Introduction

Introduction

  • Reefer containers carry cargo of perishable nature.
  • Hence they require proper operation and maintenance throughout transportation.
  • This is a value added course for Marine Engineers & Electrical Officers.
  • It is essential that Marine Engineers and Electrical Officers are well trained for same with adequate knowledge and skill to operate, maintain and troubleshoot the systems.
  • These courses improve the same by lectures from E-Learning, group discussions, hands on training, simulation exercises, and logical troubleshooting with a refrigerated container and associated means.
