DB Schenker’s European land transport network bridges to Morocco
TAPA FSR A-level: DB Schenker Logistics integrates Morocco into its European land transport network and thus extends the high quality standards to North Africa
DB Schenker has upgraded its branches in Tangier and Casablanca and thus extended the high quality standards of its European land transport network to the African continent. National company Schenker Maroc SA provides daily connections with the European DB Schenker terminals, based on direct lines with Spain, France, Germany and Italy.
“As the gate of Africa, Morocco offers a very strong strategic position for the African transportation market,” says Karl Nutzinger, member of the board of management of Schenker AG, responsible for land transport. “The high quality standard of our subsidiary in Morocco enables us to offer customers services under well-known high quality and security level.”
DB Schenker in Morocco is meeting the very high quality standards of the DB Schenker land transport network, going beyond the ISO standard, as the company states. This has been confirmed by successfully passed product audit, which has been conducted by a neutral certification body. On top of this, DB Schenker in Morocco has been awarded the security focused TAPA FSR A-level certification for its facility in Casablanca, after an intensive period of preparation. The location in Casablanca is now an ideal base for logistics solutions for high-value products in northern Africa. The terminal has a bonded warehouse of 4,800 m² for cross-dock activities and value added logistics services.
With approximately 25,000 employees at 730 locations, DB Schenker Logistics is the number 1 in European land transport for general cargo, full and less than full loads. The business unit connects the most important economic regions in around 40 European countries – from Spain and Portugal to the Urals and from Finland to Sicily, Romania and Turkey – with a network of about 32,000 regular scheduled services for general cargo per week. The offer includes also logistics chains with a strong rail component for the European and trans-continental market.
