OWL starts air cargo service

Baer

   Ocean World Lines, a Lake Success, N.Y.-based non-vessel-operating common carrier, has started an air freight consolidation service.
   The service, OWL AIR, covers routes worldwide with a major focus between Asia, Europe and North America, and includes air freight personnel based at each of its offices. OWL's air freight services include cargo pickup and consolidation, trucking, warehousing, cargo packing and crating, cargo insurance, cargo de-consolidation and distribution.
   'Our ocean clients have been asking for air freight moves so we hired the best people in the industry and now have our own in-house capabilities, making us a more well-rounded service provider,' said Alan Baer, president of OWL.
   'Now when our clients have a seasonal delivery or critical deadline that calls for the speed of air freight, they don't have to waste time calling multiple suppliers,' he added.
   OWL's new air service is supported by the NVO’s OWL360' information system, which provides comprehensive details of all freight moves.
