Gebrüder Weiss manages logistics for Baku Crystal Hall

Gebrüder Weiss transports equipment of the German event technician RS Rock-Service GmbH & Co. KG to Azerbaijan
 
Gebrüder Weiss, the Austrian provider of transport and logistics services handles logistics operations for RS Rock-Service GmbH & Co. KG, which is involved in construction of the ”Crystal Hall” in Baku. On 26 May 2012, Baku is hosting the Eurovision song contest. The Crystal Hall is currently being built on the Caspian Sea coast especially for this event. RS Rock-Service was awarded a contract for the illumination of the outer shell and the interior parts as well as the audience and hospitality areas. In the frame of the order of RS, the GWEast+ department of Gebrüder Weiss is handling the entire logistics and customs processes for the transport of the event technology to Baku, Azerbaijan.
 
During the past months, the Austrian transport and logistics company transported the required equipment such as work platforms, steel scaffolding, forklifts and stage elements to Baku. The partial and full loads arrived on the road from Germany and by Air and Sea from Shanghai, China. Because most of the goods were imported on a temporary basis, they will be returned to their places of origin shortly after completion of the construction work.
 
The heavy units weighing up to 38 tons and with dimensions of up to 13 metres x 2.5 metres x
 
3 metres (when collapsed) are on the road between Germany and Azerbaijan for up to twelve days. The fleet consists of around 40 GPS-monitored trucks of a Turkish subcontractor. Gebrüder Weiss provides RS Rock-Service with export documentation, handles customs clearance and takes care of load security and transportation surveillance, as well as logistical assistance and country-specific information. Gebrüder Weiss sees itself as an expert in the Caucasus/Central Asian region.
