Mar 06, 2024 (newstodate): The recent volcanic eruptions on Iceland brought severe disruptions to the regional underground heating system, calling for urgent action in weather conditions at -15 degrees..
   Reported by Stattimes, the challenge was met by logistics company Blue Water Shipping in cooperation with NEO Air Charter, sourcing the charter of a Boeing 737F from the Icelandic cargo carrier Bluebird Nordic.
   -Despite cargo handler and customs staff shortages during the local Rose Monday public holiday, and an error in the declared size of the packages, NEO succeeded in having the pallets broken down, the 1,000 boxes of pipes individually X-ray scanned and re-packed onto 41 pallets. The shipment was then loaded onto the waiting freighter.  
   -In the end, the flight took off from Liege just two hours later than originally scheduled, and less than 24 hours after the initial booking.  
   -The goods arrived in Keflavik the same evening, Stattimes reports.
