The Swiss logistics corporation Kühne + Nagel (K+N) is praised to the skies in Duisburg. Because K+N is expanding further in the Port of Duisburg. The corporation is about to make its fifth investment in its Duisburg logistics campus. In doing so it had only held the official opening of its new warehouse halls in Dubliner Strasse on the logport site in September. (gran) "In the past three years alone Kühne + Nagel has created 225,000 sq.m of warehouse space in Germany," said Hans-Georg Brinkmann, Chief Executive Officer of Kühne + Nagel (AG & CO.) KG based in Hamburg on the occasion of the opening of the new warehouse halls in Dubliner Strasse in Rheinhausen at the beginning of September. "The contract logistics business is buzzing," he enthused. K+N is expanding and investing in this business sector. The logistics service provider, actually an all-rounder in sea and airfreight as well as in overland transport and now in contract logistics, is particularly profiting from the trend to outsource logistics services in this division. More and more companies from manufacturing industry and retail are contracting out their warehousing, merchandise distribution and other services, such as packing, to logistics service providers like K+N to save costs and use the specialists' expertise. New campus concept Here K+N uses a campus concept in large logistics centers such as in Duisburg. By concentrating on various logistics facilities for different sectors economies of scale can raise efficiency, create synergies and flexibly manage peaks in demand. Put simply: costs and benefits are optimized for the logistics service provider and the customer. According to K+N a logistics campus basically has three characteristics: a minimum size of around 50,000 sq.m, an excellent location as well as trimodal infrastructure – like in Duisburg. The campus concept has now been implemented in Duisburg for the first time. With around 160,000 sq.m, over 100,000 sq.m of which is in logport in DuisburgRheinhausen, Duisburg has since become the largest K+N location, followed by Hamburg with nearly 150,000 sq.m. An additional logistics campus with an area of 45,000 sq.m initially is being planned in Leipzig. So it's no wonder that the Administrative Board of Kühne + Nagel International AG and numerous customers and business partners came to the official opening. "Internationally operating retail LOGPORT Kühne + Nagel and industrial companies need logistics chains that work seamlessly. The advantages of the Duisburg location as a central logistics turntable for worldwide flows of goods combined with our integrated process expertise make it possible for us to optimally manage our customers' supply chains," said Karl Gernandt, President of the Administrative Board. "We've been among the largest investors in the Duisburg port area for years and this new commitment underlines the significance that the globally operating Kühne + Nagel Group attaches to the location." He can probably count on the agreement of Honorary President and majority shareholder Klaus-Michael Kühne, who was also among the guests. Because he was the person who set course for Duisburg / logport together with port boss Erich Staake in 2000, when they met the state government under then Premier Wolfgang Clement in the old Krupp canteen on the logport site. New expansions planned The extension had only just been inaugurated when K+N already needed more space in Duisburg again. Despite the new expansion the "the end of the line" had not been reached said Staake in any case at the opening ceremony. "We are currently holding discussions with Kühne + Nagel about a new project," said the port boss without giving any details away. Only this much: he wants to set all the machinery in motion to make a new expansion possible for his showcase investor. Up to now the corporation had put around 80 million euros into the facilities in log- duisport magazine December 2011 Many guests at the big celebration on the logport area port alone, explained Brinkmann. K+N has invested around 35 million euros in the expansion by 42,000 sq.m of warehouse space now opened. The halls were built by the Hellmich Group from Dinslaken. K+N has already been present with a 65,000 sq.m logistics center on Blumenkampshof in the Duisburg Kaßlerfeld area of the port on the right bank of the Rhine since the 90s. One obviously satisfied customer there is the computer and printer manufacturer Hewlett Packard (HP) with its central supplies warehouse for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Because Volker Schmitz, Distribution & Logistics Director of the Imaging & Printing Group of HP for the EMEA region, reaffirmed the cor- poration's commitment to the Duisburg location and to their partnership with K+N in his speech at the opening ceremony. In contrast, the repeated expansion in logport has mainly been for the consumer goods corporation Johnson & Johnson. Additional customers include Airberlin and the carrier system manufacturer Thule. Negotiations are currently being held with a new customer from abroad, from the household appliance sector according to reports. "Duisburg is our heart in North Rhine Westphalia and one of our most important handling locations worldwide," said Brinkmann. 750,000 consignments a year are handled for customers in Duisburg every year. The number of jobs in Rheinhausen has risen from 80 to 250 in the last two years. A further 400 employees work in the Kaßlerfeld district. K+N employs around 500 people in contract logistics alone in Duisburg. 5 6 duisport magazine December 2011 PORTRAIT Kühne + Nagel From seaport forwarding to a world corporation For many years in Duisburg: Kühne + Nagel Kühne + Nagel is a global transportation and logistics company, based in Schindellegi in the canton of Schwyz in Switzerland. This is the first sentence in the online encyclopedia Wikipedia under the heading Kühne + Nagel. What sounds like a peaceful idyll in the Swiss mountains is actually one of the largest logistics groups in the world and a success story. It has a name: Klaus-Michael Kühne. The company founder's grandson stands for the steep rise of the forwarder to among the best in the world. (gran) The company, founded by Friedrich Nagel and Alfred Kühne as a sea port forwarder in Bremen in 1890, is one of the world's leading logistics service providers today. It has over 61,500 employees at 900 locations in over 100 countries, sales of over 20 billion Swiss franks and is a full service provider in sea and air freight, contract logistics and overland transport. Kühne + Nagel is seen as the Number 1 in sea freight, Number 3 in airfreight and contract logistics and Number 6 in the sector in overland transport in Europe. More than seven million square meters of warehouse space are managed worldwide. Initiating internationalization Already entrusted with running the company in 1966 at the age of 29, Klaus-Michael Kühne and a team of committed executives emphasized the internationalization initiated by his father Alfred in the 50s and the dynamic growth of the corporation. By purchasing his own ships Kühne even attempted to become a shipowner in the 70s and 80s. But the company was shipwrecked and he had to sell parts of the corporation to the British Lonrho Group. But Kühne recovered and was able to buy his shares back and later successfully float them on the stock exchange. Since 1994 Kühne + Nagel has been a publicly owned company and holds investments in over 200 companies worldwide, mostly K+N foreign subsidiaries owned by the corporation. Since then Klaus-Michael Kühne has "passed the baton" to the younger genera- tion. Karl Gernandt, born in 1960, followed him as the President of the Administrative Board of Kühne + Nagel International AG at the beginning of 2011. "Now that we have succeed in placing Kühne + Nagel-Gruppe firmly among world's leading logistics companies and it is on a successful and ambitious course of growth, I would like to place a further part of my responsibilities in younger hands," said Klaus-Michael Kühne back then. Today he is the Honorary President and remains the majority shareholder. Through Kühne Holding AG, which is in the sole ownership of Klaus-Michael Kühne, he holds 53.25 per cent of the shares in Kühne + Nagel International AG. Kühne has lived in Schindellegi on Lake Zurich since 1975. With a fortune estimated at Kühne + Nagel PORTRAIT duisport magazine December 2011 two billion US dollars, he was placed at 277th in the famous Forbes List of the richest people in the world in 2004. Kühne is the sole donor of the charitable Kühne Foundation, to which he contributes five million Swiss franks a year and that will later control the company's assets. Kühne promotes research and education in logistics with the money, as well as medical, cultural and humanitarian projects. Expanding contract logistics In the recent past Kühne + Nagel has primarily expanded business with contract logistics. The purchase of the ACR Group in 2005 paved the way. The acquisition was the largest in the company's history up to that time and catapulted K+N into the Top 5 of global service providers in this division. This offers what might be called all-round support from warehousing, picking and transport up to additional services such as packing and assembly. In the course of globalization and the international division of labor, logistics will more and more become a networked element of global value creation chains. Thus the demand for supply chain management solutions has risen in many globally oriented sectors. As a result, alongside the strong international forwarding business, this has opened up new business opportu- Worldwide growth rate nities for Kühne + Nagel, which can be improved even further by offering additional services, so-called value added services. New takeovers That K+N remains on course for growth has been shown by the acquisition tour in the last few months alone. In mid-July the Brazilian Grupo Eichenberg with 700 employees was taken over to strengthen the Brazilian business. Just three days later the company announced the purchase of the Dutch fresh food logistics company J. van de Put Fresh Cargo Handling based in $OOLQRQH QHVNDLQWHUPRGDOSURYLGHVDQDOOLQRQHVROXWLRQIRU\RXUFRQWDLQHU ORJLVWLFQHHGV)OH[LEOHHI¿FLHQWDQGFRQYHQLHQWDWDOOWLPHV QHVNDLQWHUPRGDO/RJLVWLFVPDGHHDV\ ZZZQHVNDLQWHUPRGDOHX 0HPEHUVDUH $OFRWUDQV&RQWDLQHU/LQH%9=ZLMQGUHFKW &76&RQWDLQHU7HUPLQDO*PE+.|OQ '&+'VVHOGRUIHU&RQWDLQHU+DIHQ*PE+'VVHOGRUI .&7.UHIHOGHU&RQWDLQHU7HUPLQDO*PE+.UHIHOG 5575KHLQ5XKU7HUPLQDO'XLVEXUJ 8&78PVFKODJ&RQWDLQHU7HUPLQDO'RUPDJHQ 7HUPLQ DOVFHUW L¿HGWR Amsterdam. The company employs 260 people and specializes in airfreight with flowers, cut flowers, fruit and vegetables. In October the German company Drude Logistik with 150 employees in overland transport was taken over to build up general cargo logistics. And the contract logistics business is flourishing too. The large customer Danone has just extended is cooperation with K+N in Poland by a further three years in temperature controlled warehousing and packing services for food. In Germany the corporation is based with Kühne + Nagel (AG & CO.) KG in Hamburg. There are 10,000 employees in Germany at 100 locations and storage space of 1.35 million sq.m. In North Rhine Westphalia, Duisburg is the central location for Kühne + Nagel. Nowhere else does Kühne + Nagel operate around 160,000 m² of contract logistics area. Duisburg also has considerable importance to Kühne + Nagel's sea freight business as the largest inland waterway port in the world. Alongside Duisburg the company is represented at a further eight locations in NRW and has been for 57 years. 7 8 duisport magazine December 2011 THE PORT Regionomica study Port of Duisburg is a jobs engine for the whole region The employment market and economic effects of the Duisburg logistics location have been investigated for the third time after 2000 and 2006. The study was carried out by the reputable Berlin market research organization Regionomica. The positive development of the two most important key performance indicators has continued over the past few years. Thus the number of employees directly and indirectly dependent on the port is now over 40,000 (2006: 36,000). The total value creation attributable to the port currently amounts to more than 2.7 billion euros (2006: 2.2 billion euros). (br) "These figures impressively prove that the dynamism of Duisburg as an economic location is uninterrupted," said Erich Staake, Chief Executive Officer of Duisburger Hafen AG, with pleasure. "Furthermore, they are proof of the quality of the location, which has continued to develop positively despite the economic crisis in the meantime," continued Staake. Of the over 40,000 jobs 21,660 (2006: 16,700) are accounted for by the city of Duisburg. This is equivalent to almost 14% (2006: 11%) of all jobs in Duisburg. There is a similar weighting in value creation, which stands at nearly 1.5 billion euros for Duisburg. Positive effects are also expected looking ahead. Around 60% of the companies based in the port assume that employment figures will rise in the upcoming three years. The proportion of companies in the port that provide so-called 'Value Added Ser- Regionomica study THE PORT duisport magazine December 2011 vices' has increased by about a third. Alongside actually transporting and handling goods these companies also process and refine merchandise, thus generating additional value creation. What is new in this year's study is the question of the satisfaction of the companies based in the port with the services offered by Duisburger Hafen AG. Thus, for example. 94% of the companies said they would recommend these services, which according to experience is a sign of high satisfaction with the services offered. "We are pleased that our tailormade services have been so positively evaluated by our partners in the port. This strengthens us in our strategic orientation to further build up our business model as an integrated service provider in all logistics segments, “said Erich Staake. The market research organization Regionomica carried out three extensive com- pany surveys followed by simulations and effects calculations based on these. In doing so technical discussions and interviews with selected companies and relevant players provided supplementary qualitative assessments.

Besides an administrative building there will also be a 5,500m² hall for steel processing and Europe-wide distribution. (br) Siecop is to receive high quality Grain oriented electrical steel coils for transformer cores which mother coils are then delivered to the neighboring container terminal by inland waterway vessels. These coils will then be further processed in the steel service center that is being built in Duisburg where they will be processed until Europe-wide distribution by rail, road and ship. There is a plan to expand the initially 5,500m² craned hall, which can grow with the company. “We are pleased that the global players Metal One have decided on duisport and that the Japanese community at the location will grow further,” said Erich Staake, Chief Executive Officer of Duisburger Hafen AG. “This commitment once again makes it clear that the Port of Duisburg is not only attractive to logistics companies but also to international companies from manufacturing industry,” continued Staake. Construction for the location is starting in the 4th quarter of this year. It is intended to begin operations in Ruhrort as early as mid-2012. Handling 2011 THE PORT duisport magazine December 2011 duisport expects handling record for 2011 Even in container handling is expected to set a new record It has been possible to continue the extre mely positive developments already recognizable in the middle of the year into the second half of the year. Thus the duisport Group is expecting total handling volumes of approx. 130 m tonnes in 2011 for the Port of Duisburg including the private ports. Of this 64 m tonnes are attributable to dusiport Group ports. "Even if this development cools slightly, during the course of this financial year we will realize the best result in the history of the Port of Duisburg," said Erich Staake, Chief Executive Officer of Duisburger Hafen AG. (br) In ship and rail handling relevant to revenues in the duisport Group's ports an excellent result of 33 m tonnes is also expected. What is particularly pleasing here is the increase in ship handling of currently over 20%. In term of groups of goods coal, iron and steel as well as chemicals have developed well above average. The duisport Group is on course for a new record for container handling too. From January to October inclusive over 2.1 m TEU were handled on the three modes of transport ship, rail and truck. "We are assuming that the duisport Group will significantly exceed last year's result by the end of the year," added Staake. This extremely positive development has been taken into account in the Port of Duisburg by further expansion and new construction of important infra and superstruc- ture projects. Alongside a new CT terminal, which the duisport Group is building in Hohenbudberg in the south of the logport site, RBH, a wholly owned subsidiary of DB Schenker, is expanding its capacities on the so-called Kohleninsel in the Port of Duisburg. By 2014 capacities here will be significantly extended. Furthermore, Deutsche Bahn is building the first of two so-called mega hubs for combined transport in the whole of Germany in the north of the Port of Duisburg. "This strategic course will create excellent conditions for future growth in goods transport," said Erich Staake. duisport largest inland container port in the world The Port of Duisburg has once again made the list of the “World Top Container Ports” and reached its best ever position at 92nd. As the only inland port on the list duisport reached 92nd place in the English language trade journal “Container Management”. Thus duisport came ahead of ports such as Marseille, Miami or Piraeus and is the largest inland hand- ling location for containers worldwide. What was authoritative here was the figure for containers handled by ship and rail in 2010 – this was 1,181,000 TEU, which represented an increase of 24 per cent compared to the previous year. 11 12 duisport magazine December 2011 SHIPPING LIST Shipping List Full service logistics – perfectly situated at harbour port Duisburg with reloading points at Außenhafen and Hochfeld Südhafen, both connected to water, railway and important motorways.

This project was successfully concluded with the complete delivery of the construction components to the "Larsemann Hills" building site in the Antarctic at the end of November. (dü) As the Indian government's contractor the Bremen company KAEFER Construction GmbH is responsible for the complete planning and construction of the polar station and now has the three month 'summer period' at the South Pole available to assemble a ship load full of containers and individual components into a self sufficient, working research facility. Thanks to the qualified preparatory work from the packing and logistics experts from duisport packing logistics GmbH it has been possible to carry out the construction phase of the station quickly and also on time. This is because the project team from the contractor KAEFER can draw on an intelligent and sophisticated component logistics system. The "New Indian Research Station Bharati", to give it its official name, is a three storey steel structure standing on stilts that are built on pile foundations. "Due to the fact that the time period for assembly is very limited in the Antarctic summer the preparatory logistics processes and the appropriate design and preliminary planning are enormously important, because there aren't any extension days," said Project Manager Daniel Conrad from duisport packing logistics. Test assembly in the Port of Duisburg All the construction components had been stored on an approximately 24,000 sq.m site in the Duisburg Nordhafen since the end of May, followed by the test assembly of the entire station. The acceptance of the numerous components was usually done directly from the manufacturer's work bench. "Due to delivery difficulties at some suppliers the assembly time originally foreseen for the test assembly, disassembly and system-compatible packing of all components and individual parts melted from six months to six weeks in the end," reported Conrad. After the goods receipt Polar Station Smooth transition "As is usual in such projects the different project phases flowed smoothly into each other, i.e. until the last day parts were delivered by truck. These then had to be allocated to the structures, labeled and packed. Of course, customs accompanied the project continually and drew up the customs paperwork required. Because alongside the packing material, tools and certain components were going to be brought back again after the assembly. The fact that we were ready punctually nevertheless and delivered the last container for inland waterway loading at the neighboring DeCeTe-Terminal two hours before the deadline in mid-September was only possible through working three shifts, weekend work and the high flexibility and commitment of the whole project team," recounted Conrad with satisfaction. In total forty trade and six commercial employees were involved with the work around the clock. The commercial employees also worked on the practical work in the evenings and nights when staff were short. Loading on an icebreaker in Antwerp While the containers were transported on two inland waterway vessels to Antwerp and duisport's own packing facility, 110 pieces reached the loading facility on the Scheldekai by truck. After another check of all the containers and packages by the duisport experts on site, they were loaded on the ice-going multi-purpose freighter IVAN PAPANIN from the Russian shipping line Murmansk Shipping Company MSCO, which also has space for 334 containers on deck and four on-board cranes. After a stopover in Cape Town in South Africa, where fuel and additional building material from the Indian client were taken on board, the ship sailed punctually at photo: KDünner … and the completed "New Indian Research Station Bharati" in Antarctica from Europe to the Antarctic all climate zones were going to be crossed and in the South Polar seas there are the most difficult navigation conditions worldwide with constant storms. Accordingly we had to insert drying agents and stable shock absorbers for the components and facility equipment packed in the containers and we had to ensure that quick assembly of all the components without later drying time was guaranteed. Here using high quality packing material played a significant role, of course," reported Conrad. This included resealing the cut-out container walls with plywood sheets and sealing them with silicon. duisport magazine December 2011 A section of the sample building … photo: KAEFER Construction GmbH in Duisburg the components were checked for completeness, picking and allocation to individual construction building areas. The shell of the research station largely consists of brand new, special prefabricated 20 foot high-cube containers. After delivery to Duisburg these were initially prepared for assembly by cutting out the side walls and insulating the ceilings, floors windows and doors as well as installing the power supply, lighting and heating. Then the test assembly by the contractor began at the end of July followed by disassembly, labeling all parts and seaworthy and climate protected packing. "This was one the project's greatest challenges, because during the voyage SERVICES Daniel Conrad: from Duisburg to the South Pole 8 pm on October 26 to complete the last leg of its voyage to the Antarctic.

In doing so the quality of our processing is our best advertisement, because word gets around," concluded Daniel Conrad. A look out of Conrad's office window at duisport packing logis- tics' fully utilized storage areas in Duisburg Freihafen confirms this statement: the facility, which was only opened last year, is already bursting at the seams again. the whole station could be loaded in one go begin on schedule," recounted Daniel Conrad with satisfaction. In addition to the complete documentation of all parts available on site, packing the individual pieces on board the ship according to the assembly plan was of great help. Incidentally, duisport packing logistics' job will only end on June 30, 2012. This is when the repurchase guarantee for containers that are no longer required at the polar station expires and this material is expected back in Cape Town at the end of April next year. "Of course, the duisport packing logistics project team is really proud that we completed this extraordinary task on time. But actually, what we did here is our daily business. Because basically every new logistics project presents us with new challenges that we systematically work on with innovative solutions, good technical conditions at our locations and the many years' experience of our staff to the satisfaction of our clients," added Conrad. He is currently working on new chemical logistics projects for Pakistan, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

With the 'Westfalica Shuttle' operated by its subsidiary duisport agency the reopened Teutoburger Wald-Eisenbahn-AG (TWE) terminal in Gütersloh-Spexard has been connected to the Port of Duisburg and its national and European combined transport network. (br) "Through the new train connection we are making a decisive contribution to the further networking of North Rhine Westphalia as a logistics location and we are taking 17,000 trucks off the roads in our state per year," said Volker Schmitz, Managing Director of duisport agency. The subsidiary has successfully operated rail connections throughout the region for many years with the Glückauf Express through the Ruhr region and the Chemsite-Express to the Marl chemicals location. "The Westfalica-Shuttle is connecting the East Westphalia region directly with the Port of Duisburg and its combined transport network for the first time. Thus, together with duisport agency, we have succeed in offering our customers a multitude of national and European connections from Gütersloh. Not least the reopening of the TWE terminal is an impor- tant step to retain the rail infrastructure in the Gütersloh district," added Thomas Kratzer, a member of the management board of Teutoburger Wald-Eisenbahn-AG, in which Captrain Deutschland GmbH holds a majority stake. With four departures a week initially the Westfalica Shuttle not only offers parking The first train will be loaded space for containers and swap bodies but also for crane-loadable semi-trailers. Three loading tracks and a portal crane ensure quick handling of all loading units in the Gütersloh terminal, which is located directly on the A 2 autobahn. 19 20 duisport magazine December 2011 EVENTS 25 years Rhein-Ruhr Terminal 25 years of the Rhein-Ruhr Terminal Gesellschaft für Container- und Güterumschlag mbH, Duisburg Container turntable for rails, water and roads Sealing the continuation of a successful 25 year partnership: Gerhard Riemann, Erich Staake, Hans-Peter Wieland and Andreas Stolte In brilliant sunshine in the afternoon of July 29, more the 200 guests took up an invitation from neska intermodal to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Duisburg RRT-Terminal and the inauguration of the new terminal Gateway West. The two trimodal handling facilities belonging to Rhein-Ruhr Terminal GmbH, which is part of the South African Imperial Group, are among the five most important customers of Duisburger Hafen AG, according to its Chief Executive Officer Erich Staake in a welcoming address. (dü) Erich Staake recognized the successful development of the company in the last quarter century, which has been actively accompanied by Duisburger Hafen AG by enabling area expansions and access to the newly developed logport II site. He said the secret of the success of the RRT company was a motivated, innovative team that was accompanied by qualified management in the Imperial and neska Group. "The Gateway West Terminal in logport II has enriched the Duisburg location with a new combined transport turntable with unique performance, which has made a considerable contribution to the pleasing growth figures in the Port of Duisburg," said Staake. "Logport II is definitely not the Imperial Group's last project in the intermodal area: the development of the RRT locations in the past 25 years has sown the seeds for the next steps of this great company. Good luck to neska intermodal and the Imperial Gruppe!" Gerhard Riemann, Chief Executive Officer of Imperial Logistics International GmbH, which is also based in Duisburg, thanked Staake and his team for their continually reliable partnership in RRT's 25 year history. He had assessed the development perspectives skeptically at the foundation of the company by five 25 years Rhein-Ruhr Terminal shareholders. Only the concentration of the stock in the Imperial Group had freed growth potential and also made possible the expansion by the logport II site, he continued. Riemann thanked RRT's customers for their trust and the staff for their dedication: "The Imperial Group is doing well and we will continue to actively accompany neska intermodal's growth." The long standing RRT Managing Director Hans-Peter Wieland outlined a company history characterized by growth in a welcoming address. "The company was founded in November 1985 by five shareholders, including Haniel Reederei Duisburg. Operational business started in January 1986 on an area of 31,000 square meters with a crane bridge and a 2000 square meter warehouse. In 1999 the second warehouse with 1500 square meters was built to expand handling activities in the general cargo area and the plot of land was enlarged to 39,000 square meters, which was further expanded to 53,000 square meters in 2004. In 2003 the shareholder structure was concentrated into equal shares held by the companies Tieman, Bremen and Haniel Reederei, Duisburg. In 2005 Alcotrans Container Line Duisburg acquired the Tiemann stock, moved into new offices on the RRT site and a complete logistics service provider emerged dealing with everything to do with containers. In 2006 the terminal area grew to 77,000 square meters, an additional track facility to process container block trains was built and a 2nd crane bridge was erected, which was inaugurated in 2007. Today the RRT main facility in Moerserstrasse is a multipurpose terminal with two 50 t gantry cranes on a 400 m long quay on which inland waterway vessels and Rhine coasters can be processed as well as on the 2x400 m rail facilities. In addition to handling activities and tailor made transport concepts, repairs, cleaning, stuffing, stripping and equipping containers are among the RRT's tasks. On 3000 square meters of hall space activities such as picking and storing general cargo and packing industrial facilities are carried out. A bagging unit is used to pack bulk cargo such as plastic granu- EVENTS duisport magazine December 2011 lates, chemical intermediate products and also e.g. vitamin powder for further processing in the pharmaceutical, food or animal feed industries. For over two years the facility has had a tipper chassis to load granulates from overseas containers into silo trucks and wagons as well as inland water containers. 12 reefer container connections, four reach stackers of up to 42 t, a container stacker of up to 17 t as well as additional handling equip- terdam is linked via an overnight rail connection. Inland waterways transport large quantities of containers punctually in about 20 hours from Duisburg to Rotterdam/Antwerp. ment ensure the smooth handling of all goods. The highly efficient terminal software with extensive EDI interfaces linking external systems, including the neska intermodal terminal network, ensures efficient procedures in the logistics chain. and thanks to the numerous connections by rail and ship to the sea ports Antwerp, Rotterdam and Zeebrugge and inland waterway terminals in Germany and Italy, it plays a hub role for neska intermodal, the umbrella company for marketing the Imperial Group's container activities," Hans-Peter Wieland concluded. Since 2010 a block train of Polish import coke has been processed in the RRT. This coke is transported in special containers and delivered to customers by truck in the Duisburg area. The logistics concept developed by neska experts has since been applied to other block train connections from Poland to Denmark, Kassel and the Saar region. The location of the RRT terminal in the heart of the Rhineland industrial region and the direct connection to the autobahn network guarantee short pre and onward carriage routes. A fleet of vehicles oriented on the requirements of shippers in combination with customer specific delivery models ensure 24 collection and delivery transport. The port of Rot- In 2009 the new terminal Gateway West in logport II was commissioned with a terminal area of 77,900 square meters and a 50 t gantry crane. "The ISPS certified terminal works 24 hours seven days a week In a nod to the Imperial Group's South African roots a group of South African artists provided local color and a good atmosphere at the anniversary celebration. Catering was provided in the form of a barbecue, a cold buffet and matching drinks so that the day could be brought to an end for the guests at Gateway West in a pleasant atmosphere. 21 22 duisport magazine December 2011 INVESTIGATION DIALOGistik Expert contact for small and medium-sized enterprises Introducing DIALOGistik Duisburg Transport, handing, storage – these are the classic terms that identify logistics. But today these key words are anything but a comprehensive description of a logistics company's tasks, because customers demand so much more. Solutions should be individualized, tailor made, transparent, sustainable and cost-optimal. To be able to meet these high customer requirements, especially as a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), logistics service providers need well trained specialists and highly qualified staff. (ses) These challenges will be dealt with independently under the umbrella of DIALOGistik Duisburg and will be made particularly easy to understand for SMEs. Thus DIALOGistik Duisburg has set itself the target of becoming a central contact point to bundle logistics knowledge and expertise. It will act as link between selected scientific partners and companies at the Port of Duisburg location. In addition, both a regional business network and a platform for knowledge transfer, qualification and logistics efficiency will be set up; probably from May 2012 with its own office location in the port too. This project has been made possible thanks to financial support as part of the EffizienzClusters Logistik Ruhr initiative. The main content focal points of DIALOGistik Duisburg come from three research projects "Scientific Further Education in Logistics" (abbreviated as "WiWeLo" in German), "Organizational Innovations with Good Governance in Logistics" (OrGoLo) and "Integrated Corporate Social Responsibility Management in Logistics Networks” (CoReLo). The contents of DIALOGistik Duisburg are particularly oriented on SMUs and cover a wide range of subjects.

From August 19 to 22 the city district of the largest inland port in the world transformed itself into a fairground for the 18th time.a (hk) And into a public attraction: well over 100,000 people went to the “Party mood on the Rhine and Ruhr” over the four days. To get the proceedings underway "Ruhrort in Flames" conjured up a sea of light over the river. To conclude, the St. Sebastianus city guard put the icing on the cake. And in between bands set the house on fire every night with their music. duisport employee Walter Pavenstedt, who organized the Ruhrort Port Festival with his team on a voluntary basis summed up with satisfaction, "Everything went brilliantly. Even the weather played ball and that was in no way guaranteed in this summer." However, a bad weather warning had to be given to the fair operators three times on Sunday afternoon. But the thunderstorms stayed away. And why not? After all, there had already been enough thunder and lightning over Ruhrort on Friday night. Fireworks over Duisburg The spectacular fireworks – sponsored by duisport - reached their first illuminated highpoint on Friday night towards eleven pm: Ten of thousands of spectators watched the colorful "star storm" on the banks. The rockets and cascades lit up the sky well beyond Ruhrort and the sound made an even bigger bang as a thunderous public attraction. From fireworks under the stars to stars on the stage. The Rattles rocked the Mühlenweide on Saturday evening, enchanting their fans with songs like their hit "The Witch". The original band was the top act on the big stage on Saturday evening. On 16th Ruhrort Port Festival the other evenings cover bands turned the sound of groups like Supertramp or the Beatles into a live show on the banks of the Rhine. German hits from the 80s showed where the Ruhrort party was with a trio of "da, da, da". Culture in Ruhrort The 2011 Port Festival took up the theme of the successful Ruhrort performance during the cultural Capital year. An art market on the Neumark put visitors and collectors in the picture for the first time making it clear why Ruhrort has made its mark as a cultural quarter. Art in the 'hood has long time. What was remarkable is that the paddling of 20 longboats allowed Antonia Sühs from Duisburg to waterski in the mouth of the port. Smoky, Dutch tugs brought typical Rhine flair with them when they berthed in Ruhrort during the port festival. Right next to the "Oscar Huber", which also attracted attention during the four festival days. The sea rescue cruiser "Fritz Behrens" added a taste of salt water to the ship parade. Which was fitting, because Ralph Lindenau, Chairman of the St. Pauli Civic Association from Hamburg opened the port festival with the traditional three chimes of the bell. Stacey Blatt and Elisabeth Höller organized the project in collaboration with Haniel and also with the Ruhrort Civic Association and the Cultural Office. The American Stacey Blatt was pleased about the attention given to her shop window exhibition by the many visitors during the port party. A reading by local thriller author Silvia Kaffkes and the Ruhrort verbal sparring from Thommie and Klaus also enriched the cultural festival in the quarter. The fair on the Mühlenweide, the fair booths on the Leinpfad, the culinary quay on the Richard-Hindorf-Platz – all these were also very special backdrops and fairgrounds of the city quarter festival. But the 2011 Port Festival was by no means just a dry run. A dragon boat regatta churned up the port water for the first duisport magazine December 2011 tion with Chairman Walter Pavenstedt is the driving force where the "party mood on the Rhine and Ruhr" is concerned. The Chairman of the Ruhrort Civic Association with Mario Adams at its head, Rudolf Gande from Laar, Dr. Bernhard Weber, the future head of the Museum of German Inland Waterways and Anja Reisewitz from Haniel also belong to the association and the festival committee. Olaf Reifegerste put art in the picture for the Festival Office of the City of Duisburg. The large companies in the quarter have also been on board every year and make a significant contribution to the event's success as sponsors. Walter Pavenstedt: "The atmosphere was amazingly good this time. The Duisburgers learned how to smile again with us." Dragon boat races in the harbor mouth since "served its time". Duisburg artists have been exhibiting their works in the windows of empty shops since spring.
