SeaCube Containers has placed an order for 3,000 Carrier Transicold OptimaLINE refrigerated containers.

After several years of strong expansion, the reefer leasing industry grew more modestly in 2017, and new investment fell to its lowest level in almost decade.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Carrier’s invention of the front wall container refrigeration unit, a version of which is used in virtually every reefer container.

Late last year, Carrier Transicold announced that Seaco had placed an order for 100 NaturaLINE CO2 reefer units, making it the first leasing company to order Carrier’s next generation reefer machinery.

At the Intermodal Europe exhibition in Amsterdam last month, Willy Yeo, director of marketing, Global Container Refrigeration, Carrier Transicold, said Carrier can now offer R513A as a dropin replacement for R134a
