Where are the Cumaru decking?

The container ship CMA CGM PLATON is currently on its way to Rotterdam at 18,2 knots per hour. Off the coast of Brazil, it now sets course for the African coast and crosses the Atlantic. On board: A container with a cargo Cumaru Decking in 120 mm and 90 mm width, as well Mandioqueira substructure from FSC forestry in Brazil.

The decking boards are urgently awaited. The surprisingly high demand has already significantly reduced our annual stocks of Cumaru decking boards in April. Numerous lengths are no longer available. The Cumaru decking boards in 90mm width are even completely sold out. That's why we have reordered: four containers with a total of around 3.000 square meters of Cumaru decking wood. The first container is now already on the high seas.

On this map you can see the last position of the ship. In the search function enter CMA CGM PLATON and select the container ship. Then on the page www.marinetraffic.com the last reported location of the ship is displayed.

The ship is currently on the open sea between South America and Africa, so the last location report was two days ago. But don't worry, the journey to Rotterdam will take about ten days. The ship left the port of Belem in Brazil on April 9. In the destination port of Rotterdam - the largest deep-sea port in Europe - customs will inspect the containers upon arrival on April 23 using a random procedure. If a container is selected for customs inspection, the transport will be delayed by two to three days.

The goods are then brought from Rotterdam to our warehouse in Nümbrecht near Cologne. This happens by April 30th at the latest. There, the Cumaru decking boards are sorted again according to our quality standards and packaged for shipment to our customers.

We offset the CO2 emissions of the entire transport route through reforestation in Bolivia via our partner Co2ol. Even the last stretch to your doorstep is transported in a climate-neutral manner.
