he Irish national company within the Rhenus Group has signed an agreement
on 3 August 2018 to acquire Avant Air and Sea, subject to CCPC consent, and therefore has expanded its presence in Ireland. Avant Air and Sea specialises in temperature- controlled and pharmaceutical shipments as well as hazardous consignments. Avant Air and Sea, which has its
headquarters in Dublin, is a leading logistics company on the island and has been providing sea and air freight services and cross-border services for imports and exports since 1990.

In future, the company will operate within the Rhenus Group under the name Avant Rhenus. The Rhenus-Group’s presence in Ireland dates back more than 30 years, when it was part of Hamann International, which was integrated into the Rhenus-Group in 2006.

Statement by Seamus Leheny, FTA's Northern Ireland manager: The news the £130 million improvement scheme to Belfast's York Street is facing delays due to errors in its procurement strategy has been met with frustration by the Freight Transport Association (FTA), an organisation representing more than 17,000 businesses across the UK logistics sector.

of traffic which can cause long delays to all road users whether they are commercial vehicle operators, public transport or private car drivers and it wasn't a sustainable system. By improving journey time reliability, traffic flow and lowering emissions, the project was set to help commercial vehicle operators move goods across Northern Ireland more swiftly and efficiently boosting the Northern Ireland economy in the process. Yet again the scheme faced

appointed a contractor. Every day the project is delayed, Belfast's roads become more congested and difficult to navigate. As commercial vehicle operators continue to face unnecessarily long journey times, the industry's ability to move goods across the North efficiently becomes compromised. As a region, in terms of connectivity and infrastructure we also continue to fall behind the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain which is a significant influencing factor for inward investment.
