COLD CHAIN LOGISTICS- FRUIT LOGISTICA 2022

DIARIO DEL PUERTO Trends 37 SUSTAINABILITY IN REFRIGERATED GOODS TRANSPORT Rail freight has become the best ally for cold chain logistics to promote sustainability and is positioning itself as a sustainable way to transport goods, as it emits 80% less greenhouse gases than other forms of transport. In this sense, the reefer rail service launched by Terminales Marítimas del Sureste, in conjunction with Transfesa Logistics, which connects the Port of Alicante to the United Kingdom, is particularly noteworthy. ”This initiative not only makes it possible to maintain the cold chain in temperaturecontrolled goods transport, but also contributes to the consolidation of what is known as green logistics”, Transfesa Logistics points out. This weekly route can transport 90% of refrigerated goods and 10% of dry cargo. The aim is to evolve towards intermodality, first using rail and then road transport. In addition, a new service is being launched that will originate in Tangiers, call at the Port of Alicante and then head for Marseilles. This will link Africa with Europe through an intermodal service, with a sustainable rail service as its backbone. Transfesa Logistics’ services contribute to the consolidation of what is known as green logistics.
