Spanish reefer rail service launched
One day and 12 hours is the transit time for the new rail service for reefer cargo that connects Algeciras and Marin in Spain. Operated by Maersk, the trains depart from Algeciras port in Cadiz and arrive at Marin port (Pontevedra) every Friday at midday.
This is Spain's first rail service for reefer cargo, the company said, and a primary benefit for Maersk's customers. It facilitates cargo delivery to Galicia ahead of schedule, allowing for weekend deliveries and distribution to final retailers. Furthermore, it helps to reduce the impact on the environment. Maersk expects to increase the frequency of the service in the near future, in response to rising demand. (ben)
