Logistics Projects

AMS is always interested in new projects - whether at the concept stage or the stage of  practical implementation on the ground.


Multimodal insurance projects

Peter Astbury was part of the concept team and subsequently responsible for the management of a project to handle all of the cargo claims of a leading international  multimodal and logistics operator at the point of presentation any where in the world.  He  was part of another concept team that looked at new  insurance solutions for multimodal  operators including seamless covers  such as. insurances which seek to cover the entire  scope of a multimodal carrier's operating liabilities   - ship operating, terminals, trucking, rail,  barge, warehousing, inventory management, 'Just in time' commitments and so on - under a single policy.

Port and local logistic and infra structure audits.

AMS has been on the ground investigating rail, barge and trucking practicalities and  potentials in post- Saddam Hussein Iraq and performed a detailed audit of Mogadishu port infrastructure and management.
 
AMS has good contacts in the logistics industry in Pakistan - an industry which is likely to enjoy exponential growth if peace of a sort continues to break out in the area.  Pakistan is  presently experiencing an  export boom. It remains one of the key historical gateways to  Afghanistan and the Central Asian Republics. It is the natural point of entry for aid cargoes flooding into Afghanistan and this trade will increase as and when commercial traffic takes  over.

The Pakistan logistics industry will also benefit if/when the border between Pakistan and India re-opens to reciprocal  cargo transit. Karachi will then become a natural gateway  for much of north and north west India. Opening the border will also make the much-planned Asia / Europe highway a practical possibility.

AMS is well placed to help clients explore all these exciting prospects.
