Singapore: SeaCube Containers has placed an order for 3,000 containers, refrigerated by Carrier Transicold’s advanced OptimaLine units, making it the first major container leasing company to acquire the systems.
“Given the evolving sustainability requirements and rising operating costs, we sought a reefer solution that offered the flexibility to adapt to new and changing demands,” said Bob Sappio, chief executive, SeaCube.
“OptimaLine enhances fuel efficiency for sustainable operation while also helping to reduce operating expenses for our customers.”
OptimaLine has a variable speed compressor with a permanent magnet motor and a variable frequency drive, all engineered to optimise energy consumption, enhance reliability and reduce operating costs. These enhancements also enable tighter temperature controls, helping to decrease customers’ overall carbon footprint.
Carrier Transicold says that the key features of the OptimaLine system include:
- Maintaining high-energy efficiency at all operating points at all load conditions with outstanding performance in terms of efficiency and reliability
- Lowering annual energy costs by up to 15% compared to competition
- Providing a greater reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by up to 40% compared to previous Carrier units.
“We’re delighted that SeaCube has chosen the next-generation, future-ready, OptimaLine reefer containers for their latest acquisition,” said Vineet Kashyap, vice president, Global Container Refrigeration, Carrier Transicold.
“The design of the OptimaLine unit enables us to deliver a step change in efficiency, reliability and performance for SeaCube and their customers.”
