(of the Group Altrans), which participates in this new service. "With this new service - says Revilla - we shorten our transit time and facilitate the collection and delivery from anywhere in the peninsular North through our own logistical centres." Together with the maritime groupage and full containers, the new line of Rhenus Logistics between Galicia and the Canary Islands also offers air service managed by facilities in Madrid.
Ports operating with this new line in Galicia are the Vigo and also the Marín, from which three prestigious shipping work with destination Canary with departures Friday, Saturday or Sunday, depending on origin and shipping company.
