Baleària has more than 7,000 linear meters per week of capacity for transporting refrigerated goods between the Canary Islands and the Peninsula, as part of the logistical offer that the company is presenting these days at Fruit Attraction, which is being held in Madrid. The shipping company participates in the horticultural fair with its own space in pavilion 4, where it holds meetings with logistics operators and companies linked to the movement of perishable products.
The operation has more than 480 electrical connections on board the three ships servicing these traffics. These sockets allow the refrigerated units to remain connected during navigation and manage the transport of agri-food products that require controlled temperature conditions, among them the Canary banana and other perishable goods.
The company had detailed last June the configuration of its connections between Cádiz and the Canary Islands, with four weekly services operated by three ships. Two of them are exclusively dedicated to cargo and each makes one rotation, while the third combines the transport of passengers and goods and makes two trips.
Within this schedule is the Josefina de la Torre, incorporated into the connections with the archipelago at the end of June. The ship has capacity for 4,000 linear meters of cargo, equivalent to about 280 trucks, and has 230 electrical sockets intended for refrigerated units. It is 209 meters long and operates alongside the Villa de Tazacorte, also exclusively dedicated to goods, and the passenger and cargo ferry Volcán de Tinamar.
