Container Management In-depth articles on a wide range of topics in global port and terminal development
Evergreen Line has ordered 3,000 PrimeLINE reefer units from Carrier Transicold, aiming to take advantage of their refrigeration performance and power efficiency.
Andrew See, general manager of global container refrigeration, Greater China at Carrier Transicold, said: ““With its digital scroll compressor, the PrimeLINE unit has a reputation for energy efficiency and a value proposition that includes rapid pull-down, tight temperature
control, high air-flow performance and excellent cost of ownership.
“Evergreen’s PrimeLINE units feature our LED control-display option, which the shipping line considers advantageous for ship crew members visually monitoring stacked containers onboard a vessel.”
The majority of the 3,000 units are being installed on 40 ft high-cube containers with the balanced mounted on 20 ft containers, all acquired for replacement.
Instructors from the reefer manufacturer periodically provide refrigeration unit operation and repair programs in connection with other specialised training.
