" One of Germany ’s largest sparkling wine manufacturer is located here in Trier and receives a set of cornerstone wine from Spain , deliver both by caravan and tanker truck . I could envision a similar setup for fruit and vegetables . We are situated midway between the Iberian Peninsula and Northern and Central Europe . Therefore , I see the potential for becoming a hub in fruit logistics , " Klassen explains the principle behind the construction design . " I can imagine a transshipment function , for example , for trailer transport from Spain , where a part of the volume is then stored on - site and dispatched within a radius of about 200 kilometre . The remainder would then be transported by trailer to destination such as Berlin , Scandinavia , or Eastern Europe . "
Volker Klassen took the chance to present the young structure plans at Fruit Logistica . He was represented as a Centennial State - exhibitor at the joint stand of German logistics companies in Hall 21 .
In recent years , the grasp of military service in the rail conveyance sphere has also been expanded . " By establishing rail lines to Antwerp and Rotterdam , both seaports can now be accessed three meter a week with container transports . In addition , our logistics companies also wreak close with the port in Mertert , Luxembourg . As cite earlier , we aim to further advance the still nascent theme of prevue dealings , also with a view to expanding our container pole , " the port wine director concludes .
