Hapag-Lloyd reached the milestone of equipping 100,000 reefers with a monitoring device, a target that was set with the start of the rollout in 2020. "With this, Hapag-Lloyd has made a very large part of its reefer fleet smart," says an official release. When the roll-out started, Hapag-Lloyd had a fleet of 93,000 reefers. Thanks to the increase of reefer business, the inventory has grown to 149,000 reefer containers today, the release added. "I am really proud of how our colleagues on site have been doing their job," says Andrea Schöning, Senior Director, Container Steering, Hapag-Lloyd. "In particular, over the recent months, they have pushed our depots installing the monitoring devices. While we continue to install in the field, finding the remaining ones in the fleet is getting trickier and trickier. We target to exceed the 90 percent fleet installation mark during the upcoming construction phase of new reefer containers."
