PrimeLINE scores with Hamburg Süd

Carrier Transicold has supplied Taiwan’s second largest liner shipping company with 2,000 of its PrimeLine reefer machines.

A sharp fall in orders for new containers has taken its toll on container manufacturers with H1 2023 revenues and profits at China International Marine Containers (CIMC), Dong Fang International Containers (DFIC) and Singamas well down on the corresponding period of 2022.

Evergreen Line has chosen the Carrier Transicold PrimeLINE system to replace existing machinery on 3,000 reefer containers.

Following its announcement four weeks ago that it was reviewing its Asia-Europe network, Maersk has announced that its biggest container vessels (18,000-20,000 TEU) will no longer call Hamburg. In another move, Maersk is relocating Hamburg Süd’s CAP SAN vessels calls from HHLA CTB to Eurogate CTH

Taiwanese carrier TS Lines Ltd has ordered another 1,000 reefer containers with Carrier Transicold PrimeLINE machinery to expand its reefer
capacity for inter-Asia services by 24%.

After completing regulatory approvals in 23 jurisdictions, Maersk Line has closed its €3.7 billion acquisition of Hamburg Süd from the Oetker Group, giving it almost a 20% share of total global container fleet capacity.
