Green Leasing Solutions for Refrigerated Transport

SeaCube partnered with Greensee to launch SeaCube's Green and Net-Zero Reefer Leases, powered by Greensee's AI-driven CO2 emissions reporting technology, setting a new standard for energy efficiency and environmental responsibility in cold chain logistics.

“As a global leader in refrigerated intermodal equipment leasing, SeaCube is dedicated to investing in transformative sustainability solutions,” says Gregory Tuthill, Chief Commercial Officer of SeaCube Containers. “These initiatives not only help customers meet their rigorous sustainability targets but also significantly reduce the carbon footprint of refrigerated transport.”

“Greensee's advanced analytics empower customers to accurately monitor and report emissions, ensuring compliance while enabling real-time optimization of refrigerated transport,” says Luc Terrel, Greensee founder and CEO. “Our partnership with SeaCube is a pivotal step toward a more sustainable future in cold chain logistics.”

SeaCube is also working with Thermo King and CMA CGM to field-test Thermo King’s E-COOLPAC electric genset, said to be one of the first battery-powered refrigerated container gensets in the United States.

Key takeaways:

• Thermo King’s E-COOLPAC electric genset features zero-direct emission battery power technology that electrifies last-mile refrigerated transport (excluding truck power). The Thermo King E-COOLPAC offers a range of battery modules, as well as extension packs to deliver power ranging from 35kWh to 105kWh and can be fitted or retrofitted to marine container chassis, where a traditional diesel genset can currently fit.
• SeaCube’s Green Reefer Leases provide access to advanced energy analytics and optimized asset designs, including refrigerated containers equipped with next-generation controllers, enhanced telematics, and efficient compressors; real-time data analytics to optimize refrigeration operations, accounting for variables such as ambient temperature, cargo type and tradelane; and energy savings and emissions reductions of up to 20%, delivering tangible sustainability and cost benefits.
• SeaCube’s Net-Zero Reefer Leases enable customers to offset any remaining carbon emissions from transportation. Using precise calculations, SeaCube quantifies total emissions and offers customers the option to neutralize their impact through carbon credits. These credits support initiatives like reforestation, aligning customers’ operations with broader environmental objectives.
