Review the alternative route of moving the goods via Rotterdam, on rail to Moscow and then on to Kazakhstan and to Aktau. Describe the route and the issues you see that might delay or cause bottlenecks.
• Advise on why you would choose one route, assuming all the routes have the same total direct cost.
• Identify from commonly available logistics data the choke points, risks, and constraints.
• Describe how you would suggest you mitigate these. Treat this as if the company success was dependent on your ability to deliver goods on a regular basis to this market. Failure will result in the company suffering large losses on a contract.
