The Kenya Port Authority {KPA} has installed more than 1300 power points at its shipment's facilities between Mombasa and Naivasha to run refrigerated containers, boosting fresh produce exporters shipping their consignments by sea. Refrigerated containers, also called reefer containers, are used for goods that require temperature controls during shipping. The special containers are equipped with a refrigeration unit that must be plugged into an electrical source at a depot, terminal, or on board a vessel. The reefer containers are used to ship fruits and vegetables, meat, fish {fresh or frozen}, milk and dairy products, flowers, pharmaceuticals, juice and concentrated, and chocolate.
