Samskip adding to container fleet

Samskip adding to container fleet    The Icelandic shipping company Samskip is following its acquisition of two short-sea carriers, Geest North Sea Line and Seawheel, with the addition of 2,400 new 45-foot containers to its fleet.
   Of these, 2,300 are standard 45-foot pallet-wide boxes. The remaining 100 containers are 45-foot pallet width curtain-sided units.
   These containers will be used to replace old Seawheel equipment and expensive leased units, said Paul Swaak, Samskip/Geest North Sea Line's operations director.
