Student Universiade in Russia With German Timekeeping Logistics

FRANKFURT, Germany and KAZAN, Russia, July 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Conceptum Sport Logistics taking care of the transports of all timekeeping equipment for the FISU Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia

The Universiade of the FISU (International University Sports Federation, http://www.fisu.net) is taking place for the 27th time. The Russian city of Kazan was chosen as the venue - and German event logistics company Conceptum Sport Logistics (CSL - http://www.conceptum-sport-logistics.com) is transporting the sensitive timekeeping equipment. In June, all the equipment was already transported to Kazan in a convoy of 8 trucks and distributed to the competition sites under the eagle eye of Conceptum Sport Logistics. The FISU Universiade in Kazan will end on 17 July - the host country, Russia, is currently also at the top of the medals table.

More than 13,500 athletes and delegation members from 170 countries and more than 1,000 media representatives have turned Kazan into the global centre of student sports over this period in a demonstration of unity among the world's nations - it was ten years after the foundation of the FISU in 1948 before athletes from the Eastern bloc countries were able to participate. The logistics is very challenging. Custom duties, for example, have to be paid for transports from all corners of the globe - there is no exception for sports equipment when it comes to bureaucracy. For the cultural project logistics company based near to Frankfurt airport, the project is a small challenge and additional training for the Olympic games in 2014: "Preparations for Sochi 2014 have been underway since the beginning of last year - the Universiade, alongside the training events, gives us another opportunity (…)".
