The folks at Global Trade magazine recently published a new article titled “What’s My Line? Determine Key Factors About Ocean Carriers Before Answering That.” The article discusses how shippers can work with 3PLs to better educate themselves on ocean carrier options and ensure they’re using the best carrier to suit their needs. Since Logistics Plus is an experienced ocean freight forwarder and NVOCC, it made perfect sense that the author, Craig Guillot, should interview Yuriy Ostapyak, director of global operations for Logistics Plus, for the finished piece.

Earlier this month, Logistics Plus had the honor of hosting a visit from Richard (Dick) Armstrong, the Chairman of Armstrong & Associates. Armstrong & Associates, Inc. (A&A) was established in 1980 to meet the needs of a newly deregulated domestic transportation market. Since then, through its leading third-party logistics (3PL) market research and history of helping companies outsource logistics functions, A&A has become an internationally recognized key information resource for 3PL market research and consulting. A&A publishes the Who’s Who in Logistics and Supply Chain Management Guide and various other often-cited industry research studies and white papers.
According to its website, A&A’s personnel visit many third-party logistics providers in its Who’s Who in Logistics Online Guide. This allows them to objectively assess a 3PL’s operations and form a basis for the “Editorial Comments” sections of its 3PL profiles (which are available for purchase online). Dick Armstrong spent two-days interviewing key Logistics Plus employees, observing our operations, and learning about all the things we do to support our customers’ supply chains. One of the deliverables from Dick’s visit is a basic case study profiling Logistics Plus. That case study has been published on the publicly-accessible section if the A&A website and distributed to its many constituents. You can read that online case study here: http://www.3plogistics.com/3pl-case-studies/logistics-plus/ (or by clicking the image below).
