Defekte reefercontainere koster tre livet

Maersk Line har besluttet at trække 844 reefercontainere, der i løbet af 2011 er blevet serviceret i Vietnam, ud af drift. Det sker efter at tre mennesker er blevet dræbt i forbindelse med eksplosioner i containernes køleaggregater.

Det drejer sig om reefercontainere fra flere store producen som Thermo-King, Star Cool, Carrier og Daikin. Containerne har det til fælles, at de alle har været til eftersyn i Vietnam i løbet af 2011.

Mistanken går på, at der i forbindelse med serviceeftersynet i Vietnam er tilført kølesystemerne en forkert eller forurenet gas der kan udløse en eksplosion i køleaggregaterne.

Mærsk har via World Shipping Council’s Safe Transport of Containers Working Group udsendt en advarsel til alle rederier og servicefirmaer om faren.

Internt anbefaler Maersk Line, at der slukkes for alle reefercontainere der fattes mistanke til, og at containerne efterfølgende anbringes på et så øde sted som muligt, med køleaggregatet pegende væk fra mennesker eller trafik.
