Aiming to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of its refrigerated container fleet, Evergreen Line has purchased 2,000 PrimeLINE refrigeration units from Carrier Transicold.
Following analysis and competitive comparisons, Evergreen made this initial purchase of PrimeLINE units based on anticipated power savings and reduced carbon emissions, coupled with best-in-class pull-down and cooling capacity for high-respiration perishables.
The PrimeLINE unit has the highest deep-frozen capacity of any unit using R-134a, the non-ozone depleting refrigerant with the lowest global warming potential of all contemporary container refrigerants.
The new 40-ft containers equipped with PrimeLINE units will replace some of the oldest units in Evergreen's 55,000 TEU capacity refrigerated fleet, and will complement Evergreen's fleet of Carrier EliteLINE units, which share some commonalities with the PrimeLINE units, providing operation and maintenance synergies for Evergreen.
Evergreen Line operates the fourth largest container fleet in the world, with more than 160 ships and a capacity of approximately 600,000 TEU.
