Reefer containers rely on electricity as their primary power source. The power supply options vary depending on the stage of the container's journey: While onboard cargo ships, reefer containers are typically plugged into the vessel's electrical grid.
Refrigerated containers, also known as reefers, play a crucial role in global trade by preserving perishable goods during transport. These specialised containers come in various sizes, each suited for different cargo volumes and transportation needs. Understanding how refrigerated containers work is crucial for efficient logistics planning.
Here is an overview of different energy sources that can keep refrigerated containers' cooling systems running: At ports or storage facilities, operators typically connect reefers to shore power. This provides a stable electricity supply for continuous operation. Some refrigerated containers feature built-in generators.
Some refrigerated containers feature built-in generators. These allow for independent power generation during transit or in areas without external power access. Operators can use diesel generators in remote locations or when stationary power is unavailable. These portable units provide energy to keep the cooling system running.
