Seaboard Marine orders 1,000 reefer boxes from Maersk Container Industry

Seaboard Marine ordered 1,000 Star Cool Integrated Reefers from Maersk Container Industry (MCI), including a portion of units equipped with Star Cool CA (Controlled Atmosphere).

This order, which is facilitated through leasing company Global Container International (GCI), includes MCI’s Sekstant reefer monitoring. Sekstant provides real-time monitoring and control of the reefer containers and unique Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) features, enhancing operational efficiency and providing important data for optimizing supply chain logistics.

“We are excited to further strengthen our partnership with MCI through this investment in Star Cool. These technologies enhance our operational efficiency and align with our sustainability initiatives by reducing our environmental footprint. We look forward to leveraging these advancements to benefit our customers,” commented Frederick Urbina, Director of Fleet Operations at Seaboard Marine.

Seaboard Marine has been selecting Star Cool since 2008, when the first tests of the reefer machines demonstrated up to 50% energy savings compared to their existing fleet. The Star Cool CA technology has enhanced Seaboard Marine’s operations, extending the transportation window for perishable goods.
