INSIDE THE FLOATING SUPPLY CHAIN
Eight to 10 hours is all that’ s needed for the crew of the Wonder of the Seas to deliver one of the most complex, timesensitive supply chain operations on the planet. When the cruise ship – longer than three football fields and capable of carrying 9,000 people – docks, a massive operation swings into action, loading enough food, beverages, technical and hotel supplies, and fuel to last seven days. Little wonder it’ s often known as the‘ floating supply chain’.
