The contract, which runs for two years, will see TNT transport thousands of shipments to support the production of up to 1 million tonnes of hot metal per year.
TNT was selected through a rigorous process and was awarded the contract as a result of offering the best cost and service advantages to Dubal.
James Edgeworth, National Major Account Manager, TNT UAE, suggested that "TNT has worked hard to produce a winning solution for Dubal. We presented express and economy express options to Dubal instead of the usual single service option given by others."
TNT's Economy Express service offers a deferred transit time in return for cost-savings over the faster Express service. A. Vijayanarayanan, Dubal's Head of Contract Services, commented that "Dubal's requirements are demanding in scope and we felt that TNT's approach was ahead of the pack in terms of flexibility and service advantages".
