Transport is based on contracts made by our group purchasing dep. – hence booking is done by contracted partners

Normally the transporter arrange transport This may include combination of truck, train and ship Main user of common raw materials will supply other Rieber plants –

normally done by truck In general good experience by sea transport – but;

Example of lack of flexibility We order rice from Italy – normally 5-6 week lead time by

Maersk, frequent delays, limited quantity (13 tons) Combination of train and ship via Rotterdam ; lead time 1,5

weeks, higher quantities (16,9 tons) and hence lower cost.

2-3 times pr month, feeder ship is not loaded in time
