Delivering what matters to customers from coast to coast

Combined road-sea traffic is increasingCombined road-sea traffic is increasing to create an efficient ‘motorways-of-the-sea’ network in

addition to the long-established ferry routes to islands or on inland seas. It’s not difficult to see why:

On many operational routes, the ferry has proved to be an environmentally friendly logistic

alternative. On top of this, the ferry alternative offers tangible benefits compared to the full road option. The cost is lower

and road-sea traffic offers better on-time delivery performance for both accompanied and unaccompanied trailers.

Extract from Decision No. 884/2004/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on Community guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network.

Combined road-sea traffic: Motorways of the seaThe trans-European network of motorways of the sea is

intended to concentrate flows of freight on sea-based

logistical routes in such a way as to improve existing

maritime links or to establish new viable, regular and

frequent maritime links for the transport of goods

between Member States so as to reduce road congestion

and/or improve access to peripheral and island

regions and States. Motorways of the sea should not

exclude the combined transport of persons and goods,

provided that freight is predominant.

SLXe-300 Ferry Key Benefits

The SLXe-300 Ferry is a special version of the SLXe-300 model, already recognised as the best performer on the market.

In order to meet the specific requirements of the mid- and long-haul ferry routes, Thermo King has introduced unique

features to this model. With the SLXe-300 Ferry, you benefit from the highly standardised and consistent components

selection available on the entire SLXe range to guarantee easy and cost-effective maintenance.

Reinforced unit protectionReefer units are potentially exposed to the risk of shock

damage occurring during the critical loading/unloading

phase. This could result in additional downtime for

equipment refurbishment and potentially even loss of

the cargo. In order to optimise use of equipment and

guarantee the quality of the cargo load, the

SLXe-300 Ferry is available with:

• A specific protection kit designed to avoid any shock

damage while still allowing easy maintenance of the

unit: 2 sets of bars to be mounted on trailer front

wall (upper protection) and reefer bottom panel

(lower protection).

• Reinforced access doors plus specific flexible latches

to withstand minor shocks while remaining functional.

Guaranteed maximum reliabilityOnce disconnected from the ferry’s power supply, trailers

are often stored on the port dock waiting for the tractor

that will carry them to the final cargo load destination.

At this stage, the unit needs to restart, even when not

attended. Therefore, the SLXe-300 Ferry is equipped

with:

• An EON battery, from the latest and most reliable

generation of batteries available on the market.

• An integral SafeGuard Battery Protection Kit to

permanently monitor the battery charge level and to

disconnect the battery so it can reach the minimum

voltage level (12.2 V) required to allow a safe restart.

SLXe-300 Ferry Key Benefits

Increased capacity under high ambient conditionsOperation of the reefer units when the trailer is parked on

a ferry’s lower deck leads to more demanding operation

conditions compared to road transport, such as high

ambient temperatures and extended non-stop operation

sequences. The SLXe-300 Ferry is equipped with a

specific stand-by mode drive train, which includes:

• An oversized electric motor, fit for operation under

higher ambient conditions.

• An optimised starter panel allowing a smooth start

with reduced inrush current and component stress.

• Compared to the standard “road only” unit, the

SLXe-300 Ferry can deliver up to 30% more capacity

in full electric mode.

Built-in corrosion protectionIn order to withstand the severe conditions of maritime

environments, the SLXe-300 Ferry benefits from all

the experience acquired by Thermo King in refrigerated

on-road, rail and maritime transport applications around

the globe.

Thanks to the use of high-grade stainless steel and

galvanised steel, a plastic electric box, e-coating and

powder painting of sensitive components, the durability

of your investment is guaranteed.

Greater fuel savingsFuel expense continues to represent a significant portion

of your operating cost. The SLXe-300 Ferry incorporates

the latest fuel-saving technologies while delivering the

refrigeration performance the market demands.

Thermo King’s Electronic Throttling Valve (ETV) uses a

microprocessor to control the system precisely. As the

temperature approaches the set point, the ETV begins

to close, throttling the suction gas returning to the

compressor. This continues until the ETV becomes almost

completely closed, thus reducing engine load and

saving fuel.

Other ETV features include:

• Maximisation of capacity for faster pull-down and

less fuel usage.

• Elimination of temperature spikes for extended

product life.

• High ambient operation for worry-free unattended

long-distance operation.

Unmatched quality and reliabilityTested using the latest and most rigorous testing

techniques at state-of-the-art R&D centres worldwide,

Thermo King’s reefer units deliver unsurpassed quality

every time.

• Quality and reliability delivered from day 1

• Dedicated engineering and testing

• Three state-of-the-art testing centres worldwide

By investing in a new SLXe-300 Ferry trailer refrigeration unit, you can benefit from the expertise and support

of Thermo King’s global network

Save time and fuel with ETV (the fastest pull-down (and pull-up) in the industry).ETV (Electronic Throttling Valve) gets your trailer to the right temperature faster.

Minimising environmental impact

From the start of the SLXe development project, a key deliverable was reduction of environmental impact. The design team

conducted a life cycle assessment of the SLX range to identify areas where the greatest gains could be achieved without

compromising cost of ownership or performance. The result is a product range with a substantially reduced environmental

footprint.

The SLXe-300 Ferry is specifically designed to allow your company to operate on combined road-sea routes, allowing your

business to decrease its cost and environment impact and to restore your company profit.
