Reefer equipment - an owner's view

Article Abstract:

The Blue Star Line's refrigeration and equipment manager, Keith Eade, believes that there are good prospects for bulk reefers and container operations. Reefer equipment technology has advanced to a significant extent in the past years, particularly in terms of cargo monitoring processes, the use of microprocessors and in data gathering for refrigeration. UK-based Blue Star has worked closely with its contractors to adopt software and equipment technology that will meet its special refrigeration needs.
