Refrigeration Technology for Marine Operations

GEA specializes in cooling processes and technology, and in particular the temperature control of cargo, both for merchant and leisure operations, and for the fishing industry. GEA's HVAC systems keep passengers and crew cool on board Carnival Cruise Lines and P&O passenger ships, and our refrigeration solutions are also responsible for keeping tens of thousands of cubic meters of fruit juice cool on each transporter vessel that we fit or convert. GEA also offer cryotechnology for gas liquefaction systems, refrigeration technology for gas storage in ship tanks, and technology for reliquefaction on board. 

GEA offers effective cooling and freezing technologies for every fishing vessel, whether the ship returns to port the same day or remains at sea for extended periods. In either case the catch should be cooled to around 0°C / 32°F immediately. Two solutions for the provision of ice are available: either the ice is loaded on board when the ship leaves the harbor, or the ice is produced on the ship as needed.
