Insulated containers –
Insulated containers are insulated and often used in association with a refrigeration air-blower systems to keep perishable cargoes fresh, e.g. meats, fruits vegetables, etc. The container has two porthole extractors fitted to one end of the unit to allow the cool air circulation to operate from the cooling plant. They are generally stowed under deck and close to, or adjacent to, the ship’s circulation ports. Other types of containers in this category rely only on the insulation and are not fitted with cooling plant, and these can be stowed in any position on the ship.
