DHL Global
\nForwarding arranged for the collection of the vaccines from the manufacturing
\nsite in Puurs, Belgium where the cargo was accompanied by security escorts on
\nthe road to the Brussels International Airport. The cargo arrived at
\nSingapore’s Changi International Airport on December 21 where DHL handled the
\ncustoms clearance and final delivery to a designated location in Singapore. The
\ncompany will also handle the return of these special shipper boxes to Europe. <\/p>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Throughout the
\njourney, the vaccine shipments were tracked by DHL. “Globally, we have been
\npreparing for many months to ensure DHL’s solutions were heavily tested with
\nthe most stringent vaccine requirements in mind. We ran trials to ensure the
\nviability of the deliveries. Every effort was made to ensure the vaccines are
\ndelivered within the fastest possible time, ensuring the quality, safety and
\nsecurity of these critical shipments,” said Kelvin Leung, CEO, DHL Global
\nForwarding Asia Pacific. <\/p>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n
“Connecting People,
\nImproving Lives is part of our core purpose. The pandemic has shown that we
\nlive this by doing what we do best — providing first-rate logistics anywhere in
\nthe world. When the pandemic first started, we were shipping large quantities
\nof personal protective equipment (PPE) to communities that urgently needed it.
\nWe have now come full circle, shipping the first vaccines around the world so
\nthat they can be used to save lives,” he added. <\/p>\nMore than 9,000 specialists work across DHL’s dedicated global network
\nso that pharmaceutical, medical devices, clinical trials and research
\norganizations, wholesalers and distributors, as well as hospitals and
\nhealthcare providers are connected across the value chain and through
\ndigitalization, from clinical trials to point of care, and every step in
\nbetween.\u00a0<\/p>\nDHL’s portfolio for the healthcare industry includes 150+ pharmacists, 20+
\nclinical trials depots, 100+ certified stations, 160+ GDP-qualified warehouses,
\n15+ GMP-certified sites, 135+ medical express sites, and a time-definite
\ninternational express network covering 220 countries and territories. <\/p>\nOn a global scale, logistics providers are challenged to establish medical supply chains rapidly to
\ndeliver vaccines of unprecedented amount of more than 10 billion doses
\nworldwide — also in regions with less developed logistics infrastructure ,
\nwhere approximately 3 billion people live. To provide global coverage of the next two years, DHL estimated in
\nits vaccine whitepaper <\/a> report that up to 200,000 pallet shippers and 15 million
\ncooling boxes as well as 15,000 flights will be required across the
\nvarious supply chain setups.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
