Japan : NYK procures 4,700 brand-new reefer containers
Publish Date : 02-Dec-2016
NYK has ordered 4,700 additional brand-new 40-foot refrigerated (reefer) containers, and the delivery of the new containers started last month.
NYK bought 5,500 of the same type of containers in 2015, and the average age of firm's fleet of over 40,000 reefer containers has now dropped to four years.
The fresh order comprises 600 Controlled Atmosphere (CA) containers.
The advanced technology of these CA units guarantees the freshness of perishable agricultural goods, like fruits and vegetables during long ocean transits.
The CA technology controls the temperature within the reefer unit as well as the oxygen and CO2 levels.
These 600 CA units will primarly help transport fruits from Latin America to Japan and other countries in the Asian region, and then for the export of Japanese vegetables, which are attracting more attention these days.
