One of the largest sailing events in the world, the World Sailing Games, will take place from 10 to 20 May 2006 for the first time on an inland lake, the Neusiedler See.

Some 900 sailors from 70 countries will compete for the title of world champion in Rust, Breitenbrunn, Neusiedl/See, Weiden/See and Podersdorf.



As with all major sporting events, logistic organisation is vital to the smooth running of the competitions. The ISAF World Sailing Games 2006 is relying on the know-how of SCHENKERglobalsportsevents and has appointed Schenker as its official logistics partner.

Schenker will offer a full-service logistics programme including the transfer of boats and equipment from Europe and other countries to the competition venues, local handling and return of the equipment.

SCHENKERglobalsportsevents is to be found at major sporting events throughout the world. Apart from the World Sailing Games, Schenker is the official supplier for transport and customs clearance to the IOC and a partner of the Austrian Olympic Committee. It is also the official logistics partner of the Italian Winter Sports Federation FISI, the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games, the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, the Cycling World Championship in Austria, the Fussball Globus FIFA WM 2006™ and, last but not least, the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
