Thermo King Marine: At the heart of the global cold chain

The world is smaller than ever before. Foodstuffs that were once a luxury now arrive, as fresh as the day they were picked, on a daily basis from all over the world. As centers of production and consumption can often be continents apart, you need to be able to trust that your products will arrive safely at their destination, ready to delight customers. 

It’s for this reason that, whatever your logistical challenge, Thermo King has developed cold chain solutions that put you in control and give peace of mind whilst your precious cargo is moving across the ocean. 

To have that peace of mind, temperature and humidity control is key, and as shipping time gets extended, control of the atmosphere (O₂/CO₂/Ethylene) gets more important. For frozen and ultra-frozen cargo extended shelf life is secured by going below -30°C.

Be it food, pharmaceuticals, or other temperature-sensitive products shipped or stored for longer times, we at Thermo King offer a solution to. Whatever you ship and wherever it’s going, it will arrive just as good as when you packed it.  

Thermo King is also at the forefront of technology designed to reduce energy consumption for marine refrigerated transport. This not only reduces your carbon footprint but has a positive impact on your fuel spending too. 

Let’s take a look at some of our cold chain solutions.

TK FRESH+: Take the guesswork out of fresh air exchange

No shopper likes to see a brown banana. Likewise, squishy, overripe avocadoes. Every product has an optimum shipping environment. This is a combination of temperature, humidity, and the levels of oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) present in the air. Failure to provide this can result in spoilage such as discolouration, off odours or tastes and over-ripening. Our TK Fresh app hosts a wealth of information about the ideal shipping conditions of all kinds of perishables to make sure they arrive at their destination in the best condition!

Maintaining this tricky balance has often come down to experience, as well as a level of educated guesswork. With TK FRESH+, we remove that guesswork. Let’s take a look at some of the class-leading technologies at work: 

• Peace of mind: Rest assured that your shipment will always be kept in ideal conditions thanks to our microprocessor-controlled technology. Set the optimum temperature, O₂ and CO₂ levels for your cargo and maintain them for the whole journey

• Get to your desired temperature faster: Up to 50% faster pull down, with the ability to lock out the air exchange vents.
• Maximum freshness: Intelligent, user set, temperature cut off prevents chilling injuries to fruit. 
• Insightful data: Review telemetry data for every shipment to further refine your approach and provide Quality Assurance data to clients
