AIRBRIDGECARGO Airlines (ABC) has completed its multi-modal shipment trial for Deutsche Post DHL Group's ocean- and air-forwarding arm DHL Global Forwarding, using Envirotainer's RKN active cargo container.
The
trial tested the container for delivery of healthcare products from
Moscow to Miami using Good Distribution Practice (GDP) cool chain
standards.
During
the trial, the RKN container was transported aboard an ABC 747
freighter on its direct route to Chicago. In Chicago, ABC
representatives monitored offloading to a refrigerated truck for
transportation to Miami. Once in Miami, the container was transferred to
Managua in Nicaragua by another carrier.
"With
ABC only developing temperature-sensitive solutions for less than a
year, it is a huge achievement to be chosen to provide dedicated lift of
healthcare products, which will improve the quality of life for people
of the Republic of Nicaragua when we commence the delivery of vaccines
in 2018," said Fedor Novikov, ABC's global director, pharma.
ABC
gained Envirotainer QEP accreditation at its Moscow Sheremetyevo
Airport hub and in Dallas in September, and has since also earned
accreditations for its online stations in Milan, Frankfurt, Amsterdam,
Los Angeles and Chicago, New York's Air Cargo World reported.
