Transport Service

Overview questionnaires

The Gulf SQAS assessment questionnaires consist of a CORE questionnaire, which is relevant for any logistics service provider, and a SPECIFIC part, which is relevant to the specific activities of the assessed company. Questionnaires are available for transport services, Warehouses, and Tank Cleaning


Transport Services

The “Gulf SQAS transport services” module is intended to assess asset based transport companies, operating predominantly their own vehicles and drivers, as well as for logistics service providers that are direct partners of the Chemical Companies, but are subcontracting their logistics service provision to other companies, and who often have no own vehicles and no own drivers. The target companies in this second category are Transport Companies who are predominantly subcontracting the traction and drivers, Freight Forwarders (land based), Intermodal Service Providers and Logistics Coordinators for fully integrated but subcontracted services (e.g. 4PL's). The "Gulf SQAS transport services" module is also the basic questionnaire to be used to assess inland Intermodal Terminals. It is obvious that only the questions applicable for such an activity should be addressed.
