MSC to transport reefer containers by rail between Gioia Tauro and Verona

The service, with weekly frequency, will be offered by Medlog and will be integrated with the group's network of sea connections

Msc has announced the launch of a new intermodal rail transport service between Gioia Tauro and Verona, dedicated in particular to refrigerated containers. With weekly frequency, the service is aimed in particular at the traffic of agri-food products, including imports, with a transit time of 24 hours from point to point. The activity will be organized in particular by Medlog, the logistics arm of Msc.

Further details – such as the start-up time, other operators involved, etc. – are not available, but as clarified by the group, the service will benefit from MSC's integrated offering, evidently including maritime connections, which will guarantee end-to-end logistics and in particular "faster transit times to distribution hubs in Europe" as well as "reduced transhipment activities, with maintenance of the integrity of the cold chain".
