We get everything on the (sea) way

Containers and their contents have to withstand a lot. Acceleration, impact and vibration forces during transportation or relocation. Static forces during stacking. Climatic stresses when passing through different climate zones. "During sea transportation, the cargo must also be secured against all ship movements such as rolling or pitching," explains Stephanie Dittberner, Head of Contract Logistics at our subsidiary HOMTRANS. "For this reason, the stowing - i.e. packing - of containers is highly regulated."

Now that we are qualified in accordance with the CTU packing guidelines, we can also offer this step in the supply chain - this is particularly interesting for our customers who also use our warehousing and customs services. An external packing shed is no longer necessary. This shortens delivery times, communication channels and, last but not least, transport costs.
