TNT has expanded the coverage of its economy express service to and from Malta to an additional 75 countries worldwide. The expansion, effective as of this week, builds on TNT's successful introduction in 2008 of the market's first integrated road-ferry service between Malta and other European Union countries.
TNT now offers a new cost-effective service alternative for parcels and freight shipments up to 1,000 kilos (palletised) between the rest of the world and Malta. The service offers on demand booking, delivery on a specified date within two-to-five working days, door-to-door transport, customs clearance and track and trace.
The service expansion will benefit, among others, Asian exporters who serve the Maltese industry as well as Maltese imports of electronic, eco-friendly and household goods. "It fits with TNT's strategy to strengthen its number one position in Europe and increase the connectivity with selected emerging markets such as China, India, and Southeast Asia," a company statement said. In June last year, TNT introduced the market's first integrated road/ferry connection between Malta and EU countries. The service is part of TNT's industry leading Express Road Network, which reaches over 40 countries in Europe and Northern Africa, connecting them to the rest of the world through TNT's global air network.
"The economy express volumes transported between Malta and its EU partners have exceeded our expectations. With the experience in place, we are extending this cost-efficient delivery service to other continents," said Jan Willem Breen, director marketing and sales at TNT's Express division.
The European Commission, in its interim forecast published in January 2009, estimated Malta's GDP growth at 2.1 per cent in 2008. Despite the economic downturn, the Commission expects Malta to achieve a positive 0.7 per cent GDP growth in 2009, well above the EU and eurozone average. Malta has a strong manufacturing base for pharmaceuticals, electronics, and textiles. The EU countries as a group are Malta's main trade partners. China and Singapore, too, are important source countries of imports. Malta's central Mediterranean location makes it a hub for freight shipment and a facilitator for trade between Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East.
