About Arkas Line, Globy Logistic Tools, Arkas Container Trackin
Arkas Line was founded in the early twentieth century by Gabriel Arcas and was originally based in Izmir, Turkey. In the mid-forties, Lucien G. Arcas revised the company's policy and decided to narrow down the range of activities, focusing on transportation to other countries. In 1964, his son Lucien Arkas became the head of the company (he heads Arkas Holding to this day). Interestingly, fifteen years later, the company was renamed Arkas Shipping & Transport S. A. The organization began working with global shipping companies, providing them with agency services. In 1996, the president of the holding company established a subsidiary company, Emes Shipping, which was engaged in feeder services; now it is called Emes Feeding (EF) with its headquarters in Genoa.
Lucien Arkas' business developed and soon became focused on Liner services; as a result, Arkas Line (AL) was established in 2009 with headquarters in Istanbul. The main advantages of the company are listed below:
- one of the most reliable carriers at the moment;
- one of the 40 largest global shipping companies in terms of cargo volume;
- fleet consists of 31 vessels (20 AL vessels, 11 EF vessels);
- 64 terminals in different countries of the world;
- serves the Black Sea, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, Africa, Europe, and the East Coast of America.
Ordering Goods on Globy Marketplace and Logistic Tools
If you want to purchase goods in bulk on the internet, then we recommend Globy B2B Marketplace, which offers a broad range of machinery parts, chemicals, paint and varnish materials, computing equipment, sportswear, children's educational games, and much more. To get started on Globy, you would just fill out a form with your company's details. We remind you that the B2B model is only suitable for legal entities, meaning you need to be a company representative in order to make wholesale transactions. Individuals can purchase goods in small wholesale or retail only in B2C stores.
In addition to the marketplace, Globy has logistical tools. Let's take a closer look at them. The Loading calculator helps you to place goods inside containers in an optimal way. The freight calculator is used to find the charterer. If you need to find a carrier, you would go to the appropriate section and enter the dates, the port from which the cargo will be shipped, and the destination port. You should not forget to select the type of container and its size. We recommend the FCL type of transportation so that only your goods are in one container. Such shipments are easier to track.
Arkas Container Tracking: Free Tool for B2B Buyers
During transportation, there may be a situation when the ship with your cargo is delayed en route. There are many reasons for the delay: problems with passage through the straits, long document checks at the port, customs inspection of cargo, emergencies, bad weather conditions, etc. It is in the best interests of the buyer to learn about the delay in time in order to take urgent action to resolve the problem. You can track a cargo ship using the Globy logistics tool, which is very easy to use. To start tracking, you need to open Arkas Container Tracking and fill in two required fields: "bill of lading number" (or the number of a separate container) and "carrier" (for example, Arkas Line). After that, you can set up notifications.
