In September, this realisation resulted in a special collaboration between bremenports and Technisches Hilfswerk (THW). As a test, around 30 THW volunteers used some shovels and heavy equipment to fill as many sandbags as possible as quickly as possible. And they were successful. “The team was able to fill a good 1,500 bags per hour,” says THW spokesperson Julian Büchel.
