Poseidon is described as a network of independent pharma ocean freight shippers and logistics providers with the core objective of reforming the pharmaceutical logistics process and making ocean freight the default mode of carriage for bulk medicines.
“The Poseidon model provides a revolutionary solution to the mounting problems associated with ensuring that sensitive pharmaceutical products are transported safely and within regulatory guidelines,” said Alan Kennedy, executive director of Poseidon. “This is a particularly important time for the Poseidon network, which will be commencing commercial activities during 2019 and developing a GDP-compliant part-load service.”
Weilmuenster is the head of global supply chain management at Frankfurt-based Merz Pharma GmbH & Co. KgaA and has overall responsibility for logistics planning and execution at the company.
The chairmanship of Poseidon’s governing council is a new, two-year position. Weilmuenster will be supported by Steve Brabbs, global technology leader for cold chain protection at DuPont, who was appointed vice chairman.
