Safmarine’s Reefer Express returns

The seasonal SAECS Reefer Express (REX) service, which was first launched three years ago to provide extra capacity during the South African peak fruit season, is back for the 2011 season.
 

According to Safmarine’s South Africa-Europe trade manager Ian Fairlie, sailings for this year’s REX service – which operates between South Africa and Europe – will begin on May 28th.

The REX Service will call at Port Elizabeth > Cape Town > Tilbury > Rotterdam > Port Elizabeth, with Lisbon subject to inducement on the northbound leg.

According to Fairlie, plug capacity on the six vessels deployed on the 2011 REX Service has been adjusted in line with the anticipated increased seasonal demand.

Although the REX service is marketed as an additional, weekly ‚purely reefer‘ container service (provided in addition to the core SAECS service), the service will also be available to shippers of dry cargo.
