CMA CGM REEFERS Nurturing the cold chain REEFER

In recent years, CMA CGM has rapidly evolved into the world's 3rd largest container shipping company. We currently participate in all major reefer trades and the continuous development of our reefer business is essential to our growth strategy. We are committed to providing our customers with a quality service second to none and to handling your valuable products in the most efficient way. IMPORTANT ADVICE WHEN USING REEFER CONTAINERS Before shipping refrigerated cargo always verify: That it can withstand the transit time. The optimal temperature required (for recommendations please refer to the reefer section on our website). The correct ventilation (m 3 /hour) and humidity settings. That in the case of frozen cargo, the vents are closed. That the correct packing materials and cargo stowage procedures are used.

CARGO CARE Reefers are used to carry two main kinds of cargo: chilled or fresh produce (primarily fruits and vegetables) and frozen foods (primarily meat, fish and dairy products). In both cases, the cargo has to be pre-cooled to the optimal carrying temperature, because reefer containers are built to maintain temperatures, not to lower them. The container itself, however, should not be pre-cooled, so as to minimize interior condensation, which weakens the packing materials and hinders the functioning of the reefer unit. Also, never load cargo above the internal red line. Airflow Air always takes the path of least resistance. In the case of fruits and vegetables, which represent a large percentage of chilled cargo, air has to be forced through vents in the boxes, in order to remove the heat generated by respiration. In the case of frozen cargo, there is no respiration, so airflow around the cargo is enough to maintain the cargo temperature. Door end T-bar floor

Cargo Stowage Cargo can be palletized or bulk, but in both cases solid block stowage is recommended, leaving no space between the cartons and between the cartons and the container walls. All of our containers are bottom air delivery, since air is forced up through the cargo the entire floor space should be covered. The two diagrams below show the proper loading procedures. Top view

Ventilation All units are equipped with vents to create a more suitable atmosphere for fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh air can be removed and replaced at the rate of 0 to 260 m 3 /hour. For frozen cargo ventilation should be closed. Dehumidification Humidity can be reduced to 55% and controlled at this level (ask our reefer department). Why Controlled Atmosphere? For some chilled products, such as avocados and asparagus, shelf life can be extended by applying new reefer technology. By using a natural process to adjust the composition of the air inside the container, the resulting controlled atmosphere will increase shelf life, improve product quality and decrease dehydration. This is accomplished by delaying the opening of the air exchange flap, only using air exchange when needed, and/or reducing product respiration by maintaining elevated CO2 levels for appropriate commodities. Do You Need To Cool Down To -35 C? To carry your deep frozen cargo safely at -35 C, we also offer MAGNUM technology. A simple but reliable system that works even in the most extreme ambient temperature conditions (up to 50 C).

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit read the adjacent figure in the right column. To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius read the adjacent figure in the left hand column. For example: to convert -18 C into Fahrenheit. Adjacent to the -18 in the centre column, in the right hand column is -0.4 therefore -18 C is equal to -0.4 F
