In a release, ONE states this marks
the world’s first use of marine transportation of the dual-temperature
refrigerated container equipped with CA functions that will transport various types of
perishable goods and fruits from Japan to overseas stores of Don Quijote, the
largest Japanese discount store chain operated by PPIH.
In
addition to transporting two different temperature zone commodities, the
container also has CA functions, which prolong the shelf life of fruits and
vegetables.
A foldable partition is installed in
the middle of a container to accommodate different temperature zones. The room adjacent to the reefer unit
supports both chilled and frozen temperatures, maintaining cargo from -30°C to
+30°C, similar to a standard refrigerated container. In the other compartment
of the container, a thermal fan sends cold air through the ceiling to maintain
cargo between -5°C and +30°C. Depending on a customer’s requirements, the
position of the partition can be adjusted, and the partition can also be stored in the ceiling when it is not in use,
turning it into a stand refrigerated container.
