Daikin Reefer has been working in collaboration with a Thai mango shipper SWIFT Co. Ltd and CMA CGM on both static and live trial shipments using Daikin Active CA technology to transport Nam Doc Mai (Honey) and Mahachanok (Rainbow) mangoes from Thailand to Korea and Japan.
The initial static trial was conducted for both mango varieties in order to simulate a typical sea voyage using a 20ft container fitted with Daikin Reefer CA (controlled atmosphere). Mangoes at varying levels of maturity (ripeness) were ‘shipped’ over 15 days using the static CA container in the shipper’s factory.
The static trial outturn was very good. Daikin’s Active CA technology with its customized control logic provided the precise atmosphere management needed to preserve the shelf-life of the mangoes, ensuring high-quality cargo outturn and proving that a switch in transport mode from air to sea is now possible.
