Think out of the
reefer box
The Cool Pool
• Observations
– 16-20 billion US$ spenditure repositioning
boxes (source: Richard Butcher, chief executive of maritime logistics consultancy Invicta Management Solutions)
• Time and money consuming
• Negative impact on utilization
– Utilization below 5 trips per year averagely
– US$34 000 / 7 years @ 5 trips = +950US$ per
reefer trip (excluding energy & port
operations)
