As part of its end-to-end global integrator strategy, Maersk has launched a new rail service for reefer cargo between its Andalucía hub and Galicia.
The transit time for the new rail service for reefer cargo that connects Algeciras and Marin is 1 day and 12 hours. The new service departs from Algeciras port in Cadiz and arrives at Marin port (Pontevedra) every Friday at midday.
Maersk plans to use the rail service in aid of its goal of achieving net zero emissions for all its activities by 2040.
Maersk has launched this new service with a weekly call from Wednesday to Friday, but it expects to be able to scale the service up in response to rising demand for environmentally friendly transportation modes.
For project coordination, Maersk has relied on the involvement and support from Algeciras port authority, Marin port authority, Ria de Pontevedra, Marin Container Terminal, Temarin -Grupo Pérez Torres and the health ministry regulations.
