HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 January 2025 – A well-established international logistics solutions provider, CN Logistics International Holdings Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”, stock code: 2130) is pleased to announce the launch of regular international charter flights between Ezhou, Hubei Province, China and Milan, Italy on 19 January. This service provides enhanced logistics solutions for import-export businesses between the two regions, marking another milestone for CN Express air charter transport solutions.

The first flight of the “Ezhou-Milan” route was operated by a Boeing 767 freighter operated by Georgian Gio Air. Mr. Lau Shek Yau, Founder, Chairman and Executive Director of CN Logistics and Cargo Service Group, Mr. Fang Meng, Deputy General Manager of Wuhan Financial Holdings, General Manager and Vice Chairman of Changjiang River International Trade and Mr. You Jun, Chairman of Huahu Supply Chain attended the inaugural ceremony at Ezhou Huahu International Airport on January 19.

The newly launched charter service is a crucial part of the strategic partnership with Wuhan Financial Holdings Changmao Group Limited (“Wuhan Financial Holdings”) and Hubei International Logistics Airport Limited (“Hubei International Logistics”). According to the agreement, the Group will utilize its airfreight forwarding network to provide 2 to 3 charter flights between Ezhou and Milan per week to prominent Chinese eCommerce platforms and various large enterprises, covering multi-sectors including eCommerce, high-tech electronic products, industrial products, high-end and affordable luxury clothing and red wine. This aims to foster bilateral trade while helping business in expanding overseas operation by reducing costs and improving efficiency. Building upon the “Ezhou-Milan” route, the Group and the Partners plan to gradually extend services coverage to other European countries and the Middle East and African regions, with long-term plans to establish joint warehouses in these regions to facilitate the exchange of quality products with Ezhou.

Mr. Lau Shek Yau, Chairman and Executive Director of CN Logistics, said “We are honored to collaborate with Wuhan Financial Holdings and Hubei International Logistics to promote Ezhou’s external trade exchanges and build a business ecosystem that benefits the society across multiple industries and regions. Bolstered by its strategic location, Ezhou has become the hub for China’s eCommerce and logistics industries. On the grand day of departure, we witnessed the efficient processing capabilities of Ezhou Huahu Airport, which completed all aspects of customs clearance, cargo loading, and takeoff in a short time. We believe launching the Milan route is just the first step. With the support of our Partners, CN Logistics will launch more routes connecting Ezhou with other regions, particularly the Middle East and Africa. This will enable the Group to achieve synergies with our parent company providing customers with competitive and efficient logistics solutions while rapidly expanding our business presence in the Middle East and African regions.”

SH29 Kaimai Range overnight closures for February

Source: New Zealand Transport Agency

A summer of work to complete much-needed maintenance on State Highway 29 Kaimai Range will see night closures over 2 weeks next month, from Sunday 9 February to the morning of Friday 14 February (5 nights) and from Sunday 16 February to the morning of Friday 21 February (5 nights), between 8pm and 4.30am each night.

The closures are needed to undertake asphalt renewals and other routine maintenance activities such as clearing drains, sign maintenance and road marking. Please note the previously advised SH29 closure was for 1 week, an extra week has been added to complete additional maintenance while the road is closed, while also allowing for the possibility of bad weather. If the work is completed before the full two weeks is up, then the road will reopen early.

During the day SH29 will be open but may be under a temporary speed restriction.

This is one of a number of night closures for SH29 for vital maintenance work on this busy route linking Waikato with the Bay of Plenty. Due to the nature of the road over the Kaimai Range, plus the heavy traffic volumes due to its importance as part of the ‘Golden Triangle’, full closures are the most efficient and effective way to get important maintenance work done,

More information about the work happening on SH29 over the summer:

Further closures are planned for April, the exact dates will be shared when they have been confirmed.

The detours for this closure are significant and add considerable time to journeys. People are encouraged to check the NZTA Journey Planner and allow extra time for their journey, or if possible, delay travel over SH29 on these nights.   

Journey Planner(external link)

The detour routes are:

  • South: SH28, SH5, SH30, SH33, SH2 via Rotorua  
  • North: SH24, SH27, SH26, SH2 via Karangahake Gorge  

The closure points on the western (Waikato) side are at the SH29/24 and SH29/28 intersections and on the eastern (BOP) side at the SH29/Cambridge Road intersection. Emergency services will have access at all times, and residents can access their property from the relevant side of the closure. 

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi thanks motorists for their patience.

Auckland food business and manager fined $16,500 over multiple food safety record keeping failures

0

Source: Ministry for Primary Industries

An Auckland food producer and manager have been fined a total of $16,500 after failing to keep food production records.

All food businesses must have and follow a plan to manage any potential food safety risk to consumers, and the records must be kept for a minimum of 4 years.

Soma & Sons Limited, which trades as Tasty Foods, along with manager Bhavesh Soma (34) were yesterday (20 January 2025) sentenced in the Auckland District Court on 2 charges under the Food Act, following a successful prosecution by New Zealand Food Safety.

Soma & Sons Ltd were fined $13,500 for failing to comply with their Food Control Plan and Mr Soma was fined $3,000 for providing false information to a food safety officer.

New Zealand Food Safety deputy director general, Vincent Arbuckle says Soma & Sons is an experienced food producer and under its Food Control Plan, it is expected to record samosa cooling and cooking temperatures.

“The rules are there for a reason – to protect consumer health and the vast majority of food businesses do the right thing. Good record keeping is an important part of a food safety culture and ensures that if there was a food safety risk to consumers, we’d be able to access records and quickly find the origin. Poor record keeping makes this challenging and increases the risk to people’s health.”

In March 2021, a trade level food recall of fully cooked samosas was undertaken because the samosas found on site were being stored at an unsafe temperature and there were no records available for cooking and cooling temperatures.

An investigation by New Zealand Food Safety found Soma & Sons Ltd did not record cooling and cooking temperatures as part of its Food Control Plan on 4 occasions between 2020 and 2022.

“While we are not aware of anyone becoming ill from eating these products, the absence of records means there is no assurance that the plan is being followed. New Zealand Food Safety visited Soma & Sons Ltd several times and made it clear what was required, but they deliberately failed to act. It’s very disappointing to see this disregard for consumer health. New Zealand Food Safety will continue to hold such businesses to account to ensure consumers are protected and to demonstrate to the vast majority of food businesses that do the right thing, that the overall system is being monitored.”
