Reefer Containers

Posted by Kumkum on January 20th, 2018

A refrigerated container or reefer is an intermodal container ( transporting container ) used in intermodal freight transport that is refrigerated for the transportation of temperature sensible cargo . While a reefer will have an built-in refrigeration unit , they trust on extraneous power , from electric power points ( “reefer points” ) at a land established site , a container ship or on quay . The impact on society of reefer containers is huge , letting consumers all over the world to bask bracing produce at any time of year and experience previously unavailable bracing produce from many other parts of the world . Since they do not necessitate an extraneous power supply , cryogenically refrigerated containers can be stored anywhere on any vessel that can suit `` ironic '' ( un-refrigerated ) ocean freight containers .

Technical characteristics of mod refrigerated containers are such that they let you to keep the temperature of goods in the range of -25 to +25 degrees Celsius . Transportation of refrigerated containers by rail , on the one hand , is a instinctive extension of sea container transport and a link of multi-modal transport . It is necessitated by Application 4 ( regulations for the transport of perishable goods ) to the SMGS ( Agreement on International Goods Transport by Rail – the prescriptive document regulating the canonic operation principles of railways of countries participating in the agreement ) , on the basis of which the railroad accepts the goods for transport .

The resulting pressure has engendered important investments in reefer technology and equipment to assist shippers run into FSMA requirements , better costs and productivity , and maintain pace with exploding demand ( Food Safety News ) . Available for both reefers and ironic loads , these chic containers currently give a battery life of three years ( with a goal of ten ) while extinguishing the logistics and costs involved in adding and removing tracking hardware ( JOC.com ) . Available for both reefers and ironic loads , these chic containers currently give a battery life of three years ( with a goal of ten ) while extinguishing the logistics and costs involved in adding and removing tracking hardware ( JOC.com ) . In addition to the trailer , proposed applications for the battery pack admit powering air conditioning and heating in sleeper cab , or powering full reefer units .

Essentially , M2M is the process whereby one machine talks to another over a communication channel , generally GSM or satellite . from Latin America ) , may be transporting 2,000 reefer containers on board , you can understand the value of widening distant visibility and control to the maritime leg of container supply chains . This includes former incident detection and response to cut down damage , loss and claims and assist debar dearly-won supply chain breakdowns

• Process automation in container terminals and ports to back up functional safety and efficiency with real-time insight into logistics processes , as well as tracking the location , utilization , status and performance of managing equipment and vehicles

• Regulatory , supplying difficult data and chain of custody for compliance with security , environmental , food and pharmaceutic safety laws

In terms of who is driving adoption , cargo interests , logistics providers , shipping and transport entities , port operators , governments , regulative agencies and other external bodies are all playing a part .

In any case , the transportation of specialised containers , including refrigerated containers by rail has a number of features as compared to carry by road and transportation of cosmopolitan containers .
