NOR containers, also known as non-operating reefer containers, are intermodal containers that are designed for transporting temperature-sensitive goods. Unlike operating reefer containers, which have built-in refrigeration units that can be used to keep the goods inside at a certain temperature, NOR containers do not have operating refrigeration units. Instead, they rely on insulation to maintain a consistent temperature inside the container.
NOR containers are slightly smaller than standard shipping containers, but they are highly sought after for their excellent temperature insulation properties. They are commonly used to transport perishable goods that need to be kept at a certain temperature during transport. Because they don't have operating refrigeration units, NOR containers are typically less expensive than operating reefer containers. However, they still provide a reliable way to transport temperature-sensitive goods over long distances.
