Del Monte Fresh
Produce, a North America marketer and distributor of high-quality fresh and fresh-cut fruit and vegetables, has announced that two of its energy efficient container vessels, Del Monte Harvester and Del Monte Valiant, will be moving to the West Coast.
Each vessel has a full cargo capacity of 1,276 TEU with 634 plugs for 40-foot high cube reefer containers, and given the perishable nature of fresh fruits and vegetables, the air-cooled containers will maintain the cargo at specified temperatures, traveling in reefer mode with multiple temperature variants from -25
o to 40
oC.
Bringing the vessels to the West Coast will not only allow Del Monte Fresh Produce to have full control over its fleet; it will also assist with speeding up shipping times, ensuring that customers receive the freshest products.
