Maersk opens warehouse in Cape Town


A.P. Moller – Maersk has inaugurated its first warehousing and distribution facility in Cape Town in South Africa. The hub will offer easy connectivity to rail, road, air and port infrastructure and serve as an important link in integrated logistics solutions.

 

The new facility is spread over 10,000 sqm and has an additional open yard space of 3,500 sqm. It has over 85% area covered with racking providing for 7,000 pallet locations. The rail siding will enable reliable, faster, cost-efficient, and greener access into/out of the port in Cape Town, bypassing traffic, and port gate congestion.

 

Maersk says that the new warehousing and distribution hub will be used as a crucial link in the end-to-end supply chain management for the customers’ cargo from origin to destination.

 

With complete data integration into its state-of-the-art warehouse management system, customers will be guaranteed clear visibility of their cargo's movement and better inventory management. The facility also boasts dedicated back-up power and top-notch safety for fire compliance with automatic sprinkler inspection bureau certification. (ben)
