ACL Ro-Con Vessel ATLANTIC SAIL at Fairview Cove

ACLs second new G4 Container/Ro-Ro vessel called again at Fairview Cove terminal on the 13th July 2016. The ships present a unique profile in the container
ship world, one which ACL hopes will maintain its very respected claim of never having lost a container in their long history of trans-Atlantic shipping. The use of the container constraint system visually obvious is the reason for such a well deserved claim. Bravo Zulu to ACL.
