MAR 01, 2004 (newstodate): Despite soothing words from SAS Cargo, leading Danish transport and logistics provider Wilson Logistics does not see any improvements in the Danish cargo scene, bogged down by the sustained IT migration problems at SAS Cargo's terminal at Copenhagen Airport.
On February 27, SAS Cargo's CEO, Peter Gr�nlund said that "thanks to focussed efforts, the situation is improving by the hour, and the volume of errors is constantly diminishing".
-As of this morning no significant improvement is seen. I would label the current situation as "unstable", says Kim Pedersen, Wilson Logistics deputy managing director.
-Some of our major customers have instructed us to by-pass Copenhagen entirely, while others have left it for us to decide how best to cope, he says.
-The chaotic situation forces the industry to chose more expensive solutions, accept longer leadtimes, and accept more customer claims due to shipments that are temporarily missing for lack of information.
-The only positive thing is that through-pallets still perform relatively well through SAS Cargo at Copenhagen, so we even send pallets that are not fully utilised, which is also not very economical venue.
-We follow developments by the hour to note any change for the better. But we definitely support the initiative taken by the industry's bodies sending a letter last week to protest the situation, and we will indeed follow up on the economic consequences of this prolonged endurance, says Kim Pedersen.
