Globe Tracker data for Smyril

Rochelle Park (NJ)-based ORBCOMM Inc, which is one of the leading innovators in the development of IoT technology for the supply chain and equipment asset management businesses, has launched a new solar-powered asset tracking device.

Carrier will re-sell IoT On Vessel Networks from Net Feasa to provide onboard connectivity for smart reefer and dry containers.

Italian start-up ARMS Srl – a joint venture of Smart Shipping Solutions Srl, SCAME SPA and AGAVE Srl – is continuing to develop the automated reefer power and data connection system that was first tested at La Spezia Container Terminal in 2021.

US-based Refrigerated Transport Electronics (RTE) continues to add functionality to its GRASP site-based reefer container monitoring system for container terminal operators.

The EU’s proposed ban on various PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) could have a massive impact on the reefer shipping industry, particularly those stakeholders owning refrigerated containers and using this mode to transport their perishable products.

MCI has now delivered over 250,000 dual refrigerant ready reefer machines, but very few use R513A today, despite it being lower GWP than R134a
