12 | road serviCes Ejpovice: successful expansion Since the summer, the Geis Group has opened two new buildings in Ejpovice near Plzen in the Czech Republic. At the end of June, a new depot was opened for more efficient parcel handling. Covering an area of around 2,000 square metres, it houses a modern conveyor system and has 40 gates for delivery vehicles and three gates for linehaul trucks. Over the past few months, there has also another logistics facility been built on the same site. It primarily expands the existing central warehouse of Finnish tyre manufacturer Nokian by around 5,000 square metres to approximately 21,000 square metres. The state-of-the-art facility, which has a clearance height of 9.80 metres and twelve loading docks, also includes almost 3,000 square metres of complex contract logistics space for new customers. — Transport services for tea services BHS tabletop AG is a customer whose goods quite literally need to be handled with kid gloves, as the company, which is based in the Upper Franconian town of Selb, is the world‘s leading professional porcelain manufacturer. photo: BaUsCHer new online Following its change of name, SDV Geis has since the start of this year had a new website. Now that of the Geis Group has been totally redesigned too. In addition to a more modern layout, navigation between the individual menu items is now easier and clearer. Take a look for yourself by visiting www.geis-group.com. — Bischoff has been carefully delivering the premiumquality items to hotels and restaurants in Germany and Western Europe for the past two years, and recently delivered an entire crockery set for a new luxury hotel on the German Baltic coast. But no matter where the cups, saucers and plates are headed, each delivery requires extreme care. “For a forwarder there could hardly be a more sensitive shipment”, says Bischoff Managing Director Andreas Weinrich. “Our team is therefore extra careful when it comes to handling BHS products.” And this care is paying off: Up until now every single one of the 15,000 to 17,000 annual shipments delivered by Bischoff has been damage-free. In Germany they say that broken glass brings luck. Needless to say, Bischoff and BHS don’t think so. —
Transformer successfully transported Every order that the SDV Projects team in Hamburg takes on is exciting. The transportation of a transformer from Istanbul to Flensburg was particularly ‘electrifying’, however. logiSticS for adventure holidayS For the Land Rover Trophy 2011 SDV Geis shipped eleven Land Rovers, including an ambulance vehicle and a trailer to Bolivia. At the beginning of March, the customer brought the vehicles to the SDV Geis warehouse in Hamburg. “It was only there that we found out we also needed to clear the equipment inside the vehicles for customs”, says Rafael Franke, SDV Geis Sea Freight Manager in Dusseldorf. “But we’re a good team, and can easily cope with tight deadlines.” Using their expert skills, the drivers placed two vehicles in each container. The valuable cargo worth more than 340,000 Euros was then shipped to Arica (Chile), where an SIC Logistica agent organized the onward transportation of the Land Rovers by motor trailer to Cochabamba (Bolivia). This marked the end of the easy part of the voyage for the Land Rovers; now they’ll have to cope with the rocky terrain themselves. — air + sea serviCes | 13 A project of this magnitude needs to be planned carefully, and the SDV Projects team in Hamburg began working on it at the beginning of January. After partner SDV Horoz successfully handled the first stage of the transport operation in Turkey, the almost 200-tonne transformer reached the port of Flensburg on 18 April of this year on a charter ship. Here the project team suddenly faced an unexpected challenge: The planned use of mobile cranes to transfer the colossus onto the quayside was prohibited at the last minute by the Port Authority for safety reasons. The SDV experts’ solution was to use the “Enak” floating crane, which can lift a weight of 600 tonnes, to bring the transformer safely ashore. gianT wiTh a righT of way. On the quay, the heavy-load transportation operation was continued using a hydraulic 15-axle trailer with two tractors. Travelling at a fast walking pace on specially cordoned-off streets, the trailer conveyed the transformer to its new destination, the substation in Weding, a suburb of Flensburg. There the transformer has replaced the old one, and now connects the Flensburg area’s 60,000-volt power grid with the 110,000-volt grid of E.ON Hanse AG. — Participants in Land Rover Experience journeys explore remote areas of foreign countries in the legendary off-road vehicles, with destinations including Canada, Botswana, Iceland and the latest addition, Bolivia. SDV Geis transports the all-wheeldrive vehicles safely to the next ‘adventure destination’.
