Juice tanker: a unique area of maritime logistics and what a seafarer needs to know
Sea transportation of fruit juicea is a narrow but extremely interesting area of the shipping industry. Specialized tankers designed for transporting chilled orange, apple and other juices are called juice carriers. Despite the relatively small size of this fleet, work on such vessels requires highly qualified crew members and knowledge of the specifics of the cargo.For those who want to try their hand at a non-standard but stable maritime profession, juice truck can be a real discovery.
What is it like? juice truck?
At first glance, the juice tanker looks like an ordinary chemical tanker. But its key feature is the tank cooling system and absolute hygienic cleanliness necessary to preserve the taste and chemical properties of the juice throughout the entire voyage.Main characteristics of the vessel:
Stainless steel insulation tanks, resistant to acidic environments and designed for repeated sanitization.
A complex refrigeration system that maintains the juice temperature in the range of +0...+2°C.
Sensors and automation that monitor pressure, temperature and liquid level.
Separate loading and unloading lines to eliminate product cross-contamination.
These tankers most often operate between South America, Europe and North America, delivering refrigerated concentrates or natural juice.
