Thermo King Corporation 1
Since 2005, Dole has been making the shift from tradi-
tional reciprocating compressor technology to scroll
compressor technology by incorporating Thermo King’s
MAGNUM® units into its fleet. The weight, temperature pull-
down performance and power savings of the MAGNUM wooed
the world’s largest producer of fresh fruit products from the begin-
ning. As fuel and energy prices escalated throughout the past few
years, the MAGNUM’s energy efficiency benefits became even more
significant. When the next generation of MAGNUM was made avail-
able in 2009, Dole was excited to improve its fleet even further by
adding 800 MAGNUM PLUS® units in early 2010. An additional 1,445
MAGNUM PLUS units were ordered in August 2010 by Dole.

In making its equipment procurement decisions, Dole worked
with Thermo King to conduct several MAGNUM PLUS® trials
that included banana controlled testing and International
banana shipments. The trials proved that Thermo King had
indeed improved upon the already-industry-leading MAGNUM
technology.
“The MAGNUM PLUS further complements Dole’s push for
innovation by providing even more energy efficiency, the
lightest unit weight and temperature control logic that offers
a stable supply air temperature—all of which are the most
impressive in the container refrigeration unit industry today,”
said Benjamin Mathews, director of equipment operations.
“Those were key factors in our decision to add the MAGNUM
PLUS unit to our fleet.”
Surpassing all reefers in the market today, the MAGNUM PLUS offers:
• The highest efficiency and power in the industry
• The lowest environmental impact
• The lightest weight
• The most advanced technology, yet simplest design
• The lowest box temperature
• The fastest pull-down
• The tightest floor spread
• The finest temperature control
“In ALL situations, the MAGNUM PLUS unit in standard mode
outperforms competitive units operating in power-saving
modes,” explained Dermott Crombie, vice president, Global
Marine Solutions. “MAGNUM PLUS simply looks after the
cargo, with the lowest energy consumption possible. There are
no cargo limitations.”
The new MP-4000 microprocessor controller on MAGNUM
PLUS is sleek, functional and features a unique graphical inter-
face with easy-to-navigate multi-lingual interactive menus. It
offers sophisticated performance and accurate temperature
control without cargo compromise. In combination with the
optimized airflow performance, the MP-4000 microprocessor
allows the MAGNUM PLUS to offer greatly-reduced energy
consumption. And with zero cargo limitations, accurate temper-
atures for all product loads is achieved, even extending down to
-40 degrees for high value, deep frozen loads.
Dole commissioned 600 MAGNUM PLUS units, as well as 300
MAGNUM units, between December 2009 and January 2010
for use in its Latin America-USA trade lanes. Dole ordered
another 200 MAGNUM PLUS units in early 2010. The additional
order of 1,445 MAGNUM PLUS units came in August 2010 with
commissioning commencing in September 2010 and running
through December 2010. These units will then be moved to
Central and South America.
To bring Dole personnel up to speed on the MAGNUM PLUS
and its enhanced technology, training sessions were conducted
in Costa Rica prior to the 2009 unit trials, and specific training
on the new MAGNUM PLUS fleet took place in Central America
and South America at various Dole service locations during
February, March, and October 2010.
“Training and service support are critical with every new unit
sale and to every Thermo King customer,” said Gino Ansaldi,
sales director and service manager for Thermo King. “Because
customer satisfaction is our primary goal, we provide the
training, spare parts availability and monitoring to ensure all
new products are running correctly and that customers are
comfortable in product operation. We are proud of our long-
term partnership with Dole and are excited to introduce them to
the latest in reefer technology, the MAGNUM PLUS.”
With these recent purchases, Dole will run more than 6,000
Thermo King reefers in its fleet in 2011.
Dole, with 2009 net revenues of $6.8 billion, is the world’s
largest producer and marketer of high-quality fresh fruit
and fresh vegetables, and is the leading producer of organic
bananas. Dole markets a growing line of packaged and frozen
fruit and is a produce industry leader in nutrition education and
research.

SuperFreezer cools to -60º C
Thermo King continually preaches the mantra that
colder is better. And it is true: all forms of biological
activity slow down, as the temperature drops, so food
retains its freshness and quality longer. Knowing this, Thermo
King launched its class-leading MAGNUM® with a -35 degrees
C capability back in 2003, and now the market is adopting the
MAGNUM PLUS® with a -40 degrees capability, even further
ahead of anything available in the market. Perhaps what is less
well-known is Thermo King’s SuperFreezer unit, which delivers
a true -60 degrees C set-point capability.
“This exceptional machine opens up some truly unique
opportunities,” said Dermott Crombie, vice president, Global
Marine Solutions. “Not too many people have experienced
-60 degrees C, even in the world’s coldest climates. But it is
standard inside our SuperFreezer!”
In order to preserve quality and reselling value,
high-value seafood has traditionally required
airfreight shipments to reach distant target
markets. This translates into very high ship-
ment costs and a large carbon footprint. It also
poses challenges when air flights are restricted,
a very real possibility as seen this past year with
the eruption of the Eyjafjallajoekull volcano in
Iceland. With airspace closed in many European
countries, fresh seafood deliveries were cut
off also.
Thermo King saw a better way, long before
carbon footprints became a fashionable topic
and volcanic eruptions posed such real air trans-
port challenges. In the late 1990s, the company
developed the SuperFreezer, and it has been, and
continues to be, a steady seller as it has provided
customers with another option. An option that
allows super freeze container transport that is more cost-effec-
tive than airfreight, less detrimental to the environment and
is uncompromising when it comes to cargo care. “Indeed, the
SuperFreezer’s extreme-low holding temperatures preserve the
‘just caught’ freshness, taste and texture,” said Crombie.
Super-frozen cargo can be loaded at -60 degrees C in Super-
Freezer containers directly from pre-cooling units and trans-
ported or stored for long periods of time. This keeps container
temperature fluctuations to an absolute minimum and brings
cargo to optimal temperature from the very beginning of the
cold chain.
Because of the super-low temperatures, fresh-tasting, high-
value cargo like sashimi-grade tuna, swordfish, sea urchins and
more can be enjoyed around the world. Processed or raw (whole
fish) cargo can be stuffed directly from fishing vessels through
superfreezing chambers, hence preserving value and quality for
a longer period of time.
“All of this contributes to reduced transportation
costs and environmental impact, while assuring
very high quality at final product destination,” said
Crombie.
The SuperFreezer features an easy-to-control
MP-3000a microprocessor for precise temperature
control, a powerful cascade refrigeration system
with dual scroll and reciprocating compressor, and
reasonable unit price and maintenance costs. The
unit is easily powered by Thermo King’s powerful
SG-3000 series of gensets.

Japan-based Interasia Lines, Ltd. (IAL) may be
considered a small-sized carrier, but its experience
and reputation for excellent customer service has
been rewarded with consistent customer support since
the company was established in 1967. IAL has grown
steadily and purposefully through the years—both with its
own fleet and partnering with others, all in an effort to effec-
tively respond to customer demands while strengthening and
stabilizing its service. And it is with that philosophy that the
company decided to add 100 MAGNUM PLUS® units to its

Appropriately named, UNIT45 is a company that concentrates exclusively on
the development, construction, financing and delivery of 45-foot
containers thatmeet the requirements of its clients and European
legislation dictating allowable length and width of road transport. With a focus
on the European inland, railways and short sea shipping, UNIT45 has worked tirelessly
on its 45-foot container solutions to ensure the legal modality in Europe. Based in The
Netherlands, UNIT45 has been a faithful intermodal Thermo King partner since 2004 and
currently has more than 2,000 Thermo King reefer units and 550 truck and trailer units in
its fleet.
“We believe in Thermo King’s products and service and have incorporated them into our
entire refrigerated fleet—both on land and at sea,” said MD Jan Koolen, managing director,
UNIT45.” We work closely with our colleagues at Thermo King to determine the best refrig-
eration models for our refrigeration solutions. It is a good partnership as both companies
are focused on finding and delivering solutions for customers.”
UNIT45’s container reefer fleet is constructed using an ideal combination of aluminum
and high-strength steel, making it extremely lightweight yet durable and affordable. The
fleet’s cooling system consists primarily of Thermo King’s MAGNUM® SL (Slim Line) and
the new MAGNUM PLUS® unit. “Besides the proven MAGNUM unit power, performance
and energy savings, the MAGNUM SL version allows the maximum 33 pallet loads per
45-foot container, optimizing our customer’s profits-per-load,” said Jan Nouwen, UNIT45
technical manager. The container reefers are finished on the inside with aluminum, with the
layout of the cargo security system being entirely to the customer’s specification.
The company’s focus on innovation transfers directly to a dedication to environmental
concerns, which plays a big role in the company’s container designs and equipment choices.
“This is another reason our MAGNUM line, with its low environmental impact, works
so well with UNIT45’s efforts,” said Edwin Bezooijen, field service and parts manager,
Built on Innovation and Foresight:
7Thermo King Corporation
Thermo King Global Marine Solutions. “It’s also the reason they are excited
about the new MAGNUM PLUS unit, which has built further on the popular
features of the MAGNUM unit. They have already incorporated more than
1,000 units into their fleet and we are working closely with UNIT45 to ensure
the MAGNUM PLUS is compatible with the 45-foot container design.”
UNIT45’s customer base includes ECS, Eucon, Mc Andrews, GE Fresh, JSV Logistics, and many more.
“More and more companies are turning to the 45-foot container as a means
of utilizing the many intermodal alternatives that exist, such as rail, barge
and short sea services,” said Koolen. “This is a direct result of continuing
high transport costs, the growing awareness of the environmental impact
of road haulage, and of course, the EU Legislation that despite challenges,
is non-wavering. Our 45-foot container with Thermo King’s refrigeration
technology can move seamlessly between the different transport modes
and offers almost identical loading capabilities when compared to standard
13.6m trailers. Plus our containers feature special corner fittings that ensure
their legality throughout the EU. We are committed to helping our customers
combat the many challenges they face to remain profitable, environmentally
responsible and legislation-abiding.”
Offering both a rental fleet and lease options, UNIT45 emphasizes innovation
at the highest level and the use of high-quality materials, aimed at boosting
the applicability of the 45-foot concept in practice. As an ‘intermodal inno-
vator,’ the Rotterdam company is the undisputed market leader within this
segment.
That’s UNIT45

Thermo King’s commitment to the Marine sector is
legendary. From the world’s first reefer container, way
back in 1956, to the most efficient reefers, and gensets,
available today, Thermo King continues to invest in the future,
and lead the industry forward.
Thermo King initially established its Marine reefer facility in
Suzhou, China in 2002. Situated close to both Qingdao and
Shanghai box production plants, it was an ideal location. Over
the years, its only downside involved space constraints.
In 2007, anticipating continued growth in the Marine sector,
Thermo King made a couple of strategic decisions. One was to
move to a purpose-built campus, close by, in Wujiang, China.
The second was to combine all the Marine equipment manu-
facture at that location. This meant moving all three product
lines, namely MAGNUM® and MAGNUM PLUS® reefer produc-
tion, SuperFreezer reefer production, and genset production,
all under one roof.
The plan was to move these product lines in stages over the
winter of 2009/10, not foreseeing that the global financial
crisis would be at its deepest at that point. Undaunted and
remembering the famous quotation, ‘never waste a good reces-
sion,’ Thermo King continued with its strategy. The result is
a 72,000m2 Wujiang facility with the internal covered space
equal to the size of nine football fields! Sitting on an 83 acre
site, there is room for the same size expansion again, should it
prove necessary.
What’s InsideInside the facility, the first business installed was Thermo King’s
Reefers product lines. The MAGNUM, MAGNUM PLUS, and
SuperFreezer units were in production first. The SuperFreezer
product is unique in offering -60 degrees C cargo care for very
high-value seafood, and is a very popular alternative to air-
cargo. It is also a more environmentally friendly way to transport
high value fish, due to its lower carbon footprint. Indeed, the
production volume of these highly-specialised units has been
greater in 2010 than in the past few years. See more on the
Superfreezer on page 3.
The genset production line was transferred to Wujiang soon
after, completing the truly one-stop-shop approach. With
Thermo King’s genset business booming since the second
quarter and now into the second half of 2010, this move proved
timely.
“The result is that a shipping line customer, or end-user, can
view the entire Thermo King Marine product range, in produc-
tion, during one visit,” said Dermott Crombie, vice president,
Global Marine Solutions. “This has proven very popular with
customers.”
The result is a 72,000m2 Wujiang facility with the internal covered space equal to the size of nine football fields!
China’s TOMCO Produce Group Company recently
obtained the GLOBALG.A.P. certification for snow
peas and sugar snap peas. GLOBALG.A.P is a private
sector body that sets voluntary standards for the certifica-
tion of production processes of agricultural (including aqua-
culture) products around the globe. TOMCO, a China-based
grower/processor and commercial trading/marketing develop-
ment company for fruits and vegetables products, can supply
its peas year round and has 120 farmable hectares, which is
good for 16,000,000 kg production throughout the year. The
company utilizes Thermo King’s patented Advanced Fresh Air
Management System, or AFAM+, which allows TOMCO to keep
its peas fresh for at least 12 weeks.
“This means that we can ship our peas worldwide via shipping
container, and customers still get good product quality and a
longer shelf-life,” explained Younger Liu, managing director
of TOMCO. “One of our Australian customers said that the
peas were still very good four weeks after delivery. We’re very
pleased with the AFAM+ technology.”
AFAM+ was first introduced in 2002 by Thermo King. The
product effectively manages the changes in oxygen and carbon
dioxide levels in a container when fruit and vegetables respire to
achieve the optimum combination without dehydration.
“AFAM+ effectively slows down product metabolism,” said
Pietro SONZA REORDA, global portfolio manager, Marine
Solutions. “When coupled with the industry-leading MAGNUM®
container reefer technology, AFAM+ is even more effective.
The MAGNUM controller can be programmed to delay the fresh
air vent opening, allowing the container’s interior temperature
to reach proper set point before the container is ventilated and
reducing pull-down time. Basically, because AFAM+ manages
the atmosphere so well, less heat needs to be removed from
the box by the unit. This means faster pull-down and less power
consumption, which translates into fuel and cost savings and a
reduced carbon footprint.”
TOMCO’s fields are in an environment with an annual average
temperature of 15-25 degrees C, which is very good for peas to
grow. TOMCO is also building a new pack house near the fields
so that they can pick the peas and put them into a warehouse
within 10-15 minutes, further extending shelf life.
TOMCO is also testing AFAM+ on asparagus. “We are now
doing tests on sea freight asparagus,” said Liu. “So far, the tests
have provided good feedback. Once validated, we plan to ship
asparagus worldwide as well.”
The GLOBALG.A.P standard is primarily designed to
reassure consumers about how food is produced on the
farm by minimising detrimental environmental impacts of
farming operations, reducing the use of chemical inputs
and ensuring a responsible approach to worker health
and safety as well as animal welfare. More information
can be found at www.globalgap.org.
