<strong>CMA</strong> <strong>CGM</strong> owns one of the largest and youngest fleets of Reefer <strong>container</strong>s designed for the transport of perishable<br />
goods in a temperature-controlled environment.<br />
The <strong>CMA</strong> <strong>CGM</strong> Reefer fleet consists of 20’, 40’ High Cube and 45’ 32/33 Pallet Wide <strong>container</strong>s.<br />
Reefers are used to carry all kinds of cargo requiring temperature control, such as chilled or fresh produce (primarily<br />
fruits, vegetables and dairy products) and frozen foods (essentially meat and fish).<br />
Your perishable goods deserve the best possible controlled environment during transport to maintain their quality<br />
to their final destination.<br />
To ensure this, <strong>CMA</strong> <strong>CGM</strong> uses various technologies adapted to each of your products.<br />
Atmosphere control<br />
Modifying the composition of the air in the <strong>container</strong> (especially CO2 and O2 levels) significantly slows the ripening<br />
process of fresh produce and lengthens shelf life.<br />
Options available: PURFRESH, TRANSFRESH and AFAM + systems.<br />
Ambient air<br />
Nitrogen (N2) 78%<br />
Oxygen (O2) 21%<br />
Carbon dioxide (CO2) 0,03%<br />
Inert gases 1%<br />

� Ripening / Ageing<br />

� Ripening / Ageing + Water (H2O)<br />
+ Heat<br />
During the transport, fresh fruits and vegetables<br />
undergo different processes such as respiration,<br />
ageing, ripening, etc, transforming oxygen (O2)<br />
into carbon dioxide (CO2).
cargo handling care<br />
Temperature control (from -35°C to +35°C)<br />
magnum <strong>container</strong>s<br />
Ideal for products (ice cream and fish) which require<br />
extremely low temperatures (down to -35°C).<br />
cold treatment<br />
A highly precise process where goods (mainly fruits) are<br />
kept at a low temperature for a predetermined, uninterrupted<br />
period to get rid of parasites (fruit flies and larvae).<br />
multi-temperature system<br />
Used for some commodities, such as tomatoes or potatoes,<br />
that may require temperature changes during the voyage.<br />
Humidity control<br />
Various products require a reduced level of humidity inside the<br />
<strong>container</strong> (dehumidification). Most of our <strong>container</strong>s are equipped<br />
with a system that can lower the humidity within the range of 95 to 55%.<br />
Pre-cooling<br />
Reefer <strong>container</strong>s are designed to maintain a specific temperature of the cargo during transport. In majority of cases, goods<br />
have to be pre-cooled to the required optimal temperature for transport before stuffing into Reefer <strong>container</strong>.<br />
Cargo stowage<br />
Cargo can be palletized or bulk, but in both cases solid<br />
block stowage is recommended, leaving no space<br />
between the cartons or between the cartons and the<br />
<strong>container</strong> walls.<br />
In that way, air is forced up through the cargo and the<br />
entire floor space will be covered and refrigerated.<br />

Containers/<br />
Airflow<br />
All <strong>CMA</strong> <strong>CGM</strong> Reefer <strong>container</strong>s are bottom air delivery units<br />
designed to distribute chilled air from the floor, via specific<br />
vents, with the advantage of producing a consistent and<br />
uniform flow of air across the entire cargo, powerful enough<br />
to ensure a perfect exchange with the goods.<br />
In order to remove the gas generated by respiration, fresh air<br />
can be exchanged (through vents) at the rate of 0 to 260 m 3 /hour,<br />
depending on your requirements and the kind of Reefer used.<br />

environmenTal and innovaTive Technology<br />
In relation to a proactive policy, the <strong>CMA</strong> <strong>CGM</strong> Group is committed to developing solutions<br />
in order to combine quality and innovation with environmental protection.<br />
<strong>CMA</strong> <strong>CGM</strong> has tested different eco-friendly solutions, particularly in regards to energy consumption<br />
and CO2 emissions. The Reefer <strong>container</strong> fleet includes:<br />
• Units equipped with low-energy engines which reduce fuel consumption by three during the voyage and also<br />
reduce carbon emissions<br />
• Units equipped with energy saving software. The temperature of the goods is closely monitored throughout the<br />
journey, as a result of which less electricity is used.<br />
With state-of-the-art Reefer <strong>container</strong>s, <strong>CMA</strong> <strong>CGM</strong> Group becomes one of the leaders in sustainable development.<br />
