CEVA Logistics first to receive new IATA CEIV Lithium Battery certification
International Air Transport Association (IATA) on Tuesday announced CEVA Logistics as the world’s first company to receive its new CEIV Lithium Battery (CEIV LiBa) certification, during the annual World Cargo Symposium (WCS) in Dublin, Ireland,
CEVA’s Amsterdam and Hong Kong air freight stations are now CEIV certified in the handling of lithium batteries. The certification confirms each facility’s ability to properly handle and store lithium batteries, as well as validates the necessary training and expertise of on-site employees.
"CEVA Logistics has plans to extend its certifications beyond Amsterdam and Hong Kong, with additional certified locations expected in Asia, Europe and the Americas," reads the CEVA release.
Peter Penseel, COO of air freight for CEVA Logistics, said, “Our automotive, healthcare and technology customers appreciate our ability to seamlessly deliver responsive logistics solutions no matter the destination or cargo type, like lithium batteries. Our experience in transporting a wide range of batteries made us an ideal partner with IATA in piloting their new CEIV certification. IATA continues to lead the way in providing standards, regulations and guidelines to improve overall quality and safety in the air transport industry.”
