When dealing with gorgeous fresh produce, one would want it to reach the customers in the best condition. And by best condition, it's not just about its quality; it's also about the way it's transported.

To ensure that an extra layer of sustainability gets added to the produce, Maersk has the first reefer train in Chile. To achieve this, Maersk now has a new train station and depot near the critical areas of fruit producers. In collaboration with the National Rail Company, this train station and depot is strategically located within 200 km from San Antonio (previously accessible only by road). 

What makes this an ideal option?

  • Sustainable: The train can transport goods equivalent to 31 trucks, reducing CO2 emissions by around 70%.
  • Time-Saving: You can reach the port in 4 hours, saving up to 50% of the time by avoiding any disruption that might appear during the road journey.
  • Strategic Location: The station and depot are situated 30 km around the main fruit production area in Chile (Curicó, Teno, Chimbarongo, and San Fernando), making it well connected.
  • Fewer Delays: With the new train service, customers can now get a more optimised supply chain journey and avoid any surprise disruption due to road accidents and other physical disturbances that were common with trucks.
