Reusable Packaging News
The ten rules are recommendations for correct handling, including information on proper loading, adequate transport and the exclusive use of intact containers.
Frank Mühlenkamp, director global operations at Jettainer and board member of ULD Care, was quoted in Air Cargo News: “The ULD Care Code of Conduct is an important step towards raising awareness of this topic within the industry. We fully support these efforts and are pursuing further approaches to reduce avoidable damage, for example through our JettCare programme.”
Jettainer, a subsidiary of Lufthansa Cargo, has trained several thousand ground handling employees around the world in a specially designed “ULD-X-Perts” training course through its JettCare program. In doing so, the focus is laid on correct storage as well as proper handling of the units.
ULD Care started as a committee of IATA in 1971 and has been working independently since 2011. The company has committed itself to establish regulations and awareness for an adequate handling of ULDs within the global transport chains.
