From November last year (2003) SDV Auckland began the logistics for moving the integral parts of a marquee used for this special occasion in New Zealand from three different points in the north island to a remote staging location north of Auckland .

This huge stage was then shipped ex New Zealand in January this year to the US, New York and then to Hong Kong. There it will stay two months and then be shipped to Japan. Then to France by end of 2004 beginning 2005 and finally return to New Zealand..

This involved coordination of multiple truck & trailer loads sometimes running 24 hours a day to ensure the needs of the event management company were met and the rehearsal could go ahead as scheduled.

The entire structure and all associated equipment required were then loaded into a mixture of 27 forty and twenty foot containers along with 2 main deck aircraft pallets utilising Cargolux to New York.

SDV New Zealand had to prepare all carnets and associated documentation and whilst providing the necessary communication on a daily basis to the client staff around the world via email.
