Yang Ming’s Board of Directors has approved a plan to renew the company’s container fleet through the construction of a new batch of containers.
Yang Ming’s container replacement plan is set to reduce the maintenance and repair costs, minimize cargo damage, meet operational needs, and enhance transportation capacity, according to the company’s statement.
The new containers, including ISO dry containers, refrigerated boxes, and special equipment, are expected to be delivered in 2025. These newly-built containers will utilize eco-friendly bamboo flooring to mitigate deforestation and ecological disruption. Additionally, the use of waterborne coatings will significantly lower levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions.
Moreover, the new reefers will feature energy-efficient inverter compressors, saving electricity consumption compared to conventional units, while the pioneering application of low-GWP R513A refrigerant in some of the refrigerated units will reduce GHG emissions during daily operations.
