Ensuring Safety Alongside Innovation: Greener Reefers' Terminal Hazard Identification in Durban

18/02/2026 , Actualité :

The safe integration of climate-friendly refrigeration technologies into busy port environments requires more than technical innovation—it demands a deep understanding of operational realities and potential risks. Within the Greener Reefers project, a Terminal Hazard Identification (HAZID) Workshop with Transnet in Durban provided a dedicated forum to examine exactly that.

The workshop forms a central element of the Operational Modes Risk Assessment (OMRA) framework and focused on identifying and evaluating terminal-specific hazard scenarios associated with refrigerated containers using propane (R290) as a natural refrigerant. As terminals are dynamic, complex environments, particular attention was given to how R290-based reefers interact with day-to-day operational processes.
