How Connectivity and Technology
Improve Cargo Logistics
Network connectivity and investing in new technology is enabling
real-time data exchange among cargo handling stakeholders.
BY MARIO PIEROBON
T
he global year-on-year
cargo volume is growing by
around 5 percent in 2024
and the air freight business in the
Middle East, through the opening
months of 2024, has experienced a
45 percent year-on-year increase in
cargo volumes through Dubai.
Given that trade lanes have shifted,
volatility will increase and cargo
handlers like dnata will need to be
even more agile in this situation,
affirms Guillaume Crozier, the company's
senior vice president UAE
cargo and global cargo strategy.
" Some key milestones ahead
include the enforcing of pre-loading
advance cargo information,
highlighting how big data is at
the heart of our industry's evolution.
The demographic is evolving
here in Dubai, which is another
driver in terms of consumption
goods, " he says.
" Towards the end of 2023, we also
saw very solid volumes of e-commerce,
both arriving at and transiting
through Dubai, in time for the
festive season, " Crozier continues.
" We believe this will continue into
2024. There will still be very high-volume
volatility in terms of seasonality,
but also in terms of trade lanes as
they are shifting. New countries are
beginning to export higher volumes
of goods than some existing nations. "
Network Connectivity
Network connectivity is paramount
and is one of the key reasons why
dnata Logistics is an active member
of the World Air Cargo Organization
(WACO), an exclusive network
consisting of several independent
freight management companies
across the world.
" As the world gets more interconnected
and regulations get more

stringent, freight forwarders must
comply with an increasing number
of requirements to clear formalities
with authorities. They need
to gear up their data management
systems (e.g. HS codes, pre-loading
information, e-commerce customs
clearances), as such, software and
data architecture capability becomes
critical, affirms Crozier.
Connectivity is very important,
and it is beneficial for everyone
involved from the shipper to the
forwarder to the end-consumer,
declares Marcel Fujike, global head
of air logistics IT and technology at
Kuehne + Nagel.
" When we have greater end-to-end
visibility, we can take more accurate
decisions and our customers can
plan their supply chains better, or it
can also help us become more cost
efficient and deliver higher quality
solutions to our customers, " he says.
