Conta<strong>in</strong>ers LLC. Carrier Transicold is part of UTC<br />
Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United<br />
Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).<br />
“The NaturaLINE unit’s <strong>in</strong>novative use of CO2 is<br />
the first of its k<strong>in</strong>d available on the reefer market,”<br />
said Giuseppe Prudente, chief logistics officer, MSC<br />
Mediterranean Shipp<strong>in</strong>g Company. “By provid<strong>in</strong>g<br />
higher level of performance <strong>in</strong> the m<strong>in</strong>us 40<br />
degrees Celsius deep-frozen range, we can add new<br />
capabilities for our grow<strong>in</strong>g customer base,<br />
particularly for seafood and other high-value<br />
frozen commodities. Moreover, shipp<strong>in</strong>g is already<br />
one of the most environmentally susta<strong>in</strong>able forms<br />
of cargo transportation, and we are pleased to<br />
cont<strong>in</strong>ue to improve our environmental<br />
performance by equipp<strong>in</strong>g our fleet with the latest<br />
green technologies.”<br />
The ability to achieve m<strong>in</strong>us 40 Celsius was<br />
previously only atta<strong>in</strong>able <strong>in</strong> conta<strong>in</strong>er systems<br />
us<strong>in</strong>g a refrigerant with a GWP nearly 4,000 times<br />
higher. The NaturaLINE unit has managed this,<br />
along with high efficiency, a quiet operation and<br />
tight temperature control.<br />
“We commend MSC and SeaCube for their<br />
<strong>in</strong>vestment <strong>in</strong> environmentally susta<strong>in</strong>able<br />
refrigeration equipment,” said David Appel,<br />
president, Carrier Transicold & Refrigeration<br />
Systems. “The NaturaLINE unit, with CO2<br />
refrigerant, takes users directly to an end state by<br />
guard<strong>in</strong>g aga<strong>in</strong>st regulations, environmental taxes<br />
and phase outs that other refrigerants will be<br />
subject to dur<strong>in</strong>g their operational lifespan. In<br />
addition, CO2 is non-ozone deplet<strong>in</strong>g, widely<br />
available, relatively <strong>in</strong>expensive and<br />
nonflammable.”<br />
Carrier Transicold recognized the need for<br />
refrigeration technology that would neutralize<br />
concerns over GWP – <strong>in</strong> much the same way that<br />
it led the <strong>in</strong>dustry away from ozone-deplet<strong>in</strong>g<br />
refrigerants ahead of Montreal Protocol deadl<strong>in</strong>es<br />
25 years ago.<br />
“In tak<strong>in</strong>g leadership to provide a naturalrefrigerant<br />
solution, Carrier Transicold<br />
created what is perhaps the most sound <strong>in</strong>vestment<br />
a leas<strong>in</strong>g company and shipp<strong>in</strong>g l<strong>in</strong>e can make – a<br />
refrigerated conta<strong>in</strong>er that will not become obsolete<br />
<strong>in</strong> its lifetime due to pressures from environmental<br />
legislation,” said Robert Sappio, CEO, SeaCube. “By<br />
fulfill<strong>in</strong>g the NaturaLINE unit’s first order of this<br />
magnitude, SeaCube is pleased to be part of this<br />
important development for the shipp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>dustry.”<br />
