The Waltair Railway division of the East Coast Railway Zone flagged off its first refrigerator container rake, laden with 43 containers with a load of 1,080 tonnes of frozen shrimp to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority in Mumbai. The inaugural export-laden refrigerator container rake (reefer) departed from the Container Corporation of India’s (Concor) multi-modal logistics park, Visakhapatnam late on Sunday with Hapag-Lloyd containers.

It is expected to reach Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust in Mumbai in 36 hours for onward shipment of the consignment through a shipping liner to its export destination.

“The inaugural rake, consisting of wagons equipped with power packs, carried a substantial 1,080 tonnes of frozen shrimps. This helps in generating additional revenue with new traffic,” the Waltair Division said.
