Geodis Wilson Marine Logistics establishes Hamburg Base

Marine Logistics Division of Geodis Wilson in Hamburg to act for cruise-related and cargo vessel supply business
 
Geodis Wilson Marine Logistics has established one of its global ‚control towers‘ in Hamburg.  Initially, this was to facilitate the successful management of two projects at the German port for Crystal Cruises in May and June. The Marine Logistics team handled the transport and logistics management of an array of spare and replacement parts as well as other supplies involved in the overhaul and refitting of the Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony at the Blohm & Voss dry-dock facility.
 
Hamburg is now well-established as a cruise hub and its importance as a regular call on liner vessel (both container and break-bulk) schedules, as well as a major port for liquid and bulk cargoes makes it a critical focal point for the delivery of Geodis Wilson Marine Logistics‘ rapidly expanding services.
 
In addition to providing a source of the skill sets and expertise required, Hamburg’s diversity of marine activity provides synergy with Geodis Wilson’s three sectors of Marine Logistics operation.  The division’s cruise business is well-established through its head-quarters in Miami; the Hamburg location develops this into Europe; the commercial sector, dealing with scheduled vessels such as container ships and the industrial sector, which covers vessels most usually trading on the spot market, such as tankers and bulkers also frequent the port
