 Maersk’s Sealand commences new Spain-UK rail service

Maersk's subsidiary specialised on Intra-European logistics, Sealand will launch a new rail product from Spain to the United Kingdom, designed for temperature-sensitive cargo like fruits and vegetables.Get more news about Juk Rail Terminal,you can vist our website!

The new service will initially have three weekly departures from Valencia terminal to Barking terminal in East London. The trains will not carry only reefers, but will also transport non-refrigerated cargo on their southbound journey from the UK back to Spain.

After successful trials in September, the regular departures will start end of October, just in time for the Spanish peak season for fruit and vegetable exports, according to Maersk, which said that "over 90% of these exports are going North resulting in up to 1,400 trucks daily crossing the northern Spanish border towards the main markets in UK, France, Benelux, Germany and Scandinavia."

Diego Perdones Montero, Maersk's area managing director for France, Iberia and Maghreb, believes the new product will solve several challenges of the company's reefer customers in Spain.

The challenges according to Montero are that many large retailers want to reduce the carbon footprint of the products they sell, a shortage of truck drivers, which means that currently cross-border road transport is often limited and unreliable, and the fact that capacity and quality of the major roads are limited which leads to congestion.

"Our rail transport makes Spanish exporters independent from the driver shortage as well as road bottlenecks, and offers more than 90% lower CO2 emissions than a truck on the road," he pointed out.

More destinations could follow, according to Montero, including integrated ocean and rail solutions.

“Big customers – importers, growers and retailers alike – are operating with both, ocean and land-based cargo flows. By offering them our reliable landside distribution network via rail we will help to create faster, greener and more efficient routes regardless of the origin and destination of the sensitive cargo,” he said.

Wireline Coring Equipment

 Wireline Coring Equipment This is achieved using an inner tube with a core barrel head incorporated with latches that lock into the adaptor and locking couplings at the top of the core barrel outer tube. The inner tube is lowered into the outer barrel through constant internal bore drill tubes (drill rods). It then locks in position by means of the latching mechanism but is able to rotate through the bearing section incorporated in the core barrel head. At the end of the core run a recovery tool (overshot) is lowered through the drill string on a wireline. This locates on the top of the inner tube and retracts the latches when the wireline is hoisted. The inner tube and core can then be lifted to the surface.Get more news about Wireline Stop Ring ,you can vist our website! This technique has considerable advantages over conventional coring as the drill string does not have to be run in and out of the hole at the end of each core run. The wireline coring system has become the fav...

Special Issue "Radiation Shielding Materials (Volume II)"

 Special Issue "Radiation Shielding Materials (Volume II)" With the increased use of radiation across vast fields of work, it is necessary to also develop radiation shields that can adequately protect the bodies of workers and patients that come into contact with high-energy photons. Radiation shields, or materials that are used to absorb radiation, are necessary to properly attenuate ionizing radiation, which is defined as radiation that has sufficient energy to detach electrons from atoms. Long-term human exposure to ionizing radiation can cause permanent tissue damage, acute radiation syndrome, cancer, and death in extreme cases. Thus, to prevent these effects, workers and patients must be provided with efficient radiation shields that will lower the levels of radiation to safe enough levels.Get more news about  Shielding material ,you can vist our website!
