39,000 kilometers: This is the overall distance travelled by 50 special trucks to transport various parts of machinery from Port Hedland, Australia, to the iron ore mine owned by BHP.

With blocked roads and a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour, it took three nights to reach the mine. In total, 90,000 tons of machinery were transported.

We invested in a new Gottwald HMK 5506 Mobile Harbor Crane for the Constanta MOL1S Terminal. With an outreach of 51 meters and a lifting capacity of 125 tons, the crane will facilitate increased productivity, better solutions for customers and new opportunities in terms of bulk and heavy lift loads. In 2020, DB Schenker extended the concession with the Romanian Port Authorities for the next 20 years and will invest in lifting equipment, infrastructure, digitalization, and human resources.
