Maersk recently flagged off a weekly reefer rail service connecting Hyderabad’s pharmaceutical manufacturing cluster to Nhava Sheva port. Developed in partnership with CONCOR (Container Corporation of India), the service addresses the industry’s need for a temperature-controlled and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mode of transport compared to road transport.
The service is designed for Hyderabad’s pharmaceutical exporters and operates on a fixed weekly schedule, transporting 40-foot refrigerated containers (reefers). Pre-trip inspection (PTI) compliance and container selection aligned with quality requirements are included in every shipment.
