Cardinal Maritime South Africa, hosted a Golf Day for their clients at the popular Beechwood Country Club. The Durban weather provided the perfect backdrop of blue skies and  sunshine as the golfers enjoyed their rounds. The winners were as follows : 3rd Place was Stuart Giles and Partner / Second place was Andre de Kock and Jason Biddulph /1st prize was Alex Hill and Partner. Below are some pics of the day!

And with no scorching Durban sun , holding her back, Thanda, the Queen of Selfies, scooped the title of EOTM once again. Thanda was chosen for stepping up and making sure that the clients needs were put first. We are very happy to have someone with your work ethic on board , as customer service is one of the key elements of success in this industry. Woohoo Thanda…come on, we sure have one more spot for a selfie….

The Finance Dept is proving to be a force to reckon with this year. Roseanna was once again “crowned” EOTM for her willingness and taking on more than what was designated. Excellent Job Roseanna.You have definitely made your team proud!

Within just months of joining our team, Thanda was announced as Employee of the Month. Well done Thanda and we’re glad that you was our first choice.  When asked how she felt on her win, Thanda was quoted saying “ I was ecstatic when I  landed this position and am really looking forward to the beginning of my career in the shipping industry” and before we got any further comments , she rushed out to take a selfie!

Our monthly award of Excellence has been awarded to Mr Bala Nair and his team namely Mr Hemant Patel, Mr Kiran Mhatre and Mr Pawan Gupta, our partner agent in India. Normally our employer of the month award is only given to our local team for outstanding work and service excellence. However in this case we were so overwhelmed by the level of commitment and dedication that it was only fitting that these fine gentleman be awarded the title!

The stakes were high, 3 different suppliers and 5 different orders all extremely urgent and the penalties for late delivery always a reminder of the severe consequences. All the suppliers confirmed delivery in order to make the cut of time of the sailing and in this case we were to load two containers, both a 40GP and a 20GP. At the last minute one supplier could not deliver their order on time resulting in the whole planning of the two containers being affected. The result was only one container was loaded to leave and the balance of the cargo would have to rolled over to the following weeks sailing.  Of course we could not accept this outcome and had to find a solution. With time being of the essence and the outlook looking more and more grim it looked as there was no way out of the predicament. Then a breakthrough…through  the combined effort of our agent and special request to the shipping line, they managed to pack another console with all the cargo onto the same sailing as originally planned, two days after the cut off period! Needless to say the consignee was overjoyed and everyone involved was extremely pleased at the fine efforts.

A very big thank you to Global Logistics on your outstanding work
