Horizon Lines adding 1,200 new 45-foot containers

Advertiser Staff

Horizon Lines Inc. today said it will take delivery of 1,200 new 45-foot shipping containers in this month as part of an ongoing equipment investment program. Since the beginning of 2007, Horizon has ordered 2,200 new dry containers and 600 new 40-foot high-cube boxes. The company also has added more than 1,000 new high-cube refrigerated containers.

Horizon said it has added more than 235 flat-racks particularly to service Hawai'i, where such oversized cargo shipping equipment is especially useful for construction and heavy equipment shippers.
