INTTRA (www.inttra.com), the leading provider of B2B ocean freight services, announced the addition of three of the world's premier freight forwarders and logistics providers to its global logistics network. The addition of Danzas, Panalpina and Schenker, which collectively transported 1.6 million TEU in 2000, positions INTTRA as the leading portal for global and regional trade, with more than 2 million TEU committed from forwarders and shippers worldwide. INTTRA facilitates global visibility, standardized communications, and improved responsiveness for ocean-going containers. These logistics providers will be connected to INTTRA-LINK, which will streamline and simplify booking and scheduling by directly connecting INTTRA's transportation network of participating carriers with the existing enterprise software systems used by these forwarders.

INTTRA's standardized integration methodologies and tools will enable us to rapidly enhance the services that we are currently delivering to our customers." Danzas (www.danzas.com) is a leading global provider of logistics solutions that cover the entire supply chain.
Joerg Eggenberger, COO of Swiss-based Panalpina World Transport Ltd. said, "INTTRA has mirrored our objective of developing world-leading, fully optimized global transport networks for cargo flows. Its comprehensive, uniform portal will improve our speed of workflow in ocean freight services." Panalpina (www.panalpina.com), one of the world's leading providers of forwarding and logistics services, focuses on globally integrated logistics and offers its customers comprehensive solutions in the area of supply chain management.
Dr. Thomas C. Lieb, member of the board of German-based Schenker AG said, "INTTRA-LINK contributes to our ongoing activities to provide streamlined processes and seamless integration of ocean-related services within the supply chain of our customers and supply chain partners." Schenker (www.schenker.com) is one of the world's leading providers of integrated logistics services, offering land transport, air and sea freight as well as comprehensive logistics solutions.
