Shipping Partner Visit - ANL
Read what QMag's Head of Supply Chain and Logistics Mark Christmas experienced during our recent trip to Japan, where we visited and overall of 15 customers and partners:
"I was fortunate to have a ship tour in Kobe port, Japan organised by our great shipping partner ANL (CMA CGM). During the tour I witnessed containers that were packed at our Parkhurst facility being offloaded from the CNC Lion after a journey of 4200 nautical miles, or approximately 7700 kilometres. It was great to see the process of offloading and reloading of 400 to 500 containers within 24 hours.
I was reminded of how little room there is between containers when loaded and how bulged containers can impact vessel packing and cause delays while they reposition the bulged container. I also learned that the ships crew can spend up to four months away from family sailing the world. Certainly a group of dedicated people committed to keeping the world moving. I found out that there are no lifts in ships of this type, and to get to the bridge I walked up 8 stories (16 flights of stairs) to see the full ship and ongoing operations. What a sight indeed.
A great experience with lots of learnings."
