CARGO SERVICES FAR EAST SELECTS HONG KONG INTERNET SYSTEM

   Cargo Services Far East Ltd., a Hong Kong-based freight forwarder, has selected Arena, a logistics software company, to provide an Internet paper-free system.
   The system will link shippers to Cargo Services, enabling them to submit electronic shipping instructions and receive electronic bill of lading information.
   Arena said that a significant amount of information between the various trade-related documents is essentially the same. Retention of the data eliminates errors, inefficiencies and costs in duplicating documents, the company said.
   The Internet system also connects with Tradelink, the electronic data interchange community system of Hong Kong.
