Seatrade chooses Maersk to manufacture 4,000 integrated reefers
“It is essential that our reefer container equipment supports our Fast, Direct and Dedicated concept. Besides timely delivery, our customers need the longest possible shelf life for their produce. The vast majority of our cargo is perishable fruit and vegetables requiring a chilled mode of transportation with narrow variations in temperature and the monitoring of food preservation,” said Yntze Buitenwerf, President and Chairman, Seatrade. “In addition, energy efficiency, whole life costs and long-term operational value are critical to our operations. To ensure these parameters are met, we carried out extensive field test trials and carefully analysed performance.”
With a total value in excess of USD 55 million, the total Star Cool order is expected to be completed sometime in December 2016.
