Admiral adds 150 reefer containers
Admiral Container Lines recently added more than 150 new containers equipped with Carrier Transicold PrimeLINE refrigeration units to boost its refrigerated shipping capabilities in the eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea.
With a focus on express service, Admiral Container Lines is a leader in the short-sea trade lanes covering ports in Turkey, Egypt and Israel, Russia, Ukraine and Romania along the Black Sea coastline. Through this latest container acquisition, the Admiral fleet has expanded its refrigerated capacity in time to support the 2021-2022 high season of perishable cargo exports in the region.
“Carrier Transicold’s PrimeLINE units have long served our fleet reliably and efficiently,” said Ihsan Arican Cakar, Ph.D., managing director of Valletta, Malta-based Admiral Container Lines.
Carrier Transicold’s comprehensive sales and service network includes more than 400 container refrigeration support, service and repair centers worldwide with locations in all major and developing ports. In addition, major inventories of spare parts are available at 14 international parts depots, a reflection of Carrier’s commitment to continually improving our aftermarket service.
“Our crews consider them highly efficient and easy to operate,” said Tolga Yildiz, operation manager for Admiral. “The support we receive through Carrier Transicold’s service center network is second to none.”
Among the PrimeLINE unit’s attributes that have made it the industry sales leader for more than 13 consecutive years are the following.
- Efficient performance supported by an energy-conserving digital scroll compressor.
- Fast temperature pull down.
- Tight temperature control within +/- 0.25 degree C.
- High air flow attributed to its aerospace-inspired fan design.
- Excellent cost of ownership thanks to its time-tested reliability, and low maintenance and repair costs.
“We value the continued trust and confidence that the professionals at Admiral Container Lines place in the industry-leading PrimeLINE unit and Carrier Transicold, as we endeavor to deliver world-class products and services,” said Dean Bouch, Carrier’s global container refrigeration technical sales manager for the EMEA Region.
