Sailing close to the wind
Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12
DHL takes you on an exciting journey around the globe: 5 continents in 20 days and 39,270 miles of adventurous battle with the wind!
The Volvo Ocean Race needs a partner being able to operate on a large and complex scale, and one which can deal with the specifics of large sporting event logistics, where there are no second chances.
"We look forward to supporting one of the most demanding international sporting events with our know-how in transport and logistics," said Thomas George, CEO DHL Freight. "It's a perfect fit. Ocean racing requires core characteristics such as teamwork, passion, speed, technology and a can-do-spirit. These values also boost our performance at DHL," he added.
