Vision : Becoming The European Network Integrator of F & V

• Spain and the Netherlands are the number one and two in exporting fresh produce

• Germany and UK are the number one and two in importing fresh produce

• A tendency to year round availability changes the focus from export to consumption areas

• Focus DailyFresh is distribution to the consumption areas

• Strategy is creating Fresh Consolidation Centres

Future: European Operations : Supply chain management

Dunkirk Consolidation Centre for UK and NW-Europe will become key in network approach

• From consolidator of Dutch Product to full logistics service provider for a wide range of Fruit and Vegetables, year round from Europe and Overseas

• A new consolidation centre in Dunkirk will merge flows from Spain, Benelux, rest of Europe and Overseas, rendering tailor made services for customers in the UK and NW-Europe.

• From groupage loads to large scale FTL’s, mainly single drops, feeding RDC’s

Example Spain: Present inbound network from Spain is not very efficient

• Multiple collection stops and multiple distribution stops do not add value to the supply chain

• (Primary) Consolidation centres in UK are often required before RDC’s and other clients can be fed

• Consignments on pallet-level prohibitively expensive

• Seasonal business, no year round supply andunpredictable transport pricing

• Road transport will become increasingly unreliable andexpensive

• Traffic jams, toll, strikes• 48 hour working week + 12 hour rest period;

longer lead time and higher rates• Driver shortage

Step 1: Consolidation Centre in Dunkirk will improve control,flexibility, responsiveness and costs in the supply chain

Spain:• FTL’s directly from large sources and

high density- collection from smaller sources saves on collection costs

• Collection for groupage loads becomes easier, faster and more efficient

Dunkirk:• FTL’s are broken down to RDC requirements• Allocation of product can be done with 12 hrs

lead time• Flows from Poeldijk, other Benelux sources and

France / Italy be merged• Overseas supply: Merge flows of deepsea &

reefer containers into European network• The need for a PCC could be eliminated if

Dunkirk can feed directly into RDC’s • Vehicles can do store deliveries on their way

back to Dover/Felixstowe

10

Step 2: Consolidation in Dunkirk for UK and NW-Europe is further facilitated by RoRo connection Santander - Dunkirk

Spain:• Shuttle Santander – South Spain decreases

dependency on international road haulage• Better control over inbound network

Ferry:• 200 reefer trailers can be re-composed,

consolidated and sequenced in Dunkirk

Dunkirk:• Dunkirk will become major consolidation point for

Spanish produce flows• Dunkirk will become important roundabout for all

international produce flows• Dunkirk can become a centre for rolling stock of

citrus and overseas product • Dunkirk can consolidate a very large part of total

Fruit & Vegetable supplies, year round

11

Not just superb logistic solutions, but also better economics

• Saves 1100 kms driving to the UK (less for Benelux and Northern Germany)

• No toll (€200,-) and disruptions in France

• Extra payload (up to 4 tonnes) for the UK can be added in Dunkirk

• Reliable: national collection and haulage in Spain, ferry and distribution all under control of DailyFresh Logistics Europe

• Total lead time approx. 54 hours (collection Monday 20.00, arrives in RDC Thursday 02.00; road is not faster under new EU-regulations (2006)
