Garbe secures plot near Bad Hersfeld

Posted on 2 February, 2022 by Keith McKinley

Garbe Industrial Real Estate GmbH is continuing its expansion course. In the municipality of Ludwigsau near Bad Hersfeld (Hesse, Germany), the Hamburg-based project developer has acquired a 192,000 sq m plot of land. A logistics centre with a total area of up to 97,000 sq m is to be built on it. Garbe Industrial Real Estate is investing around €85m in the project.

The site, which is ready for construction, is located in the Bad Hersfeld-Ludwigsau Enterprise Park, a roughly 840,000 sq m industrial estate in the North Hessian city-triad of Bad Hersfeld, Bebra and Rotenburg an der Fulda.

“With this purchase we have secured one of the last available, ready-to-build prime sites in this size range,” emphasises Jan Dietrich Hempel, Managing Director of Garbe Industrial Real Estate. “It is located in an economically strong area that is now one of the most important logistics regions in Germany.”

It occupies a central, convenient location; via the B27 Göttingen–Fulda, the site is connected to the A4 motorway, which links Kirchheim with Dresden. The Bad Hersfeld junction is 10km away.

The Hamburg-based project developer is planning a logistics centre in Ludwigsau with a total hall area of up to 97,000 sq m. They will be distributed over two buildings, which will be parallel to each other.

Included are offices, social rooms and mezzanine areas. A photovoltaic system will be installed on the roofs to generate renewable energy. Electric charging points for cars and bicycles are planned for the outdoor area. Garbe Industrial Real Estate is aiming for the property to be certified according to the Gold Standard of the German Sustainable Building Council.

“Our project developments are always based on internationally recognised ESG criteria,” says Hempel.

Construction of the logistics centre is scheduled to begin in the second half of the year. Completion is planned for the end of 2023. In addition to discussions with a tenant for the entire site, talks with other potential tenants are now underway. The mayor of the municipality, Wilfried Hagemann, welcomes the success of the settlement: “We are pleased that we have been able to win the pan-European company Garbe Industrial Real Estate for our site as a project developer.”

The purchase of the property was brokered by the real estate consultancy Logivest from Munich, which is also entrusted with the exclusive letting mandate.

Report uncovers hidden cost of workplace accidents

Posted on 2 February, 202229 July, 2025 by David Priestman

A report published by health and safety solutions provider Seton suggests organisations may be unwittingly paying the price for poor health and safety practices in the workplace,.

While accidents that cause injuries, absences, compensation claims and fines are known to be costly, employers aren’t always aware that a poor safety culture can also impact staff morale, productivity and turnover – and ultimately their bottom line.

Seton has published a new report highlighting the benefits of prioritising employee safety, with insights from experts in personal injury law and HR.

Across the UK, almost 700,000 people suffered a non-fatal workplace injury in 2019/20, while 142 were killed in 2020/21, according to the HSE (Health and Safety Executive). This is clearly devastating for workers and their families but it also comes at a cost £5.6bn per year to individuals, employers and the government – or around £1.7m per fatal injury and £8,800 per non-fatal injury.

However, Alex Hinton, a product innovation manager at Seton, believes this is just the tip of the iceberg: “All employers have a legal obligation to protect their staff from harm but it’s more than a tick-box exercise. They need to create a safety culture, where everyone can perform their duties confident that they won’t be exposed to unnecessary risks.

“Choosing the right safety equipment is key. Barriers, for example, are a visible sign that organisations take their obligations seriously – but it’s important to choose ones that are easy to use and won’t leave staff feeling frustrated or worse still, reluctant to deploy them when needed.

“Employees who understand and consistently follow best practice are more likely to perform well and take fewer risks. Similarly, someone who is engaged with company life is more inclined to follow health and safety rules, which is why we’d urge health and safety teams to work closely with their HR teams to communicate relevant messages.”

His comments were echoed by HR consultant Jacqui Adams, of Tick HR, who also contributed to the report. She said: “Given employee expectations around health and safety, any organisation that falls short of the mark is likely to experience high turnover – which affects their bottom line. As well as the cost of replacing someone, they’ll also see skills, knowledge and experience walk out the door, which impacts productivity.

“HR and health and safety have many crossovers and best practice and engagement happens when the two teams work together to achieve the required outcomes.

“I’ve seen both health and safety teams and management view health and safety simply as a form-filling and box-checking exercise. It meant employees then saw health and safety as a ‘nuisance’ and paid little attention to the communications, which wasn’t in anyone’s best interests.”

75% of logistics professionals see room for improvement

Posted on 1 February, 2022 by Keith McKinley

Transporeon and Adrian Gonzalez, President of Adelante SCM and Founder of Talking Logistics, just published the Transportation Pulse Report 2022. In light of the capacity shortages and delays within global logistics due to the COVID-19 crisis, the report identifies solutions for rebuilding trust in the supply chain. It combines quantitative insights from more than 280 shippers, carriers and 3PLs with the opinions of industry experts. A rising number of logistics professionals (25% compared to 18% in 2020) believe that there exists “very large” room for improvement in the way transportation processes are designed and managed. Another 48% of respondents see “large” room for improvement (compared to 47% in 2020).

More specifically, respondents consider the biggest room for improvement to reside in the physical (68%) rather than the digital supply chain (32%). “It’s obvious,” comments Dr. Thomas Lieb, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, former CEO of DB Schenker and member of Transporeon’s Advisory Board “it’s currently the physical supply chain that is causing all the headaches, which is why building trustful and reliable relationships with your supply chain partners, having real-time visibility, and taking care of your people are so important.”

Overall trust among trading partners is low with more than half of participants “agreeing” or “strongly agreeing” that “you can’t be too careful when dealing with people across your supply chain”. This coincides with the problems identified in digital supply chains: 58% of respondents state that the lack of transparency and data sharing among trading partners was in need of fixing. Almost half of the respondents also state that a lack of real-time visibility was a problem.

Hermann Ude, former CEO of DHL Global Forwarding, Member of the Board of Deutsche Post and today Chairman of Transporeon’s Advisory Board notes that “The response is more sharing of data and information, as well as joint optimization. All of these solutions that are available now, like real-time freight visibility and Transporeon’s Trust Center, are valuable because they provide transparency, they are an investment in building more trust. Having everyone looking at the same data will enable joint optimization, which was not possible in the past.”

This opinion was also mirrored in the answers of the survey respondents who stated that “Matching demand with capacity more efficiently” was the highest priority for them in 2022. “Enabling greater visibility to real-time demand, rates & capacity” and “Eliminating manual & paper-based processes” were their second and third priorities. Reducing the carbon footprint also became more important since 2020.

Further results of the study show that the integration of technology and logistics was strengthened within the last year. Software still matters, but the platform approach has become even more important with 77% of respondents stating that size and scope were “very important” or “important” criteria when selecting a TMS or logistics service provider.

Industry expert Adrian Gonzalez summarizes: “What we do know is that very large opportunities for improvement still exist in transportation, and that to achieve them, the logistics industry needs to become more data-driven, and there needs to be greater transparency of data across all stakeholders.”

TX Logistik expands Swedish intermodal services

Posted on 28 January, 2022 by Keith McKinley

TX Logistik AB, Swedish subsidiary of the German TX Logistik AG, is expanding its domestic intermodal services in Sweden. As of 31st January 2022, the rail logistics company, which is part of the Mercitalia Group (Gruppo FS Italiane), will add a further connection between Trelleborg and Eskilstuna, around 100km west of Stockholm, to its network.

The new block train will be operated as a company train for the Austrian full truckload specialist LKW Walter. The new connection is a further milestone for LKW Walter for the expansion of combined transport on the European continent.

Four round trips per week are planned. Up to 38 units can be loaded onto one train and most of the units will be trailers. The trains will run between the port in Trelleborg and the combined transport terminal in Eskilstuna, one of the most important hinterland terminals in Sweden. The route runs via Frövi and the transit time will be about seven hours.

TX Logistik is responsible for traction, terminal handling and customer service. In Trelleborg, LKW Walter uses the ferry connections to and from Rostock and Travemünde. By shifting transports from the road to the new route, both companies are taking part in a further reduction of CO2.

TX Logistik is experiencing sustained high demand for freight transport by rail. The company foresees potential for further growth above and beyond this in transports on the north-south axis and within Sweden. TX Logistik is already one of the most important providers of combined rail freight transport in the Scandinavian country. For the retail chain Coop, for example, TX Logistik transports food products 20 times a week between Bro (near Stockholm) and Malmö.

The rail logistics company also supplements the domestic network in Sweden with the national line between Trelleborg, Malmö and Eskilstuna. The line currently operates seven round trips per week as an open train system.

Preparing for the Mobility Package

Posted on 25 January, 20227 August, 2025 by Keith McKinley

The new additions to the Mobility Package regulations will come into effect in February 2022, and a leading European digital trucking company, Girteka Logistics, says it is ready.

Even despite the pandemic-related challenges that have still not lost their relevance in the road freight transport industry, the new regulations are set to make very significant changes to how cargo travels on the road in Europe. The upcoming changes are part of the whole Mobility Package, which addresses several key areas in the European Union’s (EU) road transport system, not exclusive to road freight transport services.

With the deadline looming, and as logistics providers began to prepare for the enforcement of the Mobility Package, it was clear that the changes would make the industry better for its most crucial cog in the gears, namely the drivers, and more complicated for the industries’ representatives to organise road transport processes.

The biggest change will be the fact that drivers will now have the option to return to either their country of residence or the place where a road freight transport operated is based every four weeks, with the truck having to come back to the place where the operator is based every eight weeks.

Upcoming changes

As mentioned above, the key change is that drivers will now have the option to return to either their place of residence or their truck company‘s base, while the truck will have to return to the country of registration every eight weeks. The European Commission has also looked into the rules of cabotage operations, as well as working and employment conditions for those who are behind the wheel on Europe’s roads.

Cabotage operations would be restricted to three operations maximum per seven days, with a cool-off period of at least four days. The individual Member States would be able to shorten the cool-off period and to increase the period as to which maximums cabotage operations are allowed to happen.

In terms of rest and driving conditions and rules, while they have applied since August 2020, will only add to the complexity of the incoming shift in the EU‘s regulatory base. For one, drivers will now have to take their weekly rest periods of 45 hours in proper accommodation facilities, rather than the truck cabin.

While it is a definitive improvement to the working conditions of the drivers, the issue is the lack of accommodation facilities throughout Europe, as well as current facilities hardly being able to accommodate the number of drivers and semi-trailers themselves.

That is not the only criticism that the Mobility Package has received, as the EC itself concluded a study to determine how would “the compulsory return of the vehicle to the Member State of establishment every eight weeks and the application of cabotage quotas on international combined transport operations,“ affect the industry with a particular focus on emissions.

The study concluded that the new regulations would impact the environment negatively and would increase the emissions of the industry going forward.

“We are ready”

While uncertainty followed the industry for the past few years, mainly due to the pandemic, there were hopes that the newest regulations would be delayed – alas, they will go through in February 2022. Nevertheless, as companies prepared to adapt to the changes related to the package, some of the uncertainty was cleared up.

“Firstly, to be closer to our customers in Western Europe, we will open a base in Poznan, Poland, which should be fully operational by the end of 2022. The base has required a lot of investment in human and other resources, as we will have to refurbish it to satisfy our needs, and to ensure that the base will provide as much comfort for our drivers as possible,” commented Mindaugas Paulauskas, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Girteka Transport.

Secondly, according to the CEO of one of the Girteka Group companies, the requirement to return the trucks and drivers to their base of operations or country of residence every eight and four weeks, respectively, will require the company to hire more drivers, which is no easy feat considering the rampant shortage of drivers across Europe.

“We have worked for years to ensure that Girteka Logistics remains an attractive employer for our current and potential colleagues, as we look to proactively solve the driver issue and so far we have been successful in doing so, as none of our trucks are standing still at our base,” continued Paulauskas.

According to the executive, the newly-placed cabotage restrictions will also be challenging for carriers and shippers, as already, there was a widespread shortage of capacity throughout Europe due to the mentioned driver shortage, as well as manufacturers struggling with their own supply chain issues, resulting in a deficit of new trucks globally.

“We also have to consider that if trucks and drivers need to return to their bases after a certain number of weeks on the road, these processes have to be monitored closely in order to not only avoid fines but to also ensure that we keep our high standards of services, despite any changes to the regulations,” concluded Paulauskas.

However, according to another Girteka Group executive, prices for transport services will rise directly because of the Mobility Package.

Impacting the volatile pricing environment

Coming into the year, carriers faced a difficult operating environment, as prices for fuel, and other raw materials, have continued to climb, while other operating expenses increased as well. The Mobility Package will not ease the situation, and on the contrary, make it only worse.

“The Mobility Package, which will see the light of day in February 2022, will bring even more instability and a more volatile pricing environment, leading to even higher transport prices in Europe,” stated Pavel Kveten, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Girteka Logistics European Business Area.

As Kveten expressed, the new regulations will come into effect in a difficult environment for carriers, as in addition to the past year’s difficulties continuing into 2022, a new COVID-19 variant could provide even more instability in the next coming months.

Still, the source of the potential price increases “is the fact that trucks and drivers, on separate timelines, will have to return to their locations of registration and/or residence, possibly imbalancing trade lanes across the continents. Certainly, fuel, planning, and other operating expenses will once again grow, which will proportionately increase the prices for services in the EU,” continued the COO.

“I have full confidence that our preparation work will enable us to continue offering the highest quality of services to our customers, despite the possible uneasiness we had expected for the upcoming months,” assured Kveten.

In the UK, Lysander was appointed as Project Manager on Amazon’s LCY3 facility, a four-storey, 2.3 million sq ft warehouse which boasts the largest PV roof installation in the UK.

Commenting on Lysander’s future growth, Joint Managing Directors, Tim Roles (pictured, right) and Richard May (pictured, left) said: ‘’We are very excited about the future for Lysander. We have worked hard to establish a strong understanding of our clients’ businesses, their ambitions and the challenges that they have faced, whilst they also move into new markets. We are very much aligned with them and will continue to bring our experience, pragmatism and positive attitude to their projects to ensure successful outcomes.

“It is a testament to the Lysander team that we repeatedly work with some of the most sophisticated occupiers and developers in the world. Demand for project and cost managers with a deep and extensive knowledge in the industrial and logistics markets in particular shows no sign of abating, and we will continue to be a trusted advisor to our valued clients.”

Solace expands EDA Summit Program

Posted on 21 January, 2022 by Keith McKinley

Solace, a leading enabler of event-driven architecture for real-time enterprises, has affirmed its ongoing Event Horizon commitments with the unveiling of a new set of product enhancements, partnerships and foremost an expansion of the popular EDA Summit Program, devoted to the advancement of event-driven architecture (EDA) in business.

First launched in 2019, Solace’s Event Horizon initiative is geared to help businesses adopt, manage and leverage EDA at enterprise scale, so they can become more real-time in their operations and customer interactions. As Forrester asserts “a key transition happens when the investment in EDA shifts from a project tactic to strategic enterprise architecture.”

The initiative consists of goals and activities set out by Solace to invest in EDA product innovation; build a coalition of vendor partners united in enabling event-driven systems at enterprise scale; advance the state of open source projects; and nurture global EDA community-building through education, networking and thought leadership.

“Our commitment to Event Horizon is motivated by our vision of EDA being a critical and foundational component of the modern enterprise,” said Denis King, CEO, Solace. “We want to help enterprises build that foundation to unlock the full power and potential of EDA, make better products, improve customer experience, enable greater operational efficiencies and more.”

On the education and thought leadership front, Solace revealed that it will sponsor a second instalment of the EDA Summit conference on 4th May, 2022, building off the success of the inaugural EDA Summit conference held in May 2021. The company will also sponsor a series of webinars under the brand EDA Summit Series, starting with a webinar on 25th January entitled Best Practices for Event Enabling your Enterprise Integration Platform featuring insights from Forrester Research and SAP.

“We are excited to see EDA Summit generating so much interest in the marketplace and look forward to fostering it as an opportunity for the top minds in the practitioner community, open source arena and among service and solution providers to collectively advance the state of the art of event-driven architecture,” said King.

In addition to the EDA Summit Series, Solace runs an EDA Practitioner certification program, where to date more than 600 IT professionals have been successfully certified, demonstrating their expertise in the area of event-driven architecture.

Enhanced integration capabilities

Solace also announced progress in becoming the EDA backbone for modern integration technologies with the release of a new advanced event connector for the Mulesoft Anypoint platform, which natively integrates with both Solace brokers and the PubSub+ Event Portal and is easily available from the Anypoint Exchange. Backed by customer demand, the new Mulesoft event connector is just the latest in a series of investments Solace has made to event-enable popular integration technologies like Boomi, SAP Integration Suite and many more through the open standard protocols and APIs they support.

“Solace is dedicated to being the preferred EDA partner for event-driven integration. Our new advanced connector for Mulesoft Anypoint Platform offers our customers a mission-critical approach to easily integrating their applications, cloud services and devices, enabling them to stream information anywhere it needs to be, all in real-time,” said Shawn McAllister, CTO and CPO, Solace.

As part of its goal of helping companies easily incorporate cloud services into their event mesh, Solace has unveiled additional connectors that make it easy to link legacy applications with cloud-native services and serverless functions, starting with connectors for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform. For users who want to trigger serverless apps in Azure Functions or Google Run, or store raw events into Google Storage, or push events in SQS, the new connectors let them do so through configuration, with no coding required and no separate connector runtimes to deploy and manage.

Furthermore, the company has announced new client library APIs for popular programming languages Go and Python.

These product enhancements build off the momentum of Solace’s recent Winter 2021 Product Update, in which the company detailed new features and functionality that make it easier to deploy, integrate and manage the PubSub+ Platform.

Simplifying Access

In an effort to make its event streaming and management platform available within the marketplaces of all of the leading cloud services, Solace hasalso announced that PubSub+ event brokers are now available natively within the Azure Marketplace. PubSub+ Platform has been available in AWS Marketplace since earlier this year and will be extended into GCP and other leading marketplaces throughout 2022.

Ongoing Commitment to Open Standards

Finally, as part of its Event Horizon commitment to dedicate time, resources and code to open source developer communities, Solace announced it has published an open source version of its PubSub+ Event Portal’s event discovery feature as a project called “AsyncAPI Discovery Tool.”

The software analyses event traffic passing through event brokers and generates a corresponding AsyncAPI specification that can be used for code generation, documentation, visualisation, infrastructure deployment, and more. It is built on a plugin architecture that allows it to be easily extended for any event broker and has already been used to create agents that can analyse systems that consist of Apache Kafka, RabbitMQ, NATS, HiveMQ and Solace’s own brokers.

“A recent survey showed that EDA continues to be seen as a key priority for optimising business, helping global enterprises respond more quickly to events and changes in real-time,” added King. “These latest advances serve as testament to our ongoing commitment to the marketplace, manifested through Event Horizon, to help make the promise of EDA a reality for all organisations across all industries.”
