Hapag-Lloyd adds Maersk's low-CO2 reefer boxes from China, Chile
GERMAN shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd purchased 3,700 Star Cool Integrated containers as part of its recent reefer investments from Maersk Container Industry (MCI), reported the American Journal of Transportation.
The 3,700 FEU high-cube boxes are currently being produced and delivered from MCI's manufacturing facilities in China and Chile.
Of these, 1,000 will be chilled by the environmentally friendly R513A refrigerant system with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 56 per cent of the commonly used R134A refrigerant.
"Eager to support the market adaptation of more environmentally friendly refrigerants, Hapag-Lloyd is the first carrier to widely deploy the low-GWP R513A refrigerant blend recently introduced by MCI," said the Hapag statement.
The R513A charged Star Cool unit is addressing the environmental protection legislation for existing technology platforms introduced with, for example, the F-gas regulations in the EU.
"We are pleased to introduce another low-GWP refrigerant solution in our fleet with the first 1,000 Star Cool Integrated containers," said Hapag director Niklas Ohling.
"Reducing carbon emissions is a key objective on our sustainability agenda and we believe in the potential of environmentally friendly refrigerants as an important element in achieving this."
