P&ON places record reefer order

P&O NEDLLOYD has placed a record order for refrigerated (reefer) containers worth in excess of US$ 200 million, representing the single largest order in the history of the container refrigeration industry. The new containers will replace old integral equipment and expiring leased containers. The containers will be deployed worldwide, while a substantial part of the order will be used to replace old porthole containers currently in use on the Europe/USA and Australia/New Zealand service.
