Members of the Logistics Plus China team recently attended a three day international transportation conference. From December 6th to 8th, the LP China team participated in the 2019 Zhejiang International Intelligent Transportation Industry Expo, the Future Transportation Conference 2019, and the Yangtze River Delta Region Comprehensive Transportation Development Forum. All three events were hosted at the Hangzhou International Exhibition Center. For the duration of the conference, Logistics Plus was proudly displayed with an international enterprise exhibition area and branded booth.
At the conference, Logistics Plus was recognized as a leading freight forwarder due to its wide-range of capabilities and service offerings. The Logistics Plus China team welcomed and held numerous meetings with companies located across Zhejiang province, and built good relationships for future business opportunities. One major person of note, the Principal of Transportation and Communication, visited the Logistics Plus booth to express his gratitude to the team and to invite Logistics Plus to participate again next year.

In case you missed the first month update, Pieterjan (PJ) De Smedt, a close friend of Global Project Manager Frederik Geirnaert, set sail with his family of five on a trip from Greece to Australia. After hearing about this journey, Logistics Plus offered to equip his ship with one of our own tracking devices to showcase our tracking and visibility capabilities.
Month 2 Update: This month, the dauntless crew of the Vite-et-Reves crossed the western Mediterranean Sea. Crossing the sea in this case meant playing a constant game of hide and seek with thunderstorms. When mother nature called, the crew took cover for each storm and tried to make the best of it by visiting historic places or doing mundane chores such as washing clothes, repairing the ship, or shopping for groceries.
The second month of this long voyage (tracked by Logistics Plus) saw the crew travel from Sicily to Sardinia, and then on to Menorca and the party island that is Ibiza. Pictures from month two of their adventure can be seen below.
President Trump has accused Brazil, Argentina, and France of economic actions that he believes disadvantage U.S. companies and American farmers. The President announced Monday that the U.S. will be reimposing steel and aluminum tariffs on these three countries, opening new trade war fronts.
The President also stated that the Federal Reserve should, “act so that countries, of which there are many, no longer take advantage of our strong dollar by further devaluing their currencies.” Compared to the U.S. dollar, Brazilian currency has fallen about 8% this year and Argentinian currency has lost 37% of its value.
