Designed by Maersk Container Industry (MCI) in collaboration with the multinational fruit company Dole, the StarConomy reefer control software allows refrigerated container operators to maximize the value of their refrigerated goods transported in Star Cool units of MCI. The software aims to reduce operating costs and achieve the futures industry sustainability goals to reduce CO2 emissions.
If a classic multinational fruit company operating its own fleet of four ships with 500 refrigerated containers each adopted the software, the financial savings on a single path, such as between Ecuador and the United Kingdom, would amount to more than 2 million a year, evaluate the designers. For container transport between Ecuador and Russia with a fleet of six ships containing 500 also taken, the annual savings are estimated at $ 3.2 million, say the designers.

Responsibility and sustainability
StarConomy can be installed on all new units Star Cool, and a simple software update can be deployed on any existing Star Cool units , operated by over 40 airlines. MCI conducted a field test on the weekly trip to Dole between South America and Europe.
Around the same themes
“corporate responsibility and sustainability are at the heart of the concerns of Dole. This commitment results in particular in our approach to water management, soil conservation and carbon footprint. It also extends to our cold chain. for transportation in refrigerated containers we store and transport them safely fruits using the least amount of energy, thereby reducing our carbon footprint, “said Karina Rodriguez, head of facilities at Dole.
With this new software, the R & amp team; D MCI Denmark noted the longstanding challenge of maintaining the same precise control of the temperature inside refrigerated containers while meeting the flow requirements of air for each type of cargo. The ability to control StarConomy same time the compressor and the fan speed appears as a revolutionary feature.
“The StarConomy software starts by rapidly cooling the product by activating the fans at full speed. When the point of the set temperature is reached, the fan speed is reduced and energy optimization can begin,” said Morten Nylykke, CEO of MCI in charge of refrigeration technologies.
If StarConomy demonstrated that it met the needs of Dole, the question is whether it will convince the rest of the customers of Star Cool.
