■ EXPORT GATEWAY
 OWN STORAGE AND HANDLING FACILITIES ARE THE HEART OF THE K+S TRANSPORT NETWORK
mainly contain loose products. Yet some of these are packed and palletted in bags. That way, we also succeed in supplying smaller quantities overseas,” explains Jungerberg. For regional markets, K+S also despatches 2,500 trucks from its base.
DELIVERY BY RAIL AND INLAND WATERWAY CRAFT
The largest storage/handling terminal run by K+S Minerals and Agriculture receives about 95 percent of its freight by rail. About ten trains per day arrive at Kalikai Hamburg, for instance. The remaining five percent are delivered on inland waterway craft. “With us, procedures are clearly structured. Within our supply chain, preliminary runs by rail or inland waterway craft to Kalikai are organized, while our Freight and Container Booking Departments coordi- nate shipments with the shipping companies, Kalikai organizes loading, including documentation, and the agency clarifies shipment details with the crew on the spot,” says Jungerberg.
A further important export product from K+S sites is de-icing salt. This is produced in three plants in Sax- ony-Anhalt, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-West- phalia. While the bulk of thawing agents remain within quite a short distance or a radius von 200 kilo- metres of these, a considerable quantity is exported to Scandinavia. This goes via the Port of Wismar. With consumers and the food industry, K+S has an additional target group to which it supplies table salt. This and its fertilizer production make K+S a compa- ny of relevance for the prevailing world system. The group is a key element for supplying basic needs to the population, and making a major contribution to food production. ■
