A true tale with an unhappy ending (and no I was not responsible!). Seafreight is not the fastest method of
transport but it is cost effective for large quantities of product. The collections by 40ft container was
arranged, the space on the ship booked, documents prepared. The container was duly loaded with product
and off it sailed, destination the Middle East. All was well.
The container arrived, cleared customs and was delivered to the
factory. Still all OK.
Then they opened the container………
and the product flowed out like a weird waterfall.
The poor people unloading it were covered in it, the factory floor knee
deep, the forklift truck in need of serious maintenance.
