In deze periode moet je langer op je nieuwe fiets wachten dan anders. Maar lees onderstaand bericht en je zult begrijpen dat het bij sommige fietsmerken misschien wel heel lang duren!
GULF of OMAN, Oman - “HNLMS De Zeven Provincien (F 802), a destroyer from the Netherlands came to the aid of a vessel in distress and rescued 27 people off the coast of Yemen March 21 while conducting maritime security operations (MSO) in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in the area.
Approximately 43 miles off the coast of Yemen, the cargo ship was in distress as the result of a large fire on board. The cause of the fire is not known at this time.
Not a special report by any means, as there are ships in trouble, everyday, on every sea – and we hear precious little about that. But in this case, the report has far-stretching consequences for our business. Of the 5500 containers aboard, some 2,249 containers were ‘discharged’ or in plain English, went overboard. In a large number of those containers are bicycles and accessories. Dutch AGU for instance, knows that a container with bike underwear, which they badly need, is some still somewhere on the ship, apparently safe. Other containers are packed with the full year’s production of certain types of bikes. We have tried to get hold of the bill of lading, to find out exactly which bikes are concerned, but have had no success as yet.
