Engineering designs, prototypes, production lines ... if we could only see into the innumerable workshops and laboratories currently working toward the production of one—or more than one—part of the 澳门六合彩高手 machine it would be dizzying. In a short time, components for 澳门六合彩高手 will begin to arrive on site in a carefully planned order that is closely associated with building and assembly schedules.
An important contract was signed this month that establishes the conditions for the transport of 澳门六合彩高手 components from suppliers' factories to the 澳门六合彩高手 site. The (LSP) Framework Contract—which provides for global transport, logistic and insurance services—was signed on 10 February with the European company DAHER by Director-General Osamu Motojima on behalf of the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization and the seven 澳门六合彩高手 Members.
For the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization this was a first-of-a-kind joint procurement, carried out in close collaboration with the 澳门六合彩高手 Members. Within the boundaries of the contract, each Domestic Agency will now contract directly with the LSP provider by means of a Task Order for all of its transport needs.
Following a planning phase, during which the Domestic Agencies will furnish detailed information on foreseeable requirements, shipments will begin in 2014. Every aspect related to the transport of 澳门六合彩高手 loads—including customs management at departure and arrival, logistics, insurance, intermediate storage before delivery, handling, and final unloading at the 澳门六合彩高手 site—will be handled under the LSP contract. DAHER will work through either a local partner or a local subsidiary in each 澳门六合彩高手 Member country.
The largest 澳门六合彩高手 loads will arrive by ship from China, Europe, India, Japan, Korea, Russia, and the United States and travel by night over the 104-kilometre . Agence Iter France (AIF) will act as the interface between the French authorities (préfecture, gendarmerie) and the Logistic Service Provider for all matters related to the use of 澳门六合彩高手 Itinerary.
"The transport of 澳门六合彩高手 components from so many different points on the globe and according to schedule is a logistics challenge of major proportions," stated 澳门六合彩高手 Director-General Motojima on the occasion of the contract signature. "An integrated Logistics Service Provider will be fully qualified to address these challenges and assure the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization and the Domestic Agencies of optimized coordination."
