Foreword Since first issuing the Handling Manual for Onboard Refrigerated Containers in 1996, our customers expectations for safe transport and value-added quality services have risen considerably. At the same time we have seen some remarkable changes surrounding refrigerated container (reefer) transport industry as illustrated by the examples below: A greater variety of commodities in the reefer business 1998 Inauguration of Grand Alliance Operation for East-West trade lines Integration of Intra-Asia services with TSK Lines in late 2002 The total scale of reefers as well as the number of onboard plugs and shoreside services has rapidly increased. In this respect, reefer transport is considered one of the regular services offered by shipping lines, hence handling of onboard reefers has become a part of a ships management job. Due to these changes, the contents of the first manual became outdated for our present management system of onboard reefers, so we have revised it to include this new information. In this second edition, we will give you an overview of refrigerated containerhandling procedures. All Masters are requested to raise the awareness of their crewmembers on this important issue.

the vessel noticed the error. Therefore all the wine froze and the bottles broke. Generally, such containers do not require a power supply, but this should be confirmed with the Terminal Operator. b) Connecting the Monitoring Cable Note: Connection of the 4-pin monitoring cable is not usually required. However, it should be utilized if a reefer needs to be monitored. c) (When a reefer is loaded into the hold) Connecting the Cooling Water Hose and Drain Hose Opening the Cooling Water Valves When the cooling water hoses are needed due to variation of weather or circumstances, ambient temperature in her hold is especially forecasted to rise. All reefers equipped with a water-cooled condenser should be connected to the cooling water hose. In addition, in the case where a reefer, which is not equipped with a water-cooled condenser and which is loaded into the vessels hold, does not maintain the setting temperature due to high ambient temperature, connecting the cooling water hose to other reefers which are equipped with a dual condenser (air-cooled/ water-cooled) is effective. It can then control the heat from the unit and avoids increasing the ambient temperature in her hold. d) Starting of Unit
b) Ventilator In the case where the Reefer List has already been received, it should be confirmed if the actual ventilator setting is in accord with the ventilator setting declared on the list. If the Reefer List has not been received, it should be confirmed that the ventilator for frozen cargo is closed, not open. Also, confirm that the actual ventilator setting is in accord with the ventilator setting indicated on the list, and enter the ventilator setting on the Monitoring Sheet for Refrigerating Containers (Monitoring Log) for evidence of onboard confirmation. In addition, locking of the ventilator should be confirmed. c) Running condition After starting the unit, the following items should be monitored: 1) Switches and Lights Check any abnormal positions in the switches and warning lights. 2) Check any abnormal noises and vibrations 3) Record the actual setting temperature. If the Reefer List has already been received, confirm that the actual setting temperature is in accord with the setting temperature declared on the list. 4) Record the chart temperature. Confirm that the indicated temperature on the chart recorder (chart temperature) is in accord with the digital temperature on the indicator (digital temperature). If needed, carry out calibration of the chart recorder. 5) Compressor and Piping Check for any lubricating oil stains around the compressor and piping and determine if there is any refrigerant leakage. 6) The Moisture Indicator should be bright green. 7) Check for any unusual frosting on the piping and the compressor. As for the carriers unit and Daikins unit in chill mode operation, it will be found that the compressor frosts more than other makers compressors. Check using the illustration on the unit. 8) Drain Hose and Piping Check the drain hose and piping if they clog.
Generally, the Reefer List that the Terminal Operator provides to the vessel is made in accordance with the booking information, B/L data, or actual data, which is derived from the Gate Clerk at the terminal. In North America, the Reefer List is made in accordance with the booking information. Discrepancies may be caused by errors or corrections; therefore the Terminal Operator should check them when the reefers are carried into the terminal from the shippers warehouse. However, beware that by the time they are carried into the terminal, it may be too late for some reefers to check for these corrections. b) If there are any questionable discrepancies between the actual temperature and the chart temperature, request the Agent, the Terminal Operator and/or Reefer Mechanics to check the reefer unit immediately. If it is determined by the Master that the reefer should be discharged in order to undergo repair at a shore facility, contact the Agent and the Terminal Operator and
request a discharge. If it is not possible to be discharged due to any reason, ask the Agent to obtain a Letter of Indemnity from the booking line. All facts should also be recorded on the Damage & Failure Report. And as the Malfunction Report serves as evidence to support the facts, so it should be reported to the Line Operator and MARCTNRREF. Basically, vessels are not allowed to discharge container(s) without permission from the booking line, except in the case where a delay in schedule may endanger the safety of the vessel and/or crew. If a malfunctioning reefer has been loaded already, it should be discharged based upon the Masters decision. However, once the reefer is loaded into the vessel, the malfunctioning reefer should be checked/repaired by shore technicians on board or at the terminal by the time of the vessels departure. Therefore, if it is impossible to repair the reefer, the Master should discharge it or refuse the loading of it. It must be noted that if a discharging request is sent to ONLY the Terminal Operator, the booking line will be informed about the fact after the container is discharged. Again, discharging requests must be sent to the Agent and the Terminal Operator. In addition, depending on the service line (for example, Grand Alliance), standard guidelines giving instructions on matters such as what to do when the actual temperature differs from setting temperature (HOT STUFFING) is provided. When the actual temperature goes over the benchmark, you should obtain a Letter of Indemnity from the booking line via the Agent. In case a Letter of Indemnity is not obtained, the Master should refuse the loading of the reefer. However, in regard to NYK reefers, we request that all vessels (including consortiums vessels) not refuse the loading of the reefer, in spite of the guidelines, in case the reefer works properly and the temperature measurement on the chart recorder is decreasing.
In the case where, to undergo repairs, the reefer is discharged at the port that was not its original discharging port, and the reefer was left at the port due to the repair not being finished by the vessels departure, the fact should be reported to Line Operators such as ASIA LPO, NE MERINE, BOISE MARINE, OTMC SYDNEY, OTMC AUCKLAND, TOMC, GEX OPE, ANDEX, MAREX etc, and MARCTNRREF. The Line Operator and/or MARCTNRREF will notify the cargo delay to the Consignee via our sales department.
interval, rising temperature or extreme cooling. (3) The chart rotates normally. (4) Defrosting is performed periodically. (5) Refrigeration unit works in good condition. (There is no alarm) (6) There is no leakage of lubricating oil around the compressor and the piping. (7) Any abnormal noises or vibrations do not exist. (8) Power plugs, cables and so on, show no abnormality. c) Records As for the monitoring verification, record the chart temperature and/or the indicated temperature on the Monitoring Log, and the temperature from each respective source should be read and designated on the log. If the temperature recorder malfunctions, the temperature should be read from the digital indicator - supply air or return air - or measure actual temperature with the thermistor meter (Simpson meter) and whichever airs temperature, is read, should be designated on the log. The recorder malfunction should be noted on the Damage & Failure Report and the Monitoring Log.
Needless to say, the parts should be returned to its original parts stock after receiving the replacement parts. c) Records All troubles, even minor malfunctions, should be recorded on the Damage & Failure Report. Problems, such as a reefer being discharged without undergoing repair, should be reported in the Malfunction Report by fax or e-mail. And as for the verification, it is enough to send the Malfunction Report for the settlement of claims, so there is no need to record it in the Damage & Failure Report. As MARCTNRREF utilizes the reports as data for analysis of malfunctions, the following cases do not need to be recorded on the Damage & Failure Report: Renewed chart sheet Rewound clock Replaced the (dry cell) battery of chart recorder (except Ni-Cd battery) Changed setting temperature/ventilator setting Repaired 220V/440V portable step-up transformer Repaired reefer receptacle box (because its not the reefer units malfunction but the vessels equipment) Another receptacle/portable transformer was plugged in (in the above case) In case of a shut-down due to vessels breaker off (except due to low insulation of reefers equipment) it should be recorded in the Malfunction Report In case the circuit breaker trips, reset it by turning the unit off/on (because the cause of the malfunction is unknown. If it occurs several times, it should be reported in the Malfunction Report.) Checked part but it was good condition (cause of malfunction is unknown) Not improved/Not repaired (however, cause of malfunction is known) it should be reported in the Malfunction Report

2-1-3. Communications
a) Contact with concerned parties Vessels Master should make contact with concerned parties in case of malfunction or trouble. Send the original report to MARCTNRREF, and drop a copy to the Line Operator/the Agent at the loading or discharging port. For emergencies, send the original to the Agent.
11
(1) With NYK containers Vessel Original MARCTNRREF copy Agent / Line Operator
(2) With another shipping companys containers Vessel Original MARCTNRREF copy Agent/ Line Operator
Container Operator As for other booking lines reefers, make contact with the Container Operator through the NYK office even if the vessel can make contact with them directly, except when direct communication is requested by NYK office. b) Instruction for vessel (1) NYK reefer MARCTNRREF is responsible for replying. (2) Other booking lines reefers MARCTNRREF will not give instructions about other booking lines reefers. MARCTNRREF will relay the report to the booking line, and will then relay the booking lines instruction/advice to the vessel so as to avoid any cargo claims owing to NYKs advice except in emergency cases.

3-1-1. Purposes
The temperature chart provides a record of the internal temperature of the reefer during transportation, and it clarifies the responsibility of each section - terminal, vessel, trucker or rail - of transportation.
3-1-2. Forms
Each shipping company uses unique temperature charts, and they all have minor differences. Please do not use another Container Operators chart.
14
Also each item on the chart - vessel name, container number, voyage, setting temperature, and topics (for example, replacement of chart) - should be completed. This data can help prevent any misunderstandings or confusion after discharging. b) Date adjustment Basically, date adjustment should not be performed. The temperature must be recorded continuously. (1) If it is found that the chart clock has stopped, the clock must be wound up or the battery must be replaced. Then, an with the vessel's notation - date and time - should be marked in UT. (2) Resetting the date/hour must not be performed when passing the International Date Line. Also, a date adjustment is not required in months not containing 31 days. (3) Record a remark for date adjustments when they are required in order to avoid mistakes involving the date. For witnesses, it is a good idea to mark an when loaded.
c) Repair record of the temperature chart Do not record repair on the chart. All repairs should be recorded on the Damage & Failure Report.
3-2. Monitoring Sheet for Refrigerating Containers (Monitoring Log) 3-2-1. Purposes Purposes
To maintain containers and cargo, the temperature and refrigerated unit condition should be monitored periodically and recorded on the Monitoring Log. These documents can therefore prove that the container was well monitored. Monitoring and recording should be performed from loading to discharging, even when the vessel is at berth. If the chart recorder is faulty, record the digital indicator readings - supply or return air - or the actual temperature. Also, this fact should be recorded in the Remark column.

4-2-2. Discharging
When instructions are given by the Container Operator to discharge the spare parts, check the inventory and arrange for delivery. If no information is given by the Container Operator prior to discharging, refuse any discharging of parts and report it to MARCTNRREF.
4-2-3. Usages
Spare parts should be used in accordance with the following: a) As a general use, use individual spare parts supplied by the Container Operator to whom the container belongs. This rule provides for the repair of all reefers which have an adequate supply of spare parts provided by their respective Container Operator. If the necessary spare parts are not available in the individual supply, it is acceptable to borrow from another Container Operators spare stock without the owners permission. In this case, it should be reported to MARCTNRREF as soon as possible. Use the Malfunction Report for making a report because the Container Operator who borrowed the other Container Operators spare parts has to re-supply the parts at the earliest convenient port. b) When removing spare parts from an empty reefer, if it is found that the malfunction

refrigerant of all kinds represented. Depending on the service line, vessels also have to maintain spare stock of the refrigerant with regard to the Container Operator. Responsibilities of replenishment for refrigerant are as follows at each service line: 1) NA & NE (Grand Alliance): Container Operator 2) ASIA ACX trade -1. JBC(Dragon/Phoenix)/JCV: Container Operator -2. GKX/SAX: No agreement (Customarily the Container Operator) -3. APX/TMX/SSS: No agreement (Customarily the Vessel Operator) -4. PSS/HSS: No agreement (Customarily the Vessel Operator) -5. PGS/SCS/PJX/ITX: No agreement (Customarily the Vessel Operator) 3) OCEANIA: Vessel Operator *R-22 of NZX: Container Operator 4) GEX: Container Operator 5) ANDEX, MAREX: No agreement (Customarily the Vessel Operator) NYK has R-12, R-22 & R-134a units (note: NYK will have only R-22 & R-134a at the end of 2004). Vessels should maintain the following number of 10Kg or 13.6Kg refrigerant bottles: <Responsibilities> Container Operator Container Operator Vessel Operator <Days between port and port> 5 days or more less than 5 days R-22 2-3 1 3 R-134a 2-3 1 3
Although it is permitted to borrow another Container Operators refrigerant without permission, likewise with spare parts, the refrigerant has to be returned to the original owner by vessels hands. b) Replenishment Request should be sent to MARCTNRREF by e-mail or fax. Though no standard form is provided, container number, Container Operator, consumed refrigerant, consumed quantity, request quantity, and ROB should be included. An example of the Refrigerant Requisition Form is attached in Appendix 7.

It is advisable to request the quantity by bottle unit. Generally, Japanese 10Kg returnable bottle and Unitors 13.6Kg disposable bottle (Unitors 12.5Kg returnable bottle European ports) are the standard. All Container Operators can re-supply the refrigerant at HONG KONG, SINGAPORE & ROTTERDAM. In emergency cases or at the behest of the Container Operator, refrigerant can be supplied at other ports. At NYK, we have supplied the refrigerant at PUSAN, KAOHSIUNG, PORT KELANG, HAMBURG, ANTWERP, HALIFAX, VANCOUVER, SEATTLE, OAKLAND, LOS ANGELES, DURBAN etc. c) Regulation of Freon CFCs (R-12) In Europe, the discharge of R-12 into the atmosphere has been strictly prohibited since January 2001. Therefore, vessels that are not equipped with machines for containing these refrigerant pollutants cannot do repair work that is accompanied with discharging R-12 in European ports. In case a R-12 reefer unit needs to be fixed at a European port, the reefer should be repaired at a shore facility. However, if the reefer can be repaired with charging refrigerant, R-409A should be charged into the system. NYK has no R-409A stock on board, so R-409A should be borrowed from a consortium members property in the above case. NYK should return the borrowed R-409A to the vessel, so the vessel can return the bottle to the original owners stock.

Controlling Recording 5-1. Temperature Controlling and Recording of Reefer Unit 5-1-1. Controllers
Electric controller is the main type of controller used in recent reefer units. The function of MHI electric controller is as follows: Two sensors, the supply air temperature sensor and the return air temperature sensor, are installed in one unit. The controller senses both the supply and the return air temperatures. The temperature is controlled by the supply air temperature sensor or the return air temperature sensor, depending on the temperature setting. The controller controls the supply air temperature to maintain the temperature setting, and a capacity control functions the heater and the modulating valve. The controller operates by sensing the higher temperature of the return air and supply air. In general, the return air temperature is higher than the supply air temperature, so that the controller controls the return air temperature. the supply air temperature might fall below 20 . No capacity control is activated. When the temperature setting is set to 6 , 5 ) In chill mode (temperature setting: 5 and above)
31
almost the same as the cargo temperature. However, it should be noted that the chart temperature is not always equivalent to the cargo temperature, because some reefer units record the supply air temperature in chill mode. a) Mechanical Recorder (some Container Operators reefer units) The recorder senses the return air temperature with a mercury bulb and records it. b) Electrical Recorder Two sensors, the supply air temperature sensor and the return air temperature sensor, are installed in one reefer container. These sensors are different from the controllers. The recorder senses both the supply and the return air temperature, but records only one temperature, either the supply or the return. It depends on the temperature setting. In chill mode, the recorder records the supply air temperature. In frozen mode, the recorder records the return air temperature.
c) Combined Electronic Controller / Electronic Recorder MMCC and subsequent controllers are classified as this type. The recording method is the same as with the electrical recorder. Some of these combined types have no recording sensors, but the supply/return sensors can be used to control and record as needed.
Combined
32
control and record in chill mode when the Electronic Controller MMCC and the Mechanical Recorder are combined. The controller checks the supply temperature when it is initially set. This air takes heat from the cargo inside the container, and returns it to the evaporator. Thus, the return air temperature is generally higher than the supply air temperature. This is why a discrepancy in temperature is produced between the setting and the chart recordings. However, such reefer units typically belong to an old model type and only a few exist. Only some Container Operators have it.
5-2. Countermeasure against Reefer Troubles under Transportation the 5-2-1. Oversetting the ventilator
The ventilator setting is exclusively set by the shipper. However, sometimes this setting exceeds that which can be performed by the reefer units, and this causes a rise
33
in the cargo temperature by creating frost in a high humidity environment. Countermeasures to follow: a) Set the defrost timer on a shorter interval. b) Set the ventilator closer. However, you must have the shippers permission to act on these countermeasures. Make sure you contact the concerned parties.
5-3. Freon Gas 5-3-1. Freon gas regulations a) CFC (Chlorofluorocarbon) R-11, R-12, R-113, R-114, R-115 These freon gases are regulated by the Montreal Protocol in order to protect the
ozone layer. b) HCFC (Hydrogenerated Chlorofluorocarbon)
R-134a, R-404A, R-407C, etc. These Freon gases will be regulated based on the decision of COP3 (The 3rd Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) in order to prevent global warming.

If oil leaks for some reason, replacement of the compressor assembly is requested. (3) R-22 units moisture indicator sometimes shows bubbling in spite of having enough gas in the refrigerating unit. If gas is added until the bubbles disappear, the unit may experience some trouble. Confirm the amount of gas before adding, with consideration to the amount of gas remaining. b) Caution for handling R-134a reefer units (1) Do not contaminate with other Freon gases. The refrigerating unit, especially the compressor, may experience trouble. (2) Refer to the above [a-(2)] for the scroll compressor made by MHI & Daikin. In addition, the R-134a spare compressor contains nitrogen (N2) to prevent the absorption of moisture. Do not cut the seal carelessly. The compressor may not work properly for a long time after the seal is cut. We recommend the replacement of the dryer after repair, such as compressor replacement and soldering. (3) Oil for carrier R-134a reciprocating compressor is supplied in a small can. Dispose of the remaining oil after it is added. Such oil may cause trouble because of its absorbability.
