Summary

Reefer capacities of containerships are increasing, with up to 500 reefer containers being carried on a single ship. Concurrently, ship crews are being reduced. Against this background, a Danish company has developed the "refcon" system for remote monitoring and control of reefer containers. The system which can be used on-board ships or at container terminals, has a single power line between the central computer station and the individual containers. The data is presented to the user on a computer screen, from where it can be interfaced with other ship management functions, or sent ashore via the satcom terminal.
