Gebrüder Weiss transports cable car to Malaysia

The logistics service provider Gebrüder Weiss has organized the transport of more than 60 containers for a new cable car in the Penang Hill Biosphere Reserve in Malaysia, the company reports. This cable car, which accommodates eight people, will complement the existing transportation options in the region, which are already served by a funicular railway.

The components of the new cable car come from the Austrian company Doppelmayr, which specializes in cable car technology. The transport began at the production facility in Wolfurt, Austria, where the containers were loaded. Subsequently, the containers were transported to the nearby freight station, from where they were further transported by rail to Hamburg. The final part of the journey then took the cargo by ship to Southeast Asia.

On-time delivery

The entire logistics process was organized by Gebrüder Weiss according to a fixed schedule to ensure that the containers arrived in Malaysia in several partial deliveries. After a sea voyage of approximately 38 days, the containers arrived at the port of Penang. The logistics specialists from Gebrüder Weiss Malaysia took care of customs clearance on-site and coordinated the further transport to Penang Hill, which is located near the capital George Town.
