ZIM enhances its reefer fleet with 1,000 new boxes

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. has announced the expansion of its refrigerated shipping capabilities with 1,000 new containers equipped with Carrier Transicold’s PrimeLINE refrigeration unit.

The new, 40ft high-cube containers will help the Israel-based shipping line accommodate growth and solidify its commitment to having ample refrigerated resources to support its customers during these challenging times, according to an announcement.

Many of the new containers of Carrier Transicold, part of a building and cold chain solutions provider, Carrier Global Corporation, will ship highly temperature-sensitive perishable cargoes and high-value pharmaceutical products. “With thousands of PrimeLINE units already in service to our fleet over many years, the refrigeration system has proven itself to be a highly capable performer,” commented Moti Azari, ZIM’s reefer trade manager.

“The unit’s excellent refrigeration capabilities, energy efficiency and record of reliability, backed by Carrier Transicold’s responsive field support team, are all vitally important to our fleet operations, especially so, during these unprecedented times amidst the Covid-19 pandemic,” he added.

The PrimeLINE unit offers rapid temperature pull-down, tight temperature control, high energy efficiency and high air-flow performance, which are integral to the transportation of high-value cargoes, especially pharmaceutical products, according to a ZIM statement.

Its efficiency is attributed primarily to an advanced digital scroll compressor that reduces power draw, which also results in reduced carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent emissions, explained the shipping company.
