ASSOCIATED CONTAINER TRANSPORT (ACT): PRINTED MATERIAL

INTRODUCTION

Associated Container Transport (ACT) was created by five British shipping organisations. The five were: Ben Line, Blue Star Line, The Cunard Steam Ship Co., Ltd., Ellerman Lines Ltd. and the Harrison Line. The first meeting of the Board of Directors of ACT took place on the 12 January 1966. In August 1967, Blue Star, Ellerman Lines and Port Line joined together to form the Associated Container Transport (Australia) Ltd. Pacific America Container Express (PACE) Line was formed in March 1971. ACTA pioneered refrigeration techniques and has become the world's leading refrigerated container operator. In 1978 ACTA helped install the first centralised container refrigeration system at Zeebrugge.
