Nouvelles des membres de l'IIF : Carrier Transicold loue 2 000 conteneurs au CO2 pour le transport maritime (en anglais)

The first natural-refrigerant based solution ever developed for marine container shipping was developed by the IIR member Carrier Transicold. The system utilizes repurposed CO₂, the refrigerant with the lowest global warming potential among all container refrigerants currently in use. NaturaLINE® units can reduce carbon emissions by 28% compared to previous units using synthetic refrigerant.

A few weeks ago, Carrier Transicold announced that MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, a global leader in transportation and logistics, was about to lease 2,000 containers chilled by NaturaLINE® refrigeration system. It will provide higher level of performance in the -40°C deep-frozen range and it will therefore help MSC add new capabilities for their growing customer base, particularly for seafood and other high-value frozen commodities. This ability to achieve -40 °C was previously only attainable in container systems using a refrigerant with a GWP nearly 4,000 times higher.
