CN WorldWide, a subsidiary of CN, North America’s leading railroad, offers global freight forwarding and international door-to-door shipping.
Launched in 2005, CN WorldWide has expanded to 18 offices in 10 countries in North America, China, Latin and South Americas, and Western and Central Europe. The company provides a wide range of transportation and distribution options for bulk, container, LCL, (less than container load), and dimensional shipments (equipment and vehicles).
CN WorldWide has offices in 5 cities in China, with the head office for Asia in Shanghai and secondary offices in Shenzhen, Beijing, Tianjin, and Qingdao. In addition, CN WorldWide has moved beyond the Chinese ports and now offers its expertise and services inland. Using its considerable logistics and rail transportation expertise, CN WorldWide offers door-to-door delivery between inland China and inland Canada. “Receivers or shippers in China often have to deal with two companies, one for inland China and another for the Pacific and inland North America,” said Global Managing Director, Anita Ernesaks. “We are a one-stop shop. At the same time, we are diversified in terms of commodity mix as well as origins in China and destinations in Canada in order to serve the major markets.”
CN WorldWide, in addition to eastbound traffic flows from Asia, has solid experience in the westbound movement of North American exports including pulp, grain and sulphur.”
CN WorldWide prides itself on its ability to make international business easy for its customers. “The international supply chain is very complicated when you think about getting a product from origin to destination using different modes through different countries,” says Ms. Ernesaks. “At CN WorldWide, we offer simplicity.” Rail, trucking, vessels, port handling, warehousing, and customs are handled with only one point of contact, one rate, and one bill of lading. The company also provides value-added information about where a product is and how to link up sellers and buyers.
CN WorldWide offers excellent shipment visibility. Each container is given a trip plan that highlights each stage of the logistics chain. An internal network connects all company departments, from sales to operations, which allows customers to monitor the progress of their shipments through the shipment cycle. They can check the management of their shipment from the CN WorldWide website.
"We are still a relatively new company, so for us there is always an opportunity to grow with a better product,” says Ms. Ernesaks. “We have been very fortunate in sustaining our base of business because we have flows in several trade links around the world. We are very bullish and, because our product is well received on the market, we will continue to grow with our Chinese partners”.
