What Is a Reefer Container?
kontainer reefer

A reefer container, short for refrigerated container, is a shipping container equipped with an active cooling system designed to maintain a stable temperature during transport. In the logistics industry, reefer containers are essential for transporting temperature-sensitive goods—whether cold, frozen, or controlled at specific temperatures.

These containers typically come in standard 20-foot and 40-foot high cube sizes and are equipped with features such as automatic temperature control, ventilation systems, and air circulation. Thanks to these technologies, reefer containers can maintain temperatures ranging from -30°C to +30°C, depending on the cargo requirements.

Who Needs Reefer Containers?

  1. Food and Beverage Industry. Businesses dealing with perishable goods like meat, seafood, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and frozen foods rely heavily on reefer containers to preserve product freshness and quality during domestic or international shipping.
  2. Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Sector. Pharmaceutical products such as vaccines, medications, and other medical supplies require strict temperature control. Reefer containers are key to maintaining product integrity throughout the cold chain distribution process.
  3. Exporters of Fresh Commodities. Exporters of seafood, agricultural products, and processed frozen foods depend on reefer containers to reach overseas markets while preserving the quality of their goods.
  4. Cosmetics and Chemical Industries. Certain cosmetic products and industrial chemicals are sensitive to temperature changes. Using reefer containers helps prevent product degradation during transit.
  5. Flower and Horticulture Distribution. Cut flowers and ornamental plants require stable temperature and humidity levels to stay fresh. Reefer containers make long-distance shipping of these delicate items possible and efficient.

  • Maintains the quality of temperature-sensitive products
  • Enables wider inter-island and international distribution
  • Supports compliance with food and pharmaceutical safety standards
  • Enhances competitiveness in local and global markets
