American Freedom, one of the world’s largest reefer ships, uses a cascade ammonia and CO2 refrigeration system, helping to generate a cooling output of 4,500kW. The cascade system is able to process around 400 tons of fish per day, storing catch in the hull of the ship where there are 36 vertical plate freezers in operation.

The UK retailer Lidl uses eutectic plates to cool food at distribution centres to -24°C. The brine-filled plates may then be placed in insulated containers to preserve perishable foods during transportation without the need for additional refrigerants.
The first natural-refrigerant based solution ever developed for marine container shipping, the NaturaLINE® unit delivers an environmentally sustainable alternative for refrigerated marine transport. By using carbon dioxide (CO2 ) as a natural refrigerant, the NaturaLINE design improves upon the PrimeLINE unit’s ability to reduce carbon emissions by 28 percent compared to previous units using synthetic refrigerant.
