MSC expands its reefer fleet

CA is an active process to regulate atmosphere composition to extend the shelf-life, maintain the appearance, freshness and quality of perishable products such as stone fruit, apple, avocado, lettuce and persimmon, explains MSC. It does this by slowing the natural ripening process by reducing oxygen concentration and increasing the carbon dioxide levels within the container.

Star Cool CA is based on the concept of an effective, simple and low-energy CA system that is built into the Star Cool Integrated Reefer. By integrating the refrigeration unit directly into the container box, MSC can offer an advanced solution that weighs less, carries more and consumes less energy, without sacrificing strength or reliability, said the line.

In a conventional reefer, there is a high level of heat transfer via the double frames of machinery and container. Integrating Star Cool eliminates this thermal bridging, resulting in reduced heat leakage and improved energy efficiency.

MSC also says it is installing StarConomy control software on its entire Star Cool fleet, reducing energy consumption by up to 50% to ensure that its reefer fleet is up-to-date and sustainable, and ready for any forthcoming regulatory changes around emissions.
