Fast transit times, particularly to Iberian peninsula

Big success in handling 40 foot high-cubes RAY SMUTS AS MACS – Maritime Carrier Shipping – celebrates its ninth year in refrigerated perishable containers, the line can look back in particular at successes in handling 40 foot high-cube reefers on its fortnightly multi-purpose services to and from Europe and Southern Africa. The company has since increased sailing frequency to every 8-10 days, offering Walvis Bay, Cape Town and Durban as load/discharge ports in Southern Africa and Vigo, Lisbon, Leixoes, Rotterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg in Europe. The company believes that part of its strength lies in fast transit times, especially to and from the Iberian peninsula. Transit time from Walvis Bay to Vigo is only 11 days and from Cape Town to Vigo 14 days, Lisbon and Leixoes feedered via Vigo on the northbound leg and Vigo and Leixoes via Lisbon on the southbound leg. All calls are direct and all the carrier’s reefer containers are less than five year-old, 40 foot highcube, integrals.
