Chiquita ‘‘Since adding the Star Cool CA System to its fleet, Chiquita is able to carefully monitor and control the amount of carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen of its bananas during transportation and storage: by controlling the ripening, the system ensures an extended shelf-life during transportation preserving fruits from dehydration, and arrival of the bananas in perfect condition for freshness and quality in the supermarkets. The new fleet also resulted in a positive environmental impact: as each new container is 50% more energy efficient than the older model, this led to an annual reduction of 17‘000 tons of CO2 emissions - the equivalent of the CO2 emitted by 3‘000 cars per year.’’ Fanny Priser, Equipment Manager Great White Fleet Maersk Line ‘’Star Cool CA has provided Maersk with an important tool to develop our global controlled atmosphere business. StarCare™ (Star Cool CA) enables longer transit for a number of commodities, providing shippers the opportunity, to enter distant markets which earlier were not within reach. StarCare™ has been a positive enabler in the conversion of Bananas from Break Bulk into reefer containers. All StarCare™ reefers are equipped with Remote Container Management (RCM), allowing customers to have 24/7 visibility on their valuable perishable products in transit.’’ Steen Aunstrup, General manager / Senior Reefer Specialist Africa Express Line ‘‘As a longstanding customer of MCI/Star Cool products, AEL has worked closely with the various technical groups within the MCI/ Star Cool organisations to design a multi-purpose controlled atmosphere (CA) reefer container which provides AEL with the flexibility to use the reefer as a specialised integrated CA container using Star Cool CA, or the AEL CA active vessel system which enables continuous flushing of N2 as well as the usual standard chilled/frozen operations and of course NOR enable AEL to generate over 10 full moves per reefer per year. The StarConomy power saving software, reduced CO2 emissions, excellent service support, power splitters, innovation to new design improvements, good/strong integrated or picture reefer box, ease of procurement - one stop shop with one supplier and a clear refrigerant strategy of R513a leading to R1234yf have all been important factors towards the AEL decision making process.’’ Mathew Shed, Technical Director Marine Containers Reefer ‘‘Marine Containers serves as a service centre for MCI and recognizes StarCare (Star Cool CA) containers from the moment they are launched. We can testify to the reliability and simple operation of these containers. We also hear from our clients about their satisfaction and the benefits of using these containers’’ Simon Dahan, Manager CMA CGM ‘’CMA CGM has used Star Cool CA boxes for about 5 years now. This reliable and innovative machine has been extensively used to develop our portfolio and diversify our range of solutions to serve our customers better. We are glad to be in a constant and constructive relationship with MCI for years.’’ Eric Legros, Vice-President Specialized Products and Value Added Services Hapag-Lloyd “We appreciate the trustworthy partnership, close cooperation and support we receive from MCI. We value innovative CA solutions that can address customer needs and deliver on the quality promise to our customer.“ Clemens Holz, Director Global Niche Product Development / Reefer products Marfret ”Star Cool CA has reliably and steadily expanded our fresh produce business from Colombia and Peru to Europe – opening up new long-distance opportunities for our customers, still providing to them our best service quality” Gilles Gallinaro, Logistics Manager APL ‘’Our heartiest congratulations to the 10th year celebration of the Star Cool CA business. As an early adopter of the system for APL’s reefer business, we wish Star Cool many more years of success ahead.’’ Borhan Mustaffa, Head of Reefer Technical Seatrade ‘’Star Cool CA is the so called “all in one package”, which combines energy efficiency with reliable transportation of goods. It gave us the opportunity to grow into CA exports from various markets AND it gave us continuation of regular business for various banana accounts requesting CA service.’’ Hans Boone, Global Equipment Supervisor Maersk Line ‘’The StarCare+ (Star Cool CA+) technology allows Maersk to ship a wide range of low respiring commodities with elevated or high CO2 levels (up to 20%). Using the specially designed purge port for gas injection, StarCare+ contributes to more firm and fresh produce arriving at distant markets. The StarCare+ product is supported by Remote Container Management (RCM), supplying customers with live data for the entire voyage.’’ Edwin Lopez, Reefer Specialist - Peru
