This new investment comes on the heels of 5000 units (all 40’HC) invested by ONE in early 2020, which demonstrates its strong commitment to meet the demand for containerized reefer trade.

reefer containers which provides real time visibility of critical information such as the temperature
and humidity inside the container, thereby enhancing cargo care during the entire voyage.
