 Shipping refrigerated goods?  Maersk Line's Remote Container Management ensures the ideal environment for your shipment, claims the company.

 

" We’re always looking for ways to improve cargo care on behalf of our customers. We play an important role in cold chains all over the world, and our care means your cargo has a safe passage from field to fridge," says the company website.

 

The world’s biggest container shipping company claims that innovation is a key element for it in its quest to ensure that the goods arrive in the exact condition intended. 

 

"One of our new developments is called Remote Container Management (RCM), which turns the reefer container into a digitally connected device."

 

RCM lets the shipper monitor the temperature and humidity in the container, enables it to handle alarms remotely, complete faster pre-trip inspections, and much more. Already implemented in 270,000 Maersk Line reefer containers, it’s an innovation that takes cargo care to the next level. 

 

"With RCM, we have developed an e-PTI method that can take that process down to 12 minutes by calculating the condition the reefer is expected to arrive at the inspection point in," sayd Catja Rasmussen, Head of RCM Maersk Line.
