How to Efficiently Use Refrigerated Shipping Containers for Ocean Freight

9/22/2023

 
In today's global trade and logistics, refrigerated shipping containers play a crucial role in ensuring the safe transport of temperature-sensitive goods.  Whether it's fresh food, pharmaceuticals, or other items requiring precise temperature control, properly managing and utilizing refrigerated containers is paramount.  Below are key insights on how to efficiently manage and use these containers in ocean freight:
 
1.  Cargo Loading and Stacking:
Depending on the nature of frozen, chilled, or hazardous cargo, loading and stacking methods may vary.  Ensure cargo is adequately packaged with no gaps between the cargo and container walls to facilitate even airflow.  Follow block stacking principles to allow cold air to circulate uniformly, meeting the desired temperature requirements.
 
2.  Temperature Monitoring:
Regularly monitor the temperature inside refrigerated containers, typically checking at intervals of no more than six hours.  Record temperature data and consider using an automated recording system to transmit real-time temperature data for continuous cargo status tracking.  Especially when transporting hazardous refrigerated cargo, record temperatures every hour.
 
3.  Refrigeration Unit and Maintenance:
Conduct routine inspections of the mechanical and electrical systems of refrigerated containers to ensure they are in proper working condition.  If any malfunctions occur, promptly inform specialized personnel for maintenance.  Regular maintenance is crucial to equipment reliability.
 
4.  Cargo Tracking:
Implement cargo tracking technologies to monitor cargo location, status, and temperature data in real-time.  This aids in the timely detection of issues and corrective actions to ensure cargo safety and quality.
 
5.  Managing High-Performance Specialized Refrigerated Containers:
High-performance specialized refrigerated containers are typically placed in the mid to aft sections of concealed deck vessels, avoiding the lower two tiers of containers on the ship's outermost sides.  During transport, check the container's temperature three times a day and maintain records.  When transporting hazardous refrigerated containers, record temperatures hourly.  In case of equipment failure, promptly notify senior engineers for assessment and repairs.  One hour before unloading at the port, record the temperature, disconnect the power supply, and secure the container.
 
6.  Inspection Coordination:
Before loading, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the refrigerated containers along with the chief engineer and electrical engineer.  Ensure that all systems are operational.  If the power has been disconnected, assess the equipment's status based on previous paper chart records.  If any damages or malfunctions are detected, document them and promptly notify the yard management for inspection and repair.  If the damage is significant and could affect product quality or if the fault cannot be rectified, consider rejecting the container.
 
By adhering to these recommendations, you can ensure the efficient management and utilization of refrigerated shipping containers in ocean freight, preserving the quality and safety of your cargo, meeting customer demands, and maintaining a smooth supply chain operation.  Success in international trade hinges on correct management and operation of the cold chain logistics, making refrigerated containers a vital component.

The Importance of Temperature-Controlled Transport: Understanding Offshore Refrigerated Containers

2/15/2023

 
        ​An offshore refrigerated container is a type of container used to transport perishable goods that require temperature-controlled storage. These containers are equipped with refrigeration units that can be powered by electricity and can keep the temperature inside the container within a specific range.
          Offshore Refrigerated containers are commonly used to transport fresh and frozen foods such as fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy products, and seafood. They are also used to transport pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and other temperature sensitive products.
           Offshore Refrigerated containers are designed to be optimized for preserving perishable goods, with features such as insulation, temperature control systems, and ventilation to maintain the desired temperature and humidity levels. Some refrigerated containers are also equipped with a remote alarm system, which monitors the temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors in the refrigerated container in real time through remote communication technology and sends out an alarm signal when an abnormal situation occurs. The refrigerated container remote alarm system can not only protect the quality of refrigerated items, but also prevent unsafe conditions of refrigerated containers, such as abnormal temperature increase, refrigerated container door opening, etc.
         Offshore refrigerated containers are a regular product of TLS. It complies with DNV2.7-1 / EN12079 / CSC certificate and can be applied to multimodal transport. Welcome clients to customize in batches.

What do you need to pay attention to refrigerated container | reefer container?

6/8/2022

 
How does the refrigerated container work?
The purpose of the reefer container is not to cool the product, but to maintain the temperature of the product. So instead of adding cool air, the refrigeration process removes heat from the air inside the container.
The reefer container distributes cold air from the floor through the T-deck.​

Precautions for the use of reefer containers
  1. During the loading process of the refrigerated container, turn off the power supply and confirm that the refrigerator stops running;
  2. Pre-cooling of goods: Before loading, the dunnage and other cushioning materials used in the refrigerated container should be pre-cooled, and the goods should be pre-cooled to the temperature required for transportation. containers are designed with limited cooling capacity and can only be used to maintain the temperature of the cargo. If the temperature of the cargo is too high, the refrigeration system will be overloaded, causing the system to fail and affecting the transportation of the cargo.
  3. About pre-cooling of refrigerated containers: In general, pre-cooling of refrigerated containers is prohibited, because as soon as the door of the pre-cooled refrigerated container is opened, the outside hot air will enter and meet the cold air in the container, which will cause water vapor condensation, and water droplets will damage the outer packaging of the goods and Label, water droplets condensing on the evaporator surface affect the cooling capacity.
  4. Preparations before packing: According to different perishable goods, the following items should be confirmed: ideal temperature setting; fresh air ventilation setting; relative humidity setting; total transportation time; cargo volume; packaging materials and packaging dimensions used;
  5. Be sure to load the goods reasonably and the maximum load height should not exceed the red load line of the container. Otherwise, the cold air circulation inside the freezer will be affected, resulting in poor wind circulation and even failure of the freezer insulation effect.
  6. The cargo must be placed on the edge of the T-floor to ensure even air circulation throughout the container.

WHAT IS A REFRIGERATED | REEFER CONTAINER?

2/11/2022

 
Reefer containers|refrigerated containers are used to transport or store goods that require temperature control. Fruit, vegetables, dairy products, meat and other products are typical goods transported or stored in such containers.

At first glance, reefer containers look similar to traditional shipping containers, but they have many different features.
  • At the front of the container, you can set the temperature, ventilation and humidity of the container through the control box.
  • The grooves at the bottom of the container are called T-shaped decking, the air can circulate free underneath the cargo through them.
  • For cleaning the container, we have drain plugs in each corner. These can be closed for frozen goods. Nothing can enter from the outside into the container.
  • When loading goods, the height of the box should not exceed the maximum height set, certain space should be reserved for air circulation to ensure the thermal insulation effect of the cold air circulation in the container.
