Cargo Connection Logistics - International Signs Letter of Intent With Vietnam-Based M&S VTEC Shipping
Cargo Connection Logistics Holding, Inc. (OTCBB: CRGO) (BERLIN: CD6) (FRANKFURT: 217026) today announced that
representatives of its wholly owned subsidiary, Cargo Connection Logistics
- International, Inc. have signed their first Letter of Intent (LOI) with
Vietnamese-based company, M&S VTEC SHIPPING LTD. The company will use
Cargo Connection Logistics - International as its receiving agent in the
United States. Cargo Connection Logistics - International believes this
joint venture will begin to generate revenue almost immediately.
M&S Shipping PLC was established approximately 50 years ago in the United
Kingdom and in 1995 the company was renamed M&S Shipping Group. Up until
now their primary focus has been on Western and Eastern Europe. M&S VTEC
Shipping LTD is a joint venture between M&S Shipping Company and the
Vietnamese Government-owned garment factories.
"The Vietnamese Market will be the first of the Asian markets to begin
shipping into the United States using the Cargo Connection Logistics
network as its infrastructure within the United States," said David Quach,
President of Cargo Connection Logistics - International. "The Vietnamese
government is investing heavily into its infrastructure to promote growth.
We are expecting to receive shipments that are both Less than Container
Loads (LCL) and Full Container Loads (FCL). Cargo Connection Logistics
expects to be a participant in all aspects of merchandise being exported
from Vietnam into the United States.
"As promised, this is the first signing of an agreement of which we expect
will be several more agreements over the next few weeks," said Quach, who
was part of the Cargo Connection Logistics contingent that visited the
Southeast Asian country earlier this year. "We expect that our extensive
experience working with the fashion business, coupled with the systems we
have in place to support this type of enterprise, will make this a very
successful venture."
With nearly 84 million people, Vietnam is the 15th largest country in the
world, larger than the industrialized nations of Germany, France, Italy and
the United Kingdom.
