Carrier to deliver 5,000 new reefers for MSC

Hapag-Lloyd, which is leading the liner shipping industry when it comes to fitting smart devices to its dry freight containers, is pressing ahead with its installation programme. It expects the whole of its 1.6M TEU owned fleet to be smart early in 2024. Already more than 80% of its reefer containers are fitted with devices that in addition to tracking the container’s position, monitor temperature and humidity levels inside the equipment.

There is no doubt that advances in technology, particularly in the development of controlled atmosphere (CA) systems has contributed to the growth in the reefer container shipping industry, and this is set to continue.

Daikin’s Active CA has successfully demonstrated that delicate Thai mangoes can be converted from air freight to ocean transport.

Chiquita’s Great White Fleet has added 800 new reefer containers with Carrier Transicold’s PrimeLINE container refrigeration units.

Ocean Network Express (ONE) is installing Carrier Transicold’s Lynx Fleet solution onto its existing fleet of Carrier refrigerated containers.

ZIM is adding the Sekstant door sensor to its growing fleet of Star Cool reefers with MCI’s remote reefer monitoring system..
