As the world’s major aquatic product exporter, Indonesia’s seafood logistics relies on cross-island sea and land combined transportation. Vessels and refrigerated trucks travel back and forth among thousands of tropical islands all year round, and the sea salt fog carried by ocean wind continuously corrodes refrigeration equipment, leading to frequent compressor jamming, pipeline rust and temperature control failure of ordinary imported cooling units. Aiming at this unique archipelagic logistics pain point, Newbase launches fully anti-corrosion optimized Marine Reefer Unit, specially developed for Indonesia’s deep-sea fishing product export cold chain.
Tuna, shrimp and squid exported from Indonesian coastal fishing ports need stable ultra-low temperature storage during multi-day inter-island shipping, requiring refrigeration equipment to support continuous -25℃ deep freezing output. The built-in core component of Marine Reefer Unit is the reinforced Deep Freeze Chiller, which thickens the heat exchange pipeline wall and adds anti-salt coating on the metal surface. Local seafood export factories in Surabaya and Makassar reported that using the Deep Freeze Chiller equipped on Marine Reefer Unit keeps the temperature fluctuation of seafood cargo below ±1℃ during long-distance marine transportation, greatly reducing frozen product deterioration losses.
To facilitate integrated procurement for local cold chain modification factories and large fishing group fleets, Newbase packages refrigeration host, fixed accessories, temperature recorder and spare parts into complete Salt Fog Cooling Kit. Every set of integrated kits undergoes 72-hour salt spray aging test before delivery to simulate the marine corrosive environment of Indonesian archipelagos. All complete Salt Fog Cooling Kit contains standard configuration of Marine Reefer Unit and matched Deep Freeze Chiller, eliminating clients’ trouble of purchasing scattered cooling accessories separately from multiple suppliers.
Indonesian local fishing enterprises and logistics groups have diverse customized demands for refrigeration unit power, cabinet size and communication monitoring function, so Newbase provides full-process ODM Reefer Pack development service. Clients can adjust the deep-freeze temperature range of Deep Freeze Chiller, modify the external outline of Marine Reefer Unit and upgrade the remote temperature monitoring module according to the tonnage of fishing boats and refrigerated trucks. The ODM production cycle for medium and large bulk orders is controlled within 18 working days, matching the seasonal export peak of Indonesian marine products.
The core power source determining the long-term stable operation of refrigeration equipment in salt fog environment is the self-developed Corrosion Resistant Compressor. The internal rotor and winding of this compressor adopt anti-rust alloy material, avoiding mechanical stuck failure caused by salt fog deposition. All complete sets of ODM Reefer Pack and standard Salt Fog Cooling Kit shipped to Indonesia are equipped with the upgraded version of Corrosion Resistant Compressor, ensuring unified spare part supply and convenient after-sales maintenance for archipelagic logistics fleets scattered on different islands.
A large inter-island cold chain logistics group headquartered in Jakarta has signed a two-year framework supply contract with Newbase, purchasing thousands of sets of Marine Reefer Unit, supporting Deep Freeze Chiller and matched Corrosion Resistant Compressor. The group’s purchasing director said that the integrated Salt Fog Cooling Kit and flexible ODM Reefer Pack service perfectly match the complex multi-island transport scenarios of their seafood export business.
Industry research data shows Indonesia’s marine cold chain equipment market will grow at an annual rate of 12.7% from 2026 to 2031, driven by continuous expansion of tuna, shrimp and tropical fishery export volume. Newbase will continue to strengthen the anti-salt-fog coating technology of Corrosion Resistant Compressor, upgrade the deep-freeze efficiency of Deep Freeze Chiller, and expand the production capacity of integrated Salt Fog Cooling Kit, becoming the most trusted supplier of customized ODM Reefer Pack and standard Marine Reefer Unit for Indonesian archipelagic seafood logistics buyers.
