Reefer Cables - Container Ship Specific
Marine reefer cables provide temporary shipboard electrical power to refrigerated ISO containers. Assemblies typically use heavy-duty flexible cable and 32 A, 4-pole IEC 60309 connectors suitable for exposed container-deck environments.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Reefer Cables for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Connectors commonly conform to IEC 60309-1 and IEC 60309-2, with ingress protection assessed under IEC 60529. Marine cable selection may follow applicable IEC 60092 requirements and the vessel's approved electrical specification. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Cable assemblies may require type-approved components or acceptance under the vessel's class rules. Applicable societies can include DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas and ClassNK; approval must be verified for the exact cable, connectors and installation. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Confirm voltage, current, phase sequence, connector keying and cable length before use. Route clear of sharp edges, hot surfaces, hatch covers and vehicle paths; support the cable so connector contacts carry no mechanical load. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect the sheath, strain relief, pins, seals and locking parts before each use. Keep contacts clean and dry, test insulation and protective-earth continuity periodically, and replace damaged assemblies rather than making unapproved deck repairs. |
| Safety Notes | Isolate and lock out the reefer outlet before connecting, disconnecting or servicing unless the connector is specifically rated for load breaking. Never use cables with exposed conductors, overheated contacts, damaged earth continuity or water-contaminated connectors. |
