Sea route as a future perspective for cut flowers from Africa

Mærsk Line cites the following advantages of transport by ocean-going vessel for producers in Africa:

• a viable transport option, allowing you to access the big markets in Europe and the Middle East
• flowers retain their freshness and are assured of an excellent vase life
• Ocean shipping is a more sustainable mode of transport, giving more than 90% reduction in carbon emissions

The company promotes itself with the following arguments:

• End-to-end integrated solutions: Maersk coordinates the entire transport chain as a single point of contact
• Refrigerated cargo expertise with a fleet of world-class reefers and deep commodity expertise
• Development of an alternative logistic solution to air freight

Certainly, Mærsk Line is not the only company that will push the transport of flowers on ocean-going vessels in the future. Experts expect this area to grow significantly over the next few years.
