SeaCube sets new course for intermodal transportation equipment

SeaCube is setting a new course for intermodal transportation equipment.  

As the largest purchaser and lessor of refrigerated containers in the world, SeaCube offers innovative intermodal services by incorporating technology, sustainable solutions and top-of-the-line equipment to meet a variety of specific customer requirements.

SeaCube is a global leader in intermodal equipment leasing with a comprehensive fleet that consists of over 700,000 refrigerated containers, dry containers and gensets. With a global footprint to service all major regions, SeaCube offers services at over 200 depots worldwide, with a total asset fleet valued over $3 billion.

SeaCube is constantly striving to deliver world-class solutions for the intermodal transportation global community and is recognized as a leader in providing environmentally friendly equipment that reduces customers’ carbon footprint. In 2018, SeaCube partnered with Carrier Transicold to deliver the next generation of reefer solutions. The first and only technology of its kind, the innovative NaturaLINE reefer unit uses CO2 in place of conventional synthetic refrigerants to deliver sustainability and efficiency.

SeaCube is also the first intermodal equipment leasing company to incorporate Carrier’s Lynx Fleet solution into its fleet. With an initial installment of 2,000 units, the Lynx Fleet solution will soon be included in all SeaCube Carrier reefers. The Lynx Fleet includes proprietary technology that monitors reefer unit performance and provides early warning actionable diagnostics and predictive analytics down to the level of the machine’s components. Carrier’s Lynx Fleet system will provide much more detailed machine performance analysis capabilities compared to other telematics platforms.

Committed to meeting the needs of its customers, SeaCube has broad strength and expertise in innovative financing and logistics to create and structure tailored purchase and leasing arrangements that will best serve their customers’ strategic business objectives.

Lynx™Fleet deliver real-time insights

Carrier Transicold's Lynx™Fleet deliver real-time insights
Carrier

Adapting a predictive maintenance strategy requires an understanding of how and why asset failure occurs and identifying the warning signs of potential problems or failure. Unique to Carrier Transicold’s platform, reefer health analytics help to identify potential service needs in advance so they can be addressed at the fleet’s convenience, allowing for:

  • Pre-emptive corrective actions
  • Reduced M&R costs
  • Improved Productivity
  • Increased asset life
  • Optimized Efficiency

Predictive maintenance is not to be confused with preventive maintenance because it relies on the actual condition of the reefer, rather than average or expected life statistics, to predict when maintenance will be required. Lynx™ Fleet applies machine learning and analytics technology to forecast reefer future states.​

Visit our website and see how Lynx™ Fleet is able to deliver real-time insights to help you make critical timely decisions.

The cold chain mission is quite simple – manage temperature and environmental conditions of perishable products from the point of origin, through distribution, to the consumer, ensuring maximum cargo quality and safety. Perishable cargo’s end-to-end journey can have up to ten hand-off points from farm to table where small temperature deviations along the way can have a cumulative effect on quality. When containerized perishable cargo is at sea, systems that enhance the crew member’s situational awareness for managing temperature deviations, with minimal response time, are required to sustain quality and safety.
