SWISS logistics forwarding giant Kuehne+Nagel delivered a critical shipment of Nokia telecom equipment from Shanghai to Mauritania while meeting Nokia's exacting eco standards, reports Mumbai's Stat Trade Times.
Listen to this Article Kuehne+Nagel, a global logistics provider, has delivered a critical shipment of Nokia telecom equipment from Shanghai, China, to Nouakchott, Mauritania.
The shipment, consisting of 25 pallets and nearly 860 boxes, weighing 44 tonnes, was transported by sea freight from Shanghai to Jebel Ali Port in Dubai, according to Kuehne+Nagel's announcement on Linkedin.
To meet Nokia's tight deadline, Kuehne+Nagel organised an exclusive air cargo charter between the UAE and Mauritania, ensuring the shipment received priority handling and dedicated capacity. To optimise the shipment, the goods were repacked into unit load devices (ULDs).
'Rapid delivery and sustainability were Nokia's top priorities,' said Kuehne+Nagel's air logistics sea-air product sustainability manager Mohammed Rizwan.
'Our sea-air solution provided the perfect balance between saving time and reducing carbon emissions,' he said.
By combining sea and air freight, Kuehne+Nagel was able to achieve a significant reduction in carbon footprint compared to a purely air freight solution.
The carbon savings were equivalent to 20 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year or 1,337 tree seedlings grown for 10 years.
'Nokia is committed to sustainable practices and delivering value to our customers worldwide,' said Nokia's mobile networks global transportation operations leader Claudia Brito.
'Kuehne + Nagel's sea-air logistics solution not only met Nokia's requirements for short lead times, reliability, and cost efficiency but also significantly reduced our carbon footprint,' she said.
