EXTENSIVE SECURITY MEASURES
“Security is our top priority,” says Steinmeyer. To ensure that in an accident nothing can escape, the two high-bay warehouses rest in troughs. Automatic extinguishers and preventive measures complete the protection package. These include localized sprinklers, smoke extractors, fire protection doors, three million litres of water for fire-fighting in two storage containers, and automatic notification to the fire brigade. A list of goods currently stored is in the fire brigade’s on-site mailbox.
The two high-bay warehouses are the centrepiece here. In addition, Spedition Kruse offers further warehouses, gas storage and tanker storage with 560 slots. Apart from being accessible by road, the firm can also be reached by inland waterway and coastal craft via the Elbe and the Kiel Canal, or by rail. Continued excellent trading for Brunsbüttel as a chemicals site ensures good utilization of Kruse’s special storage facilities.
OWN TANK CONTAINERS
This family firm has a long tradition extending over five generations. Kruse won its first contract for con- veying the Imperial Mails in 1902. Today its empha- sis is on providing forwarding and logistics services
for the chemical industry, and on paper and bever- age logistics. This year, Kruse has invested in its own tank containers with a capacity of 35 cubic me- tres. These can be heated and are fitted with special insulation. Other containers are at the planning stage.■
