Highlights

Globelink is one of the market leader in LCL consolidation services.

Part of the leadership includes handling of Dangerous Goods (DG)

cargo in addition to general cargo.

DG Cargo with its sensitive nature, if not properly controlled,

presents a potential hazard to human health and safety,

infrastructure and/ or their means of transport.

Responding to the nature of this cargo type, our Group leverages

on our current expertise to ensure a seamless CFS to CFS handling

of DG cargo which gives us a competitive edge in this market.

There are 9 classes of DG cargo, and in general we can accept

these 3 classes for LCL:

Class 3: Flammable Liquids

Class 8: Corrosives

Class 9: Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods
