“…The detrimental influence of weather conditions is noticeable not only during truck driving, but also during the stop periods of the refrigerated vehicle in the parking lot [36]. These conditions affect the heat balance of the vehicle and, thus, the energy consumption of refrigeration unit [8,28,36,37].…”

The energy efficiency of road refrigerated transport is still a less researched area, despite a significant amount of energy being used for cooling perishable goods inside the refrigerated vehicle. The refrigeration units of these vehicles continuously operate while en route from the cargo sender to the recipient, even during the vehicle’s forced stopovers due to the driver’s working time limitations. This article aims to summarize the impact of the parking sheds used in rest and service areas on the energy consumption of the vehicle’s refrigeration unit. The achievable cost savings by decreasing the energy consumption of the semi-trailer’s refrigeration units are also presented. We establish a mathematical model to calculate the heat balance and verify our approach. The calculation results, which were carried out under certain operating conditions of the refrigeration unit of a semi-trailer, provide an opportunity to achieve savings on a scale of 12.03%. Lastly, ideal locations of rest and service areas with sheds along the motorways and expressways in Poland are also proposed.

“…Some studies focus on the energy use of the reefer unit itself, including experimental (Fitzgerald et al, 2011) and simulation studies (Budiyanto et al, 2019a). Several strategies have been proposed to optimize reefer unit functioning (Filina-Dawidowicz and Filin, 2019;Lukasse et al, 2011;Sorensen et al, 2015;Van Der Sman and Verdijck, 2003) or reefer container design (Copertaro et al, 2016) for energy saving.…”

The refrigerated (or 'reefer') container market grows rapidly. Researchers and sector stakeholders increasingly realize that this container market segment has its distinct dynamics and demands. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the reefer container sector, its most important characteristics and trends, and a systematic review of the academic literature on reefer containers and logistics. First the authors outline the characteristics, composition, and development of the reefer container market, showing its growth through modal shift (from conventional reefer ships and airfreight) and differentiation into new cargo markets and niche services. Secondly the authors outline reefer chains in terms of their relevant stages, stakeholders, and processes. Data on insurance claims shows that cold chain failure and cargo loss not only occur due to technical failures, but just as often due to organizational errors e especially due to holdup risk at container transfer points. Thirdly the authors map the present knowledge on reefer containers and reefer transportation through a systematic literature review. The current body of research on reefer containers consists mostly of highly specialized, technical studies on product characteristics and quality preservation, monitoring and control, refrigeration technology, and temperature management. While technological advances in these fields have largely enabled the containerization of cold logistics chains, the first sections of this paper also highlight that many current pressing issues in reefer transportation are logistical and organizational in nature. Therefore, the authors propose a research agenda addressing these overlooked aspects, including supply chain coordination issues and implications of reefer market developments for port policy.

“…In recent years, with its fast turnover, refrigerated containers can achieve the advantages of "door-to-door" and small-batch refrigerated cargo transport, which occupies most of the port-to-port cargo transport business [19]. With the increase of domestic trade routes and the improvement of the whole-journey intermodal transport, the development of refrigerated containers has been promoted [20]. Transport of large quantities of frozen and refrigerated goods is more time-effective; support intermodal transport mode, can provide "door-to-door service"; professional refrigerated container cold chain transport, product quality is more reliable; more shifts, greater selectivity; land-sea intermodal transport, lower transport costs [21].…”

As an important channel of cold chain logistics, the Maritime Silk Road is an important way to transport cold chain goods. In view of the characteristics of perishable cold chain goods, stringent time requirement and high difficulty in quality control, this paper expounds the process and links and requirements of sea transportation of cold chain goods from a systematic perspective, and analyses the significance and difficulties of building cold chain logistics corridor. On the basis of this, the measures of cold chain logistics channel construction are put forward from five aspects. In addition to strengthening communication and cooperation among carriers, shippers and consignees of the cold chain, vigorously developing professional refrigerated container business, comprehensively promoting quality monitoring and management of the cold chain, and using various advanced technical means are also effective measures to promote the construction of the Marine Silk Road.
