Project Cargo Network turns 1

The Project Cargo Network (PCN), a fast-growing association for heavy and OOG forwarders, celebrated its first birthday last week. PCN has grown fast and strong over the past 12 months, with membership now standing at 91 in 53 countries and still growing. It has been careful to only recruit agents who have proven expertise and experience in handling full-blown project cargo/heavy lift shipments, restricting membership to three per country (five in the US, Brazil, Australia, Canada, India and China).

To ensure that PCN has recruited the right companies in each country, an annual Quality Control Survey provides it with a helpful snapshot of how companies are performing within the network. The next survey will be sent out in January 2012 and will be particularly important as it will give members the chance to express their views on their fellow overseas partners for the first time.
