Light, durable, corrosion-resistant and cost-effective: aluminium can be found in many products – in motor vehicles and door frames as well as in food packaging or electrical products. Aluminium that is used industrially is transported in heavy bars. These weigh between a good 7 and 15 tonnes – a challenge in terms of their transportation and loading.
Unloading in just one day
The KARST freight forwarding company, which belongs to the ZIEGLER group, is well-known for its logistics expertise. An experienced team of four employees unloaded a shipload of 2,000 tonnes of aluminium bars at the Bendorf Rhine harbour near Koblenz in January 2018 – in just one day!
The perfect port
In Rotterdam, the aluminium bars were loaded onto the inland vessel “Wilhelm D” on 19 January 2018. Four days later, the ship docked at the port of Bendorf. The unloading process was optimally prepared: the KARST team had consciously opted for this port because the cranes on the wharf have a lifting capacity of 40 tonnes – ideal for the heavy bars. At the same time, suitable forklifts were also on site. They brought the metal to the place where the bars are stored until summer. Then they are transported by truck to industrial plants throughout Germany.
Every minute counts
One interesting detail of this unloading process is that, despite flooding, the team managed to discharge the cargo within one day. In the evening, the four logistics professionals looked down with satisfaction on the 2,000 tonnes of aluminium bars.
The Philippines is an agricultural state and offers enormous potential for bioenergy: residues from sugarcane and rice production as well as animal waste can be used as input materials for biogas plants. Several European manufacturers of biogas plants have implemented a pioneering project with local partners. The ground-breaking ceremony for the biogas plant took place in the summer of 2016 – a premiere on the island state.
ZIEGLER also made a contribution towards this: in September 2017, the sea freight team from ZIEGLER Frankfurt / Kelsterbach shipped parts of a biogas plant to General Santos on behalf of its partner in the Philippines. This is a follow-up order. Back in 2016, the ZIEGLER team already shipped numerous containers, including several flat racks (containers without side walls or a roof), from various European suppliers to General Santos for the same biogas project.
The container of the new consignment was loaded in the Netherlands and successfully shipped in October. It was then transported by truck from the port in General Santos City (the southernmost city in the Philippines), to the location of the new biogas plant in the province of South Cotabato.
A good feeling for ZIEGLER’s team: they made a contribution towards the first bioenergy plant and sustainable energy production in the Philippines.
We are pleased to inform of a further development on the South African logistics landscape with the launch on May 1st 2012, of Ziegler South Africa.
The Ziegler network had expanded its footprint in South Africa by investing in March 2010 in a very well reputed logistics provider : Logisticor. Logisticor was established in 2000 and maintains 3 offices in South Africa : Johannesburg (Joburg) (main and head office), Durban (harbor) and Beit Bridge (border to Zimbabwe) which is the service route for 70% of the roadfreight cargo into Sub-Saharan Africa.
Mr Sean Moore is the founder who brought his dynamism to the company and remains at the head of Ziegler South Africa as CEO.
Apart from the name change, there will be no change to the current team, apart from the appointment of a new managing director Mr Paul Lawrence (49), a well-known industry personality who brings several decades of experience.
With this appointment, Mr Sean Moore will focus on key account sales and business development, this resource is considered very valuable for the local brand.
A few of immediate advantages for Logisticor of being Ziegler South Africa include :
- an immediate and larger set of resources at their disposal, not to mention years of experience;
- access to the Ziegler Network including the 11 important Simba offices in China
- immediate access to IT infrastructure
- immediate access to route developments managers who make regular trips to South Africa
After Morocco and Tunisia where Ziegler has its own offices through Ziegler Maroc (Casablanca) and Ziegler Tunisia (Tunis and Tunis Airport) , it is a new step of our development in Africa.
