SCL, SPOORNET TO MOVE REEFER BOXES BY RAIL
Safmarine Container Lines and the South African rail authority
Spoornet
have begun moving reefer containers by rail in South Africa, using
train-mounted generators.
The companies said they have transported 32 forty-foot reefer
containers from the Orange River farming area to Cape Town,
600 kilometers away.
SCL said the reefer-on-rail system will enhance the quality and shelf
life of fruit exported from South Africa’s interior.
