Maersk gives South African exporters a preview of its Cape Town cold storage facility
Global integrated logistics company Maersk invited existing and potential customers in South Africa to visit its Belcon Logistics Park, in Cape Town, for a preview of the upcoming cold store facility.
The Belcon Logistics Park will be part of a network of three cold storage facilities that Maersk will operate in South Africa before the end of the year.
The facility will be formally inaugurated in the last quarter of the year, but it will start welcoming cargo for some of its customers by next month.
The logistics of perishables such as grapes, citrus, oranges and other fruit are highly critical.
Maersk highlights it ambition to minimise the losses for South African exporters caused by delays and a broken cold chain in logistics.
Maersk invited some of South Africa’s exporters to preview the facility and what its integrated logistics solutions, which include consolidation, storage, customs brokerage, terminal handling and both ocean and landside transportation at origin and destination.
Alongside the Belcon Logistics Park, Maersk will open its new Cato cold store facility in Cato Ridge, near Durban, later this year.
Maersk’s new cold store facilities will align with its global ambition to achieve net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2040 by using renewable energy, the company points out.
