Storage of full and empty refrigerated containers
In general, one of the maritime services of Bandar Abbas Aria Container Terminal is the storage of full and empty refrigerated containers.
In general, a container is a tool for safe storage of goods and convenient transportation. Now, if the goods are food or sensitive materials whose storage conditions are subject to adjusting the ambient temperature to a temperature below zero degrees Celsius, a device called a refrigerated container is needed.
However, the purpose of using a refrigerated container is not always to transport food, and sometimes such a practical device is used to store these materials. Each refrigerated container can be located in one place and, after connecting it to the city's electricity, it can start regulating the temperature inside.
The most important use of a refrigerated container as a food storage facility is for food manufacturers who intend to mass produce their products and store them in different cities and then distribute them regularly in the market. For example, a factory may produce a specific food product in the city of Mashhad and supply it throughout the country. In this case, after each production, the products must be sent to any other city in the required amount, in which case the cost of transporting the goods and adjusting the time of their shipment may pose many difficulties for the respected manufacturer.
General information about refrigerated containers:
Refrigerated containers are a means of maintaining the temperature of chilled or frozen goods during the transportation period. A refrigerated container necessarily consists of the following three parts:
1- An insulated compartment
2- A cooling system
3- A ventilation and air circulation system in the compartment
For international transportation, a refrigerated container must have the technical standards of the Iso104 Commission.
Usually, the size of the compartment of a refrigerated container is as follows.
Length: (12.12 m) 40 ft – (6.6 m) 20 ft
Height: Mostly 2.57 m or 2.74 m tall
In addition, the refrigerated container must be able to provide temperatures from +20 to -25 c.
Mobile Container Power Generators (Gen-SET):
When transporting a refrigerated container on land, its fully electronic refrigeration system needs the support of a diesel generator to provide the power required by the system. These diesel generators allow us to move the refrigerated container to the desired loading or unloading locations in a bright manner and prevent losses during unloading and loading. Currently, two generator designs are available for this purpose.
1- A generator that can be attached to the top of the container, which is placed on the top of the container on the cooling unit.
2- A generator that can be attached from below, which is connected to the bottom of the container and its trailer. Currently in Iran, by entrusting this model of generators from us and the esteemed shipping companies and providing their services from the Port and Sea Company, such as repairs and maintenance, connecting them to the container, and monitoring and training their operation to our dear customers, an important step is being taken in providing the best possible services to you, the esteemed importers and exporters.
A refrigerated container has an insulated and grid-shaped body made of aluminum, which itself maintains the temperature inside. The dimensions of each refrigerated container are 40 feet, of which a small part of about 2 meters is occupied by the cooling system.

However, the purpose of using a refrigerated container is not always to transport food, and sometimes such a practical device is used to store these materials. Any refrigerated container can be stationary in one place and, after connecting it to the city's electricity, it starts to regulate the temperature inside.
The most important use of refrigerated containers as food storage is for food manufacturers who intend to mass produce their products and store them in different cities and then distribute them regularly in the market. For example, a factory may produce a specific food product in the city of Mashhad and distribute it throughout the country.

How to wash containers or containers
If you want structures such as containers or containers to maintain their beautiful appearance, these types of structures should be washed twice a year. To wash these types of structures, you need an air pressure pump with water, in which case the water flows at high pressure onto the surface of the container and easily cleans all parts on which dust or dirt has settled. But if the type of contamination is oily, you can use detergents along with a brush to remove oily stains, and for the final step where you want to do the rinsing process, you can use the air pump with very high pressure again.
If the dimensions of the container are small, you can use home car washes that are easily portable, but if the container is larger, then you should use mobile car washes that are equipped with tanks and are transported by trucks, because home car washes can no longer accommodate larger containers.

Common Terms in Container Shipping
In container shipping, like any other profession and industry, many terms have become common and used over time. Since knowing these terms is necessary for those who intend to ship cargo by container, we will introduce some of the most useful of these terms below.
(FULL CONTAINER LOAD) FCL: The term full container is used when the container is filled with the goods of one shipper. It does not matter whether the shipper has filled the entire container or half of it is empty, but FCL means that the container only contains the goods of one owner of the goods.
(LESS THAN A CONTAINER LOAD) LCL: The term less than a full container is used when a container is filled with the goods of several owners of the goods. This method of loading is usually carried out by the carrier and occurs when the cargo of several owners of goods is not enough to fill a container and the carrier places the goods of several people in one container in order to make optimal use of the loading space.
(CONTAINER FREICHT STATION) CFS or container station: A container station is a place in the port where goods are loaded into or unloaded from a container. There are facilities at the container station to store goods before loading or after unloading. The term CFS is also seen in bills of lading where the goods are registered as LCL. Because the goods must be delivered to the carrier at the station, so that the carrier can load them into containers in a combined manner.
(CONTAINER YARD) CY or container yard: It is an area in the port where the carrier receives loaded containers from the exporter to load them onto the ship or delivers the containers to the importer after unloading from the ship.
FCL/LCL: This term is used when the shipper loads goods to be delivered to several different recipients in one country into a single container. Such cargo must be separated in the destination country and each recipient's cargo is delivered to him.
LCL/FCL: This term is used when the cargo of several different shippers is unloaded at a container station and loaded into a container and delivered to a recipient.
FCL/FCL: This term is used when the entire cargo loaded into a container is sent from one shipper to one recipient.
(FREE IN AND OUT) FIO: This term is used when the shipper or recipient of the goods pays the cost of loading in the country of origin and unloading in the country of destination in addition to the cost of transporting the goods in the container.
TRANSHIPMEMT: This word, which means change of means of transport, is often used to change the carrier ship midway. In the case of changing the carrier ship at an intermediate port, it is necessary to specify in the contract who will pay the cost of this change of ship, the sender, the recipient or the shipping company?
(CONTAINER SERVICE TARIFF) CST: Container service tariff is specified with this term.
