About your company
Bensenville, Illinois · minutes from O'Hare
Chicago is the inland hub our US cargo most often needs, and you sit beside the airport it moves through. You run AOG, next flight out and on-board courier, 24 hours a day — we run AOG 24/7 out of Dubai. Time-critical, pharma and dangerous goods are the three that most forwarders quietly decline. That is an unusually exact match, and it is why we wanted this call.

Why we are writing to you
More cargo leaves the UAE for the United States than for any other country on our books. And the bigger half of this lane starts at your end — 116 of the 196 TEU, and 78 of the 82 tonnes of air, move from the United States into the Gulf.
Until now this cargo has moved through whichever agent the customer or the shipping line nominated. We are building our own partner network in the United States instead. That is the whole reason for this conversation.
The cargo, by country
Sea, in TEU · from our own book of business
Air adds a further 82 tonnes on the same lane, and 78 of those 82 move from the United States into the Gulf. Our whole Gulf book runs to roughly 3,900 TEU and 765 tonnes of air freight.
Where we are strongest
Jeddah · Riyadh · Dammam — our own offices
Importing into Saudi Arabia is not simple. The paperwork is strict and it is where most forwarders lose time. Most send the cargo to the Gulf and hope somebody handles it. We have our own staff at the other end, in all three cities.
What we are asking for
Your strongest gateways
Where your import volume actually lands, and where you would rather we did not send you cargo.
Import charges
One 40' container at your main gateway, port to port and delivered, so we can compare like for like.
Clearance and inland
Whether you handle customs clearance and delivery yourselves, or pass them on.
Who answers rate requests
A name, and how quickly. That matters to us more than the number itself.
We would rather send you a real live enquiry than a forecast. The first shipment will tell both of us more than any presentation.
