"For us who are in trouble under the recently tense shipping situation, Dawn’s help gives us great hope." On August 4th, Dawn International Trading Company received a letter of thanks from the Taiwan subsidiary on behalf of its Venezuelan headquarter. 

What is the hidden story behind the letter of thanks? Sun Jiachen, Director of Dawn International Trading Company, said, “It is a coordinated operation of Dawn’s people from Dawn International Trading Company in Shandong and KPIC Dawn Polymer in Shanghai to carry forward the spirit of 'three things to do and three things to be'. When the typhoon "fireworks" struck, Dawn people went all out to ensure the needs of customers for raw materials."

According to Director Sun Jiachen, the two orders from Venezuela were placed in mid-May and mid-June. Due to the small number of voyages per month and the slow container return speed, it was extremely difficult to book a shipping space. On July 13th, 8 containers were allocated, waiting for the opening of the port for loading. It was until 15:24 pm on July 23rd that the shipping company agreed to load the cargo. However, the Shanghai Yangshan Port Container Terminal informed that due to the impact of Typhoon "Fireworks", all inbound and outbound operations would be suspended from 12:00 am on July 24th.

Customers were anxious for the raw material to go on with production, and Dawn people were caring to catch time to race with the "fireworks". At 16:07pm on July 23rd, after confirming the consignee's information by email, we agreed to load the goods with the coordination of Sun Shaojie, Manager of Export Operations department in Dawn International Trading Company. At the same time, Wang Xiaojuan, the international salesperson, communicated with the international sales staff of KPIC Dawn Polymer (Shanghai) Company about loading matters, and obtained the information that the goods can be loaded overnight with the confirmation of Gao Quan, sales director of KPIC Dawn Polymer (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Arrange logistics fleet, record customs declaration information, and handle customs declaration procedures, etc. At 20:03 pm on July 23rd, the first container began to be loaded, and the front-line employees of KPIC Dawn Polymer (Shanghai) Company worked overnight to load the goods. At 6 am of the next day, after 10 hours of hard work, KPIC Dawn Polymer (Shanghai) Company delivered 8 containers to the port, completed the shipment within the specified time and delivered them to the port in time. Afterwards, the goods went through the collection port, arrival and release procedures. The successful departure on August 1st marked a decisive victory in this coordinated war of materials supply guaranteeing.

"I would like to thank you for helping our company with our order. It was Dawn’s full support and commitment that we could ship out our containers under the recently tense shipping conditions. It was your effective decision and documents process that helped us a lot. Moreover, please extend our gratitude to your employees who gave us the strong support in this typhoon season. Such patient cooperation and help have given our company a great help and great peace of mind. We are willing to strengthen contacts as always and have a broader and more friendly cooperative relationship with you”. the thanks letter said.
