ARE GENSETS EXPENSIVE ?
GENSET FEES (BRAZIL, INCLUDING FUEL)
2004 = USD 25 / DAY vs. 2014 = UPTO USD 150 / DAY
DAILY GENSET FEE = 0,0015 % FOB VALUE FOR FZN MEAT
CONTAINER
DESPITE NOMINAL INCREASE OF THE OPERATION OF
DIESEL GENSETS IS NOT PROFITABLE FOR THE CARRIERS.
• HIGH MANITENANCE COSTS.
• PILFERAGE OF PARTS AND FUEL.
• HANDLING AND REPOSITIONING
• BREAKDOWN AND DEPRECIATION
COST OF A NEW GENSET CAN BE UPTO 50% THAT OF A
REEFER CONTAINER.
GLOBAL GENSET FLEET ESTIMATED AT 20.000 UNITS VS. A
REEFER FLEET OF 1.300.000 UNITS.
RATIO GENSETS : REEFERS = 1 : 65
REGIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
• COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIERMENTS FOR MARKETS
WITH UNBROKEN COLDCHAIN DEMANDS. (EX. USDA)
• FOOD SAFETY AND QUALITY STANDARDS. (EX. CHILE).
• ECSA = GENSETS SUPPLIED MAINLY BY SHIPPING
LINES
• CHILE = GENSETS SUPPLIED BY TRUCKERS AND LINES
• EUROPE = GENSETS SUPPLIED MANILY BY TRUCKERS
EXTRACT FROM USDA RECOMENDATIONS
ON TRANSPORT OF FROZEN FOODSTUFFS
“Fluctuating temperatures during distribution degrade the market quality of
frozen foods.
Re-cooling frozen foods to the thermostat set point after even a slight
temperature rise causes moisture to migrate from the product to the colder
surfaces of the packaging materials. This results in product dehydration and
undesirable frost buildup inside the packages.
Product quality losses will increase with the amount of temperature rise and frequency
of re-cooling.
Frozen foods thaw between 15oF and 32oF (–9o and 0oC). Although the
changes are not easily recognized, even at temperatures as low as 0oF (–18oC),
frozen foods may deteriorate from fat oxidation and enzymatic changes….
Ensure that trucks transporting frozen food are:
• clean and free from dirt, debris, odors, or any substance that may contaminate the
food;
• constructed, insulated, and equipped with adequate refrigeration capacity and
air delivery system to continuously maintain a product temperature of 0oF
(–18oC) or colder.”
OPPORTUNITIES
• OPENING FOR

• GROWING MARKET FOR INTERNAL

• TRIANGULATION

• ADDITIONAL PROFIT MARGINS FOR TRUCKERS.
• ASSOCIATION BETWEEN REDUCED INVESTMENT AND
INCREASE IN DEMAND COULD LEAD TO A POTENTIAL
