NON OPERATING REEFER CONTAINERS … AN IMPORTANT MONDIALE VGL OFFERING
Did you know that reefer containers can be used to carry non refrigerated cargo at a reduced ocean freight cost?
Known as non-operating reefers (NORs) – shipping lines generally reposition these containers empty into New Zealand to load and ship frozen and perishable goods across the world and Mondiale VGL are now able to access a regular supply of NORs from selected origin ports to load with Import cargo and pass on a reduced ocean freight cost.
We can obtain NORs from the following ports (as always are subject to equipment availability at each origin).
- Shanghai
- Shekou
- Ningbo
- Hong Kong
- Keelung
- Kaohsiung
- Busan
- Xiamen
- Xingang
- Qingdao
- Dalian
- Port Klang
- Singapore
- Ho Chi Minh
The below table is a guide to the capacity of an NOR vs standard container and while there is a loss of capacity vs a 40ft High Cube, the 40ft NOR capacity is similar to a standard 40ft container.
If you would like to explore this opportunity further, please get in touch with your Mondiale representative who can provide further information and indication of costings.
