Life-saving biomedical delivery from UK to US

The challenge was to deliver sensitive biological cells from the UK to the US, while meeting environmental conditions for duration of travel. We made it: the cargo was successfully shipped within a 24-hour timeframe, meeting the client's requirements.

DELIVERY FROM THE UK TO THE USA

The Logistics Challenge

Choosing Rhenus

Rhenus takes responsibility for sensitive, complex deliveries under significant time constraints and can offer tailor-made logistics solutions based on the unique requirements of each shipment.
In this instance, the solution required Rhenus’s Life Sciences & Healthcare division – which operates teams in many countries – to provide constant communication flow for the duration of travel, from collection in the UK right the way through to delivery in Texas. Live status updates on the battery were also provided during the flight, along with the CO2 and temperature status of the Cellbox.
Bringing together experts with a passion to provide a first class service and solution to clients, Rhenus and its approved suppliers were able to help the customer achieve its goal of door to door delivery to the US just under 16 hours after collection - comfortably within the 24-hour time limit.
