Qatar Airways Cargo has approved the Envirotainer Releye® RAP for temperature controlled container after it was launched earlier this year.
Releye® RAP is the largest and most technically advanced product in Envirotainer’s new generation container series and is able to accommodate 5 pallets.
In a statement, the airline noted that this complements its existing range of pharmaceutical transport solutions.
Qatar Airways Cargo has offered its customers Envirotainer’s RAP and RKN active pharma containers since 2014, and was an early adopter of the first Releye® RLP, launched last summer.
The new Releye® container is monitored through a control tower service as standard. It also uses rechargeable batteries, with a single battery charge able to power the system for over 170 hours and offers live monitoring for product condition, location, temperature, humidity, battery levels, door openings, if cargo is loaded or not, and the progress of shipments.
"The Releye RAP's capability of covering transit times and delays without the need of recharging, together with the possibility to track and monitor the product condition, location, temperature, humidity, battery levels, door openings, and location of the shipment, offer a superior stability that sharply contrasts the uncertainty that the pandemic continues to bring," said Guillaume Halleux, chief officer cargo at Qatar Airways, adding that the container's "exceptionally low" CO2 footprint, is fully in line with the airline's sustainability strategy.
