Abstract

Excerpts from the report: A waterproof marine ventilation system for dry freight van containers was developed for overseas transportation of commodities requiring moderately low temperatures. This new system incorporates a "marine plug," which allows air to enter but keeps seawater out of the cargo compartment. In addition to the marine plug, electrically powered exhaust blowers are mounted on the rear doors to pull air into the front of the van container and through the load. This report presents the results of the research to develop a waterproof marine ventilation system for dry freight van containers and to assess the feasibility of its use. Its purpose also is to alert shippers, carriers, and equipment manufacturers that such equipment when properly used can successfully carry selected commodities that require moderately low temperatures.
