Dachser Wins Award for Outstanding Corporate Film

June 3, 2014 by

 

Kempten, May 20, 2014. Cut!, a corporate film by the Kempten-based logistics provider, wins the intermedia-globe Gold award at the WorldMediaFestival in Hamburg. The film is one of the 14 best international submissions from a field of over 700.

As an international competition for communications media, the WorldMediaFestival is one of the most important industry events. The festival’s independent jury, made up of members from around the world, viewed over 700 submissions from 34 countries before awarding the prize. From the large number of films, the jury members selected 14 Gold winners, among them Dachser’s entry in the category of ‘Public Relations: Recruiting.’ The relevant criteria were artistic creativity, technical quality, video and soundtrack design, comprehensibility, credibility, and overall impression. “This prize is a real team effort,” says Birgit Kastner-Simon, Corporate Director of Corporate Marketing at Dachser. “Our film makes logistics into something tangible, something experienced. I’m very pleased that the festival jury has recognized this approach with a Gold award.“

The five-and-a-half minute long corporate film illustrates Dachser’s global services portfolio in the blink of an eye: A movie shoot in China comes to a halt because the set – an alpine hut – is missing. The prop is flown in from Tyrol, and the director returns the favor with some typical Chinese cuisine, which goes by sea and land to reach its recipient. “We deliberately gave the script an unusual and unconventional concept,” explains Birgit Kastner-Simon, who received the prize on May 14 at a gala event in Hamburg. “By alluding to well-known film genres, we were able to take perfect advantage of the possibilities of film as a medium. Also, elements like the alpine hut refer to our company’s origins.” The film was created in cooperation with PI_spirit Filmproduktionsgesellschaft based in Cologne. The premiere took place at transport logistic 2013, the leading international trade show of the transport and logistics industry.

Dachser’s Northampton Logistics Centre officially opened

June 2, 2014 by

Northampton/Kempten, June 3, 2014. On May 30th, Dachser Ltd in the UK  opened its new integrated logistics centre in Northampton. The new facility occupies a 7.4 hectare site and represents an investment of EUR 26 million by the company.

Customers, suppliers and representatives from local business, industry and government were present at the opening ceremony. “Our new logistics centre is a great example of how Dachser has grown in the UK in tandem with its customers,” stated Bernhard Simon, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Dachser, at the opening. “With this new logistics centre, we will satisfy the demands for global integrated supply chains. We are continuing our growth. Over the long term, we can enlarge the new transit terminal when we identify new potential.”

Located on the Brackmills industrial estate to the south of Northampton, the new facility houses the logistics centre for the Northampton branch as well as the UK Head Office. It comprises a 5,948 sq m transit terminal, a 10,560 sq m contract logistics warehouse which can accommodate up to 20,000 racked pallet positions, and a 1,954 sq m two-storey office building. The solid growth of Dachser’s UK country organisation, and in Northampton especially the flourishing European export business as well as contract logistics and value-added-services, made the new investment an essential strategic step for the organisation.

Environmental factors played an important part in the design of the premises, which conform to the BREEAM ‘Very Good’ standard. BREEAM is the world’s leading design and assessment method for sustainable buildings.

“The Northampton Logistics Centre is connected to the global Dachser network with daily direct freight services,” explains Nick Lowe, Managing Director, Dachser UK. “With this new construction, the Northampton location is evolving into an important hub within Dachser’s European network,” Lowe continued.

Dachser UK has been established in Northampton since 1975, and also has branches in Dartford (2005) and Rochdale ( 2010).  Ensuring that the new facility remained within Northampton was an important consideration in order to look after the interests of the company’s workforce, and the location is anyway optimally situated from a logistics viewpoint in the heart of England, with excellent connections to the national trunk road and motorway network. Dachser UK currently employs a total of 302 people, 157 of whom are based in Northampton where the company expects to create another 40 jobs over the next five years.

Experts Use Industry Forum to Draw Attention to the Perils of Packing

May 30, 2014 by

 

Freight and logistics professionals at Multimodal 2014 this week will hear specialist insurer TT Club’s Risk Management Director, Peregrine Storrs-Fox and other experts warn of the hazards of incorrect packing of containers and CTUs of all types

29 April 2014

Much industry attention recently has been focussed on the debate surrounding the degree to which inaccurately declared cargo weights cause accidents involving Cargo Transport Units (CTUs), in particular maritime containers.  Poor weight information has been cited as a cause of such incidents as container stack collapse, road and terminal vehicle overturning, crane failure or even contributing to ship loss.

However, while still important to achieve improved regulation of verified gross mass, the reality is that accurate cargo weights contribute in only a small part to safety in the supply chain.  The way in which cargo is packed and secured in CTUs is arguably far more significant, leading – where incorrectly carried out – to loads shifting and cargo spillages.   Accident investigations into cargo claims received by TT Club frequently identify poor load distribution, improperly packed cargo and inadequate blocking, bracing and securing, including inappropriate use of dunnage.

Such a finding is echoed by the ocean carriers’ Cargo Incident Notification System (CINS), where a third of incidents investigated were found to have this cause. The loss to the industry is substantial, resulting in direct expense, operational disruption and management distraction, not to mention litigation or insurance costs.

Along with speakers from the International Cargo Handling Co-ordination Association (ICHCA), the International Transport Worker’s Federation (ITF) and the Freight Transport Association (FTA), Storrs-Fox will underline the crucial importance of promoting the need for ‘best practice’ guidelines for cargo packing procedures.   “For many years SOLAS (International convention for the Safety of Life at Sea) and the IMDG Code (International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code) have referenced the IMO/ILO/UNECE* ‘Guidelines for Packing Cargo Transport Units to assist those involved in packing containers and other

transport units. Recent revisions to these Guidelines have been approved as a Code of Practice by the UNECE, with the other two bodies due to endorse them later this year.  It is vital that, as an industry, we do our utmost to promote this new CTU Code as a minimum operational standard,” he said.

As part of this effort TT Club has commissioned the expert e-learning course designer Exis Technologies to develop the CTUpack e-learningTM course.  This is an online training tool for those involved in the packing and unpacking of cargo transport units (CTU).  The first release of CTUpack is a foundation level course and was launched in January.

Students are assessed continuously through the course and receive a course completion certificate which records their final score. The e-learning course is accessed via the web and is available for individual training or for national, regional or global company training programmes. Multiple courses are managed using Exis Technologies’ e-learning management system, which provides administrator functions for setting up courses and monitoring students’ records.

The CTUpack e-learning™ will evolve to reflect any further changes to the UN documents and other industry best practice guidance.

Storrs-Fox concludes, “CTUpack e-learning™ follows the well-established IMDG Code e-learning training course from Exis, which is also sponsored by TT Club.  Both courses fit closely with the risk management approach that the Club has always fostered among the global freight transport community.  As in other operational sectors of the industry, training is clearly the number one loss prevention measure and, if adopted as a core feature of the operator’s culture, can greatly reduce the number of incidents incurred globally each year throughout the industry.  We have already seen promising interest in the course since its launch in January, but we are now working with Exis to disseminate information about the course on an international level. ”
