Germany-based forwarder and transport operator Robert Kukla GmbH is set to trial container tracking devices from telematic specialist OHB Logistics Systems in Bremen

Munich-based multimodal freight forwarder Robert Kukla has taken delivery of 100 new 40ft palletwide containers. The boxes have an internal width of 2.43m, instead of the standard 2.35m of an ISO container. The extra 8cm allows for 30 europallets, compared to 25 in an ISO 40ft box, while also ensuring better cargo control through a tight fit.

The port sector across the Eastern Mediterranean region is currently a “hot bed” of industrial action, as governments keen to transfer the management of port terminals to private operators clash with trade unions determined to retain state control.

Intercontainer (IFC) and TFG Transfracht are to cooperate in intermodal transport on the German seaports-Hungary axis. IFC will use Transfracht’s Albatros-Express system between the seaports and Nürnberg, for steel wheel interchange to its own block trains that serve Hungary, the Balkan states and Turkey via the Sopron hub.
