Transport und Logistic a

MBS Logistics in Hamburg successfully arranged and carried out a „Heavy Cargo” shipment via sea freight to Jakarta, Indonesia. The shipment consisted of a total of 12 packages weighing in at 192.4 tons with a volume of 369.1 cbm. The wooden crates, which were shipped at the end of July, contained a generator (9.18m x 4.97m x 4.76m / 167.23 to.) as well as diverse accessories. From the very beginning of the planning in June, the first priority was the coordination of the completion of the gene- rator and all it’s accessories and the punctual delivery of the cargo to the terminal in Hamburg’s harbor. The generator as well as 5 of it’s accessories underwent the final production in the Czech Republic while the remaining 7 pieces were finished in England. Due to the size and weight of the cargo out of the Czech Re- public, it had to be delivered in Hamburg per barge. The pieces from England were able to be delivered using a more conventional form of transport – a truck.
