How Can You Optimize Offshore Reefer Containers? Unlocking the Secrets to Usage and Maintenance

6/16/2023

 
Offshore reefer containers play a crucial role in preserving the freshness and quality of goods during maritime transportation. To ensure optimal performance and proper functioning of these containers, it is essential to follow key usage guidelines and maintenance practices. This blog presents a concise guide on using and maintaining offshore reefer containers effectively.
  • Importance of Proper Packaging:
Before loading goods into offshore reefer containers, ensure proper packaging to protect them from vibrations, shocks, and temperature fluctuations. This ensures the integrity and quality of the goods.
  • Temperature Setting and Monitoring:
Set the temperature inside the reefer container based on the characteristics and requirements of the goods. Regularly monitor and record the container's temperature to ensure stability and compliance with the desired range.
  • Proper Stowage and Securing:
Arrange goods in a manner that allows for adequate airflow and even distribution of cold air. Use appropriate securing and lashing equipment to prevent goods from shifting or getting damaged during maritime transit.
  • Accuracy in Manifest and Labeling:
When loading goods into the reefer container, accurately complete the manifest and label the container with the correct information, including cargo type, temperature requirements, and other relevant details. This facilitates proper identification and handling of the container, ensuring the safety and accurate delivery of the goods.
  • Minimize Door Openings:
Avoid frequent door openings to minimize the loss of cold air and temperature fluctuations. When accessing or loading/unloading goods, try to complete all necessary tasks at once to maintain temperature stability.
  • Regular Cleaning of the Container:
Perform routine cleaning of the reefer container's interior and exterior surfaces, including shelves, partitions, and gaskets. Use appropriate cleaning agents and tools to remove residues and odors, ensuring hygiene and cargo safety.
  • Inspection of Seals and Auxiliary Equipment:
Regularly inspect the seals of the reefer container to ensure their integrity and proper sealing performance. Additionally, periodically check the functionality of auxiliary equipment such as temperature recorders, humidity controllers, and alarm systems to ensure they are working accurately.
  • Scheduled Inspection of Refrigeration System:
Regularly inspect the refrigeration system of the reefer container, including components like compressors, condensers, and evaporators. Ensure they are clean and in proper working condition. Promptly address any abnormalities to prevent further damage and minimize downtime.
  • Corrosion Prevention and Rust Treatment:
Given the offshore environment's high humidity and salt spray, reefer containers are susceptible to corrosion and rust. Implement regular surface treatments and corrosion-resistant coatings to extend the container's lifespan and maintain its appearance and functionality.
  • Periodic Maintenance and Repairs:
Follow a manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule, which includes lubricating moving parts, replacing worn-out components, and checking electrical connections. Engage professional technicians for regular maintenance and repairs as necessary to ensure reliability and safety.
  • Insurance Coverage and Emergency Preparedness:
Ensure adequate insurance coverage for the reefer container to handle unforeseen circumstances and malfunctions. Establish an emergency response plan that includes contact information for suppliers and repair teams, and ensure that relevant personnel are familiar with emergency procedures.
  • Regular Training and Knowledge Updates:
Provide regular training to personnel involved in using reefer containers, imparting the latest knowledge and skills related to usage and maintenance. Stay updated on relevant regulations and standards, and adhere to best practices to ensure operational safety and compliance.

Remember that proper usage and maintenance are key to unlocking the full potential of offshore reefer containers for sea transport. Following these best practices will help protect the integrity of goods, prolong the lifespan of the containers, and minimize the risk of disruptions and damages.
