In a new order which strengthens its market position in the transport of temperature-sensitive goods, the German container line, Hapag Lloyd, has just made a major investment in its reefer container fleet.
With delivery beginning in October, the company has ordered a total of 5 750 refrigerated containers (reefers) of the latest generation – including 5 000 x 40-foot (12 metre) and 750 x 20-ft (6m) units.
In addition, 1 000 of the new containers are equipped with controlled atmosphere (CA) technology, which allows various types of fruits and vegetables to be transported for longer periods of time while maintaining a consistent quality.
