Pharma logistics providers praise cooperation
Skycell, a Swiss-based provider of temperature-controlled container solutions, has supported three vaccine shipments sent from a manufacturer in Italy to the Brazilian government amid the pandemic.
The first charter, jointly operated by Lufthansa, DHL and Skycell, flew from Frankfurt to Belo Horizonte with 4 million Meningitis C vaccine doses. In total, 62 of Skycell’s 2500C and 1500C hybrid containers carried 123 pallets of this temperature-sensitive medicine.
Cargolux and DHL then coordinated a second delivery of 3.3 million doses of vaccines packed in 65 containers. Departing from Milan, this operation was supported by Skycell "Transport Planner", simulating shipment scenarios.
Finally, a third charter with 65 containers increased the number of doses flown into Brazil to 8.8 million doses. (ah)
