DHL, the Middle East’s leading logistics solutions provider, recently moved some of the most high value freight it has ever handled, when it teamed up with Porsche Middle East to airlift two demonstration models from its luxury range of cars from Dubai to Bahrain.
The $480,000 load a Carrera GT, Porsche’s ultimate supercar, and 911 Carrera S – was air freighted into Bahrain in time for an exclusive exhibition tour of the International Circuit in front of Porsche enthusiasts. The Bahrain demonstration was part of a Middle East roadshow by Porsche for which DHL masterminded the intra Middle East logistics.
Mr. Shamil Habib, DHL’s Industrial Development Manager for the UAE, said: “The Porsche roadshow demonstrated again why DHL is the clear leader in complete logistics solutions. The group’s vast experience of such events and of the region, our team’s knowledge and expertise, and our commitment to our customers’ requirements guarantee that we are consistently able to deliver the premium service the company is renowned for and our clients expect.
“We offer tailor-made solutions, as we take full ownership of such projects. This partnership with Porsche was a case in point. We masterminded the entire logistics operation, ensuring the co-ordination and delivery of the cars for Porsche Middle East.
“This included everything, from insuring the cars, to planning a route and preparing the necessary export documents. We appointed a dedicated team to handle the job, led by one of our experts. Porsche could leave all the details in our hands confident that we would deliver on every count.”
Once the cars arrived in Manama, DHL moved them to the Bahrain International Circuit where they were able to show their paces around the track.
Mr. Amaury La Fonta, Marketing Manager for Porsche Middle East, said: “We received an overwhelming response from the people who came to see the cars and of course we are grateful to DHL for its contribution in getting the vehicles here.
“DHL’s track record and professional approach made us confident that the project would be completed as planned. So we were delighted that they were, once again, our logistics partner for a formidable task.”
Mr. Habib added: “We pride ourselves on giving our customers an unmatchable service and total peace of mind. The quality of our bespoke service and our unrivalled experience of such high profile projects explain why customers come back to us time and time again.” (menareport.com)
