Ocean Network Express (ONE) has invested in its reefer business by ordering 14,000 advanced generation refrigerated containers.
Controlled Atmosphere (CA) technology will be present in 2,100 of the containers to improve the shelf life of fruit and vegetables by significantly slowing down produce respiration and ripening rates.
The new refrigerated containers were delivered and integrated into the existing ONE fleet at the end of July to capture the peak season reefer demand from markets in the Southern Hemisphere.

This new technology has elevated ONE into the top three reefer carriers in the world, as well as strengthening its market presence in major reefer markets such as North and South Americas, South Africa, Europe, the Mediterranean, Intra-Asia and Oceania.
Jeremy Nixon, CEO of ONE, stated: “ONE has one of the largest and youngest reefer fleets in the world, equipped with the most advanced technologies designed to handle perishable cargo demand.
“With this new investment, ONE will be able to further broaden its market position whilst investing in the latest technologies to meet future customers demand.
“As one of the top reefer carriers in the world, we will continue to strive in order to find new and innovative solutions to enhance cargo care during transit thereby ensuring superior service value.”
