I would like to take this opportunity commend FATS, it’s staff & the management.
I have been using FATS services in excess of 10 years, and have always found their service excellent, whilst keeping their charges competitive compared with other service providers.
FATS’ handing of my cargo transiting through South Africa, en-route to Zambia, including unpacking containers, handling, storage & loading breakbulk onto trucks, has always been efficient, executed with care and well communicated with myself via FATS’ comprehensive daily tracking emailed to myself.
I would like to assure you that FATS will always handle my cargo from South Africa to Zambia.
