Kuehne + Nagel has launched KN Pledge, an offering it claims is the first online solution for Full Container Load (FCL) shipments with guaranteed lead time, 100% money back guarantee, extended cargo liability, instant pricing, and carbon footprint offset all integrated in one service offering.
KN Pledge aims to provides peace of mind for the customer’s supply chain with a guaranteed lead time for full container transportation that covers all delivery combinations from port-to-port to door-to-door. In the event that a delay becomes unavoidable, customers who have booked KN Pledge will not pay the freight charges.
The service promise also contains an extended cargo liability covering a wide range of causes or damage with up to $100,000 per container. Causes covered include amongst others fire, explosion, act of God and act of war.
KN Pledge is an additional extension of Kuehne + Nagel’s online quote, book and track capabilities. It allows customers to easily receive instant, automated quotations, book their FCL shipments and track their cargo in one place.
Otto Schacht, Member of the Managing Board of Kuehne + Nagel International AG, responsible for Seafreight, said, “We are proud to be the first in seafreight logistics to provide this innovative and comprehensive pledge to our customers. What is special about this Kuehne + Nagel online service solution is that it enables our customers to receive offers for FCL in addition to LCL shipments within seconds – from virtually any point in the world to any other point with an additional guaranteed lead time. Furthermore, we offset the CO2 footprint for this full container shipment.”
