BWS' good customer - Danish Crown entrusted them with a very important assignment for the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, which had been postponed until 23 July 2021, due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. 

Its scope was to transport a classic Danish hot dog stand from the Royal Danish Embassy in Beijing, China to the Royal Danish Embassy in Tokyo, Japan.

Timely delivery

The hot dog stand was transported by sea. Despite the hectic market situation as well as more stringent customs and veterinary requirements in Japan, we managed to deliver on time. This made it possible to serve sausages at the opening ceremony in Tokyo and hot dogs at the silver party for the Danish handball men’s team,” says Lars Kristiansen from Blue Water’s Exhibition department in Esbjerg.

Lars Kristiansen is temporarily seconded to the BWS Sea Freight department which made good use of his vast experience and competencies in connection with transport.
