, Your company, based in Strasbourg (France), wishes to import drones and their
remote controls destined for children and adults to play with.
As you work in the purchasing department, you must order 120 toy drones. They are
packed in correctly labelled cardboard boxes, which weigh 4 kg each and have a
volume of 0.5 m3. The 120 boxes fit on 19 pallets each wrapped in a plastic film
(enough to fill a 40 feet container).
These drones contain lithium batteries which can cause a lot of damage if they burn,
especially as humidity and extreme temperatures can cause electric shortcuts, and
water can destroy their internal electronics.
They will all be shipped from very far away, so they will have to cover very long
distances (including grounds, mountains, oceans).
