I am Steve Bryant, Global Director Product Marketing for the Thermo King
Seagoing Container Refrigeration Division. We are a major supplier of
refrigeration systems to the containerized shipping lines of the world. We
have recently developed a refrigeration system capable of maintaining
transport temperatures for frozen products at -35C. The standard up to now
has been -29C, with transport actually taking place at -18C due to varying
insulating capabilities of older containers. We are researching products
that will benefit from transport and storage at these lower temperatures.
We are aware that certain oily fish maintain higher quality for longer
periods of time at lower temperatures. Our question is, are there frozen
seafood products that will retain better quality at -35C than -29C? If so,
what specific species/products are better off? Are there seafood products
that should not be maintained at -35C?
Your thoughts will be appreciated.
Regards
Steve Bryant
