Active management

Hupac makes available the instruments, resources and processes needed to guarantee an adequate system for safety management.

 

Focus on prevention

Dangerous goods

Hupac has put in place a centralised service specifically dedicated to this kind of transport, headed by a Dangerous Goods compliance advisor, appointed and trained according to the provisions of Directive 96/35/CE. 

 

Monitoring and improvement

Hupac regularly verifies the safety level in the company to identify any shortcomings and intervening in critical situations. Monitoring and controlling provide the basis for the continuous improvement process.

New booking system: get priority for better planning

Hupac Intermodal is developing a new capacity planning process that allows to offer a better service level to the customers.


The aim is to allocate the customers' shipments to a specific train and to provide them with full and reliable information.

The new booking rules will be introduced in September 2019. They foresee three levels of priority:
1) Book and deliver early >> Get first priority for loading
2) Book later and deliver early >> Get second priority for loading
3) Book and deliver last minute >> Loading after all priority units.

For priority bookings, full information is required:
> Departure and arrival terminal
> Requested departure date
> Unit type, length, weight and code
> Estimated time of arrival at the departure terminal
 
With this new system, Hupac will be able to manage the priorities and allow the customers to better plan and steer the logistic flows.
