• A key competency at Paccon is our project cargo experience. Whether it's a one-off shipment or a long term project, we are well versed in understanding the dynamics of project shipments whether it is taking control ex suppliers works and delivering to door at destination or acting as a local partner for the lead project managers.
• Africa as an emerging market with a long history of little or no infrastructural development spending is always an interesting place for business. With the variety of challenges involved in projects in Africa, it's good to know that you're dealing with a local company with African roots and on the ground experience.
• No two projects are the same and adaptability is important as is assembling and managing the various 3rd party sub-contractors - from cargo surveyors, to abnormal transport operators and border agents.

• FCL and break-bulk seafreight – through strong relationships with selected shipping lines, we are able to provide clients with a personalised freight brokerage service across all trades to / from South Africa.

• We offer general freight forwarding services between any two points in the international trading environment, be it in its longest natural form from ex works at the supplier’s premises through to delivered at consignee door duty paid or any shorter journey in-between. Depending on the terms of sale, Incoterms 2000, our involvement is flexible but always with the same levels of commitment.

• We have recently moved into new offices premises incorporating a warehouse in a joint venture with a client. The facility, which will be managed by Paccon, provides 1650 sqm with 2 covered dock-levelers and separate ramp access, supported by a yard of 800 sqm with drive in/out access for super-links. The warehouse has been approved for the handling of foodgrade cargoes by the Health Department. At present it is a “free store” but will in due course have a bonded section as well. Security is in the form of manned gate access during the day with CCTV to monitor movement of people and product. After hours the CCTV monitoring continues with infra-red motion sensors which are supported by a motion sensitive alarm system and armed response services in the event of a break-in.

• An often overlooked aspect of international trade, marine insurance is the not the expensive luxury that many cargo owners believe it to be. In fact marine insurance should be considered as a defacto part of your international trading or shipping activities even if it is your own equipment being moved to a contract site in some far of land as opposed to a commercial sale of goods.
• As a licensed marine insurance broker, we can advise on your requirements and have direct access to a range of the top experts in the field.
• We have partnered with Eikos Risk Applications (Pty) Ltd whom we believe to be the most innovative provider of marine related insurance services.
