What does the future of freight transport look like? Our students set out in search of answers: As part of our seminar's “Logistics Live!” excursion, around 30 of our students, accompanied by our research assistants Aylin Altun and Hongjun Wu, learned more about all four types of transportation.

At Contargo's trimodal terminal in Frankfurt-Höchst, they were shown how goods are transferred from road to rail and inland waterway. The students were given fascinating insights into the daily operation and management of a multimodal terminal. They then explored the world of air freight at Fraport, Europe's leading cargo airport. A guided bus tour through CargoCity South and North provided first-hand insights.

Special thanks go to Kawus Khederzade (Contargo) and Andreas Quick (Fraport AG) for their time, their hospitality and for the insights they gave our students, who were able to put their knowledge to good use.
