Great White Fleet has acquired 850 new containers refrigerated by Carrier Transicold’s energy-efficient PrimeLINE units. Carrier Transicold is a part of Carrier Global Corporation, the leading global provider of healthy, safe and sustainable building and cold chain solutions. The new units acquired by Great White Fleet will replace older, less efficient units and will be installed on new 40-foot high-cube containers to ship bananas and pineapples from Central America to Europe and North America.
Detailing on their decision making process, Stefano Di Paolo, President, Great White Fleet, said, “We have again selected the Carrier Transicold PrimeLINE unit based on its reliability, performance and especially for its high efficiency. Efficient performance reduces electricity demand on our vessels, along with related emissions, which helps to support our sustainability goal of reducing carbon emissions across all operations, as well as reduce our operating expenses.”
Commenting on the development, Kay Henze, Account Manager, Global Container Refrigeration, Carrier Transicold, said, “Building on a relationship that has spanned decades, Carrier Transicold appreciates the opportunity to continue supporting Great White Fleet with refrigeration units that serve as sustainable links in their cold chain.”
The PrimeLINE unit features: efficient performance, owing to its use of an energy-conserving digital scroll compressor; fast temperature pull-down; tight temperature control within +/- 0.25 degree Celsius; high air-flow attributed to its aerospace-inspired fan design; and excellent cost of ownership thanks to its efficiency and rugged design.
