Rennies Consolidated in
Walvis Bay has established
its own transport and materials
handling wing, with an in-house
f leet of container handlers, trucks
and trailers.
“In the past we used to
be at the mercy of external
transporters in terms of rates and
cargo f lows from our facilities,”
says Rennies general manager,
Mario Polster.
“With our expanding transport
f leet and sideloaders we now
have more control over the f low
of containers and goods between
the port, our warehouses and the
cargo destination.
“This translates into improved
rates for our clients and an allinclusive
and hassle-free service.
“The use of our side-loaders
in national haulages means that
our clients do not need to hire
additional cranes or equipment
to off load the cargo from our
trucks, thereby saving them
further costs.
“We ensure empty containers
are returned and the client does
not have to worry about anything
else,” says Polster.
Hargu Horn has been appointed
manager of Rennies Transport.
“Without revealing our strategy,
I can mention that we are busy
fine-tuning the various systems
and processes to make the flow of
cargo from port to warehouse to
doorstep as hassle-free and cost
effective as possible,” he says.
Rennies has also invested in
addition security for its Namibian
operations.
“We have improved our security
with an improved CCTV system
that allows coverage of all our
facilities and warehouses.
“We are also certified to handle
hazardous goods.
“Our new EDI computerised
tracking system also allows
for improved control over the
movement and storage of cargo,”
says Polster.
