The Leschaco Dangerous Goods Logistics Blog

Advance notice: Leschaco at NACD ChemEdge 2023 Why it is a matter of course for us to present ourselves at this year’s ChemEdge 2023 conference cannot be explained in a single sentence. So I want to use this blog post to illustrate both details about the symposium itself and our reasons for attending. This year’s ChemEdge 2023 will be held Aug. 16-18 in The Woodlands, a community in the Houston, Texas, region. The event is a conference and trade show hosted by the National Association of Chemical Distributors. The symposium provides the space for professional and legal training and, of course, the all-important networking between chemical companies and distributors and their suppliers. The focus is on the core topics of environment and health, safety, supply chains as well as logistics, warehousing, procurement/purchasing and also regulatory compliance and inventory management. Right up our alley – challenges and regulations in everyday business life This is exactly the range of topics that we encounter again and again in our day-to-day work and that we are confronted with in every business activity, no matter how small. So that’s already the main reason why we will of course be there. Our booth will therefore focus

That was transport logistic 2023 More than 75,000 visitors from over 120 countries met at the Munich exhibition center between May 9 and 12 for transport logistic, the world’s leading trade fair for logistics, mobility, IT and supply chain management. After 26 years, Leschaco was also back with its own stand for the first time. And after four great days at the fair, I can say: it was worth it! This trade show, which is so important for the industry, has now been in existence since 1978. Experts from the fields of sea and air freight, tank containers, contract logistics as well as intermodal transports and supply chain solutions met at our booth B4.119/218. Leschaco’s global logistics services and everyone’s passion for chemicals and dangerous goods made Leschaco the point of contact and advice for a large number of visitors to the stand. Modern times and good forecasts for dangerous goods logistics “Nothing works without logistics” – that’s what you read in the trade show’s final report, and Messe München’s two managing directors, Stefan Rummel and Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer, are absolutely right. Logistics is more than simply transporting goods across the world’s oceans, road networks and airways. Logistics combines cleverly

Plastics – The transformation from raw material to hazardous material? From countless media reports we learn about the daily increasing pollution of the world’s oceans by plastics. Ubiquitous are the images of dolphins and sea turtles entangled in discarded remnants of plastic nets, coral reefs covered in plastic waste, and littered beaches. Even in the most remote polar regions and the deepest trenches of the oceans, the waste of our affluent society is found. But that is only the part of the pollution that is visible at first glance. Recently, the raw materials of the plastics processing industry have come more and more into focus. These raw materials consist of plastics in the form of granules, flakes or powders. They are often transported in large quantities; either in flexible IBCs or in bulk containers or silo trucks. As long as these products are transported in intact packaging between shipper and consignee, there is no danger from the goods, because the substances do not meet any dangerous goods criteria of the UN Model Regulations. Plastics as an (in)visible hazard It becomes critical in the case of special events and their effects, such as damaged packaging during goods handling or transport accidents.

Cosmopolitan city with heart – Leschaco at Munich transport logistic 2023 After an absence of 26 years, Leschaco will be back as an exhibitor at the transport logistic trade fair for the first time this year between May 9 and 12. And when convinced Hanseatics travel to the Bavarian capital, they naturally bring a big heart with them. You will see this heart from afar: it pulsates as a clear signal above our booth 119/218 in hall B4 and testifies to our enthusiasm for our customers, for our partners, for our employees, for logistics, for chemistry, for the trade fair – and of course for Munich. The whole Leschaco team is already looking forward to stimulating and exciting discussions with customers and partners from all over the world.

More than 60,000 visitors from 125 countries are expected. International delegations have also announced their presence at Leschaco. Thus, in addition to the Executive Board around Constantin

Ten tips for the safe shipping of containers in maritime logistics Approximately 150 million TEUs (1 TEU = the size of a 20-foot container) are transported in global ocean shipping each year. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has developed regulations based on the UN Recommendations, which are recognized in almost all countries. They form the basis for safe transportation anywhere in the world. In everyday life, however, these regulations must also be implemented in practice. In this blog post, I’d like to share ten tips to help you stay on top of key container shipping issues in all situations at all times.
