Maersk India, the Indian unit of integrated logistics company A P Moller-Maersk, said it will start a dedicated weekly rail service for export reefers (refrigerated containers) in the next few days linking Dadri in Northern India with Jawaharlal Nehru Port on the country's western coast.
Prajeesh Ravindranathan, Head of Cold Chain and Pharma, South Asia: "Especially in reefers, inventory management from empty pick up till vessel boarding, the customers have to reach out to multiple touch points. To give ease of doing business to customers, we are starting a dedicated weekly rail service for export reefers from Dadri to Nhava Sheva (where J.N. Port is located)."
Maersk said it will be the first ever export reefer dedicated, scheduled rail service, which will make it seamless from inventory allotment till vessel onboarding.
