Who is Ferdinand Magellan
The voyage was long and dangerous, and only one ship returned home three years later. Although it was laden with valuable spices from the East, only 18 of the fleet's original crew of 270 returned with the ship. Magellan himself was killed in battle on the voyage, but his ambitious expedition proved that the globe could be circled by sea and that the world was much larger than had previously been imagined.

While at the court Magellan was exposed to stories of the great Portuguese and Spanish rivalry for sea exploration and dominance over the spice trade in the East Indies, especially the Spice Islands, or Moluccas, in modern Indonesia. Intrigued by the promise of fame and riches, Magellan developed an interest in maritime discovery in those early years.

What did Christopher Columbus explore?
In the 15th and 16th centuries, the Europeans wanted to find sea routes to the East. Columbus wanted to find a new route to the Far East, to India, China, Japan and the Spice Islands. If he could reach these lands, he would be able to bring back rich cargoes of silks and spices. Columbus knew that the world was round and realised that by sailing west, instead of east around the coast of Africa, as other explorers at the time were doing, he would still reach the East and the rich Spice Islands.

Could you please clarify the definition and timing of the two delivery modes?
Crisis and /or Preparedness delivery modes are just an indication for users (not for the industry or the contractor) to understand the expected composition of the products depending on whether they are activated under a tight deadline or not, as specified in the Order Form. Deadlines for deliveries are based on different factors, including users’ needs and expected workload. Based on these factors and the resulting deadline, an intensity level is applied. The intensity level determines the production capacity needed for the fulfilment of the expected workload within a given timeframe. The production capacity corresponding to each intensity level will depend on the terms of the Contractor’s technical offer.
