If the reefer is running as expected, only a quick visual inspection is performed prior to release - which is now the case for around 70 per cent of reefers, meaning faster turnaround times, better asset utilization, and operational savings for Maersk (Murison, 2016). The savings generated by the RCM system have led Maersk to launch a pilot project recently to extend the monitoring system to other types of containers. This allows for corrective actions to be taken in case the container is not operated optimally during any of the various stages of the cold chain, from the supplier's proper pre-cooling of the cargo, to the trucker ensuring that the reefer is plugged in, from accurate performance during the ocean leg, to the correct handling at destination and to final delivery to the end-customer.
