Dubai: United Arab Shipping Company, UASC, a container shipping line and emerging global carrier, plans to make significant investment in new “reefer” units, the company announced on Sunday at WOP (World of Perishables) Dubai, the international perishables exhibition for the Middle East. The expansion of its fleet of refrigerated units and enhanced geographic access to the South America trades — following UASC’s recently announced cooperation with Hamburg Sud — ensures that all UASC customers now have access to the important South America trades as part of UASC’s comprehensive global reach, including those moving refrigerated cargo. With a global network servicing established and emerging markets, UASC’s steadily expanding “reefer” fleet is one of the youngest in the industry, with an average “reefer” container age of three years.
