Blazing a BEE and SHEQ trail

In the process Ezethu Carriers has found itself in the enviable position of being able to take advantage of the proposed B-BBEE codes which could negatively affect some of their competitors. Ezethu Carriers now has an industry-leading B-BBEE level 2 rating, and is positively affected by Cargo Carriers' high SHEQ scores.

It is well positioned to take advantage of the surge in transport logistics for fuels and chemicals which will surely come with the impending infrastructure spend.

Their attractiveness to the fuel and chemical industry also emanates from the fact that these industries, and indeed the mining industry are setting ever increasing standards of SHEQ compliance. Very few transporters can boast the credentials that Ezethu Carriers now hold from both a B-BBEE and a SHEQ point of view, and clients hungry for procurement points, and high safety and reliability levels will cast new eyes in their direction.

Ezethu Carriers, in subsidiary of Cargo Carriers, also means that the company has access to a vast national infrastructure, logistics solutions and IT, and excellent maintenance processes.

In the coming years, these factors will position Ezethu Carriers to consistently broaden their value proposition. In a transport environment that presents ever increasing demands for both reliability and cost effectiveness, this level 2 provider will surely make waves.
