ConFoot adds VGM scales
NewsConFoot Ltd has developed a version of its container legs with integrated scales for weighing containers.
After testing the management of fresh mangoes in Star Cool reefer containers with Maersk Container Industry’s (MCI) Controlled Atmosphere (CA) system last year, Africa Express Line (AEL) has taken delivery of 500 new reefers equipped with the system.
The containers will be deployed to service AEL’s owner, French fruit exporter Compagnie Fruitiere, on routes to and from Europe and West Africa. As well as featuring MCI’s CA system, they will also be compatible with other Modified Atmosphere systems used by AEL.
All the Star Cool reefer containers will be equipped with REFCON RMM+ modems, which AEL is implementing across all its reefer fleet, for remote access to monitor the assets, temperature, atmosphere, and alarms logged in real time.
AEL’s progress with its reefer monitoring system is discussed in detail on p28-29 of this edition of WorldCargo News.
