SeaCube continues to add more reefer equipment with Carrier Transicold machinery. Following an order for 5,000 units with controlled atmosphere systems in 2018, SeaCube has now expanded its fleet with a further 5,000 new 40-foot high-cube containers with Carrier Transicold PrimeLINE refrigeration systems.

SeaCube’s newest acquisitions include 4,000 containers equipped with Carrier PrimeLINE refrigeration units and 1,000 PrimeLINE ONE refrigerated containers. PrimeLINE ONE is the integrated reefer with Carrier machinery that is assembled with the containers at the relatively new reefer container manufacturing plant in Qingdao. The facility was built by Singamas, and was one of the box plants Singamas sold last year to COSCO last year. The PrimLINE ONE reefers are now produced by Carrier jointly with Dong Fang International Container Co., Ltd. (a member of COSCO group.)

SeaCube is backing innovation in the reefer leasing sector, and now counts Carrier’s NaturaLINE CO2 machinery and the new PrimeLINE ONE in its fleet. Over the past year the company has acquired 2,950 PrimeLINE ONE refrigerated containers, the most of any container leasing company, SeaCube stated.

“We continue to specify Carrier Transicold for the majority of our refrigerated containers based primarily on our customers’ preferences,” said Bob Sappio, CEO of SeaCube. “More often than not, our customers want the Carrier machine, and the workhorse PrimeLINE system remains the standard-bearer, while interest in PrimeLINE ONE continues to grow.”

“SeaCube has long specified Carrier Transicold container refrigeration units, and we appreciate the opportunity to continue serving its needs with our popular PrimeLINE systems, which have been the industry leader in sales for more than a decade,” said Kartik Kumar, vice president and general manager, Carrier Global Container Refrigeration.
