CargoPower preserves perishable foods after a hurricane
The challenge to the customer
When Hurricane Georges hit the
eastern U.S. coast, a produce supplier with 500 tons (453 m.t.) of
perishables docked in the bay found themselves in a dire
predicament.
Aggreko's solution
A contingency plan went into action
immediately, calling on Aggreko to power the containers using
fifteen Cargo Power units while they were moved to a facility 10
miles (16 km) inland to weather the storm.
The benefits to the customer
Through Aggreko's rapid response
that allowed the refrigerated containers to maintain the proper
temperature during the move, and throughout the duration of the
hurricane, the e fresh produce was preserved until delivery was
possible.
