd.

Cargo loss is a significant issue that impacts businesses of all sizes across various industries. Mr. Rhett Chee Ping, Managing Director of Gordon Grant & Company, sheds light on the issue and shares insights from his extensive experience in the logistics industry. . Estimates suggest that there are annual losses exceeding $10 billion USD globally, with stolen/damaged goods disrupting businesses and impacting revenue and customer satisfaction. High-value items like electronics, pharmaceuticals, food & beverages are particularly targeted due to their resale value. "Vessel accidents, human error, and bad weather, in addition to port damages to containers, are also factors we look out for when shipping cargo," shares Mr. Chee Ping, “It has been getting better over the years due to technology and equipment, but nevertheless ‘accidents happen’.” . Being aware of and understanding cargo loss and damage is important, as it supports industries in finding ways to mitigate this loss at every turn. When asked about an immediate solution, Mr.Chee Ping advised, "We highly recommend taking out comprehensive insurance to cover your major shipments, as no matter how many precautions you take, you cannot predict what will happen once cargo is out of your control." This precaution provides an additional layer of security, ensuring that businesses are prepared for any eventuality. “At Gordon, Grant we also meticulously monitor weather conditions and implement rigorous protocols to minimize human error. Your logistics company should always be working to be proactive rather than reactive,” Mr.Chee Ping elaborates. . Cargo loss remains a complex issue in the globalized world. Understanding the scope and causes of the problem is crucial for businesses to navigate the risks and implement strategies to minimize losses and ensure the smooth operation of their supply chain. Opting for comprehensive insurance coverage is one of the most effective steps companies can take to protect their assets—partnering with an experienced logistics company is a close second. #CaroLoss #GlobalShipping #Logistics #ShippingCommunity

Did You Know: Recent updates to road traffic regulations have increased fines for tinted windows in Trinidad & Tobago. As part of our ongoing commitment to keep you informed, we want to share this important update from the Ministry of Transport with you! . But why is there so much conversation about dark tints on vehicles? Tinted windows have become a popular trend for many drivers, offering benefits such as reduced glare from the sun and added privacy. . However, excessively dark tints can pose significant safety concerns. They can reduce visibility for drivers, making it harder to see pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. In addition, dark tints can obstruct law enforcement officers' ability to see inside the vehicle, which is crucial for safety and security reasons. . These regulations are designed to enhance road safety for everyone. By ensuring that all drivers have clear visibility and that law enforcement can effectively perform their duties, these rules aim to reduce the risk of accidents and improve overall public safety. . If you have any questions about how these changes might affect your coverage or need advice on ensuring your vehicle complies with the new regulations, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team at GG Insurance. . . . #RoadSafety #TrafficRegulations #TintedWindows #InsuranceSupport #StayInformed #TrindiadInsurnace

Here are our port locations, where every shipment sets sail and docks! 🚢 • ⚓️ From departure to arrival, these are the gateways to seamless logistics. This is how it works: -Your shipment arrives at one of the following ports. If it is a full container, it goes through the regular channels for clearance on the port. -If you are collecting less than a container load of goods, your shipment is then sent to the bonded unstuffing facilities of the respective port, or private facility. -At the bonded unstuffing facility, contents of the container are offloaded and an appointment is scheduled for each customer to clear cargo. -On the day of clearance, cargo is inspected by Customs in the presence of the customer and once all is confirmed to be in order – the cargo is then released! • • • #GGLogistics #GordonGrant #PortLocations #ShippingHub #TrinidadandTobago #CaribbeanShipping #TrinidadExpact #TrinidadBusiness
