This type of reefer is made of one piece with an integral front wall. The integrated heating and cooling unit enable it to be used with all seagoing containers that conform to ISO standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Type 2 \u2013 Modified\/Controlled Atmosphere (MA\/CA)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">MA\/CA container units are distinguished from closed reefers by their enhanced insulation. In order to maintain a consistent interior environment, specialized air exchange controllers replace oxygen consumed, ensuring the environment matches cargo specifications throughout the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Type 3 \u2013 Automatic Fresh Air Management Containers (AFAM)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">AFAM containers are effectively an upgraded version of MA\/CA containers and are the most sophisticated reefer containers available on the market today. By using an array of sensors to adjust the fresh air exchange rate, this type of container is able to precisely control oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, effectively extending the shelf life of the cargo inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reefer containers for goods shipping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Since the advent of reefer containers in the 1960s, they have revolutionised the way in which perishable goods are transported and have replaced traditional reefer ships as the predominant way of transporting produce in controlled conditions. Reefer containers have only improved since then as, over time, improvements in technology have made reefers more efficient. This is especially important considering the fact that the seaborne perishable trade is expected to grow by 5% each year between now and 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">For businesses that deal with perishable goods, reefer containers will likely be a crucial component in your supply chain. TFG has put together this post to help you find out everything you need to know about them, including how they work, what they cost and why they\u2019re beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Reefer Containers Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Reefer containers have many different functionalities that can help with the transportation of sensitive goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Temperature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Reefer containers can maintain cargo temperatures of between -35\u00b0C and +35\u00b0C regardless of the outside environmental conditions. They do this by channelling air underneath the cargo through T-shaped decking, which has been specifically designed to ensure air can flow across the entire shipment correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">In addition to being able to maintain the temperature of pre-cooled cargo, reefer containers are also able to raise cargo temperatures when required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Humidity, ventilation, and atmosphere<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">The control unit on the container allows for the setting and adjustment of parameters such as temperature, humidity, ventilation and atmosphere. The settings used will vary depending on the type of cargo being transported. For example, controlling the CO2 and O2 levels in a unit containing fruit can substantially lengthen the ripening process, allowing it to be kept fresher for longer. Many types of fruit require no humidity control, but most will need to be stored at a very specific temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">To do all this, reefer containers require a constant supply of electricity. This is supplied either by the vessel\u2019s power outlet or by \u2018gensets\u2019 \u2013 portable generators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video: Maersk Line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">If you want to see how reefer containers work first hand, this video does a great job of explaining it!<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"full-width block-video\">\n  <div class=\"container w-auto\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mw2SsYY5bwE\" title=\"Knowing the reefer | Maersk Line\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Benefits of a Reefer Container<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Over the last decade, reefer containers have been successfully competing for trade with reefer ships and have quickly increased their market share. This is no surprise when you consider the following advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:16px\">\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">They often don\u2019t need to be put into cold storage upon arrival at their destination as they are self-contained refrigerated units.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">They are available in a variety of dimensions, which makes them suitable for road, sea, and air transportation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">They can be partitioned to create different departments at different temperatures. This allows for the storage of both frozen and chilled goods in the same container.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">They are durable and can remain operational in harsh environmental conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">They can be transported by diversified carriers. This offers greater financial security and a faster return on investment than specialised reefer ships.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">They can prevent products from ripening too quickly and ensure a longer shelf-life by circulating cool air.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Despite their many benefits, there are still certain challenges facing the reefer container industry. For example, HFG refrigerants are still commonly used in reefer containers. These refrigerants have been proven to be a major contributor to global warming and there is an ongoing movement across environmental agencies and governments to reduce their usage. Reefer containers are adapting to this by moving towards more eco-friendly alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"737\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-1024x737.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-1024x737.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-768x553.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-320x230.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-370x266.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-414x298.jpg 414w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-417x300.jpg 417w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-278x200.jpg 278w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-347x250.jpg 347w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-225x162.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-221x159.jpg 221w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-171x123.jpg 171w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1-264x190.jpg 264w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/The-Dos-and-Donts-of-Reefer-Containers-Diagram-scaled-1.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reefer container dimensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">The dimensions of reefer containers vary depending on the manufacturer.
