The challenge

What stood in the way

China’s satellite maritime tracking ships spend months at sea, far from any port. Fresh fruit and vegetables run out early in each mission.

What we did

A process built for this crop

Under a cooperation agreement with Yuanwang-3, Synarise was the technical lead for the project “Practical compound MAP storage technology for ocean-going fruit and vegetables”. It put a MAP-QT200 tray MAP machine and a CYES-II oxygen tester on board, trained the crew, and set oxygen and CO₂ ratios for each fruit and vegetable. The ship tracked the test produce during real missions.

The result

What changed

Conventional vegetables stayed fresh for more than 50 days. The two parties co-wrote the “Practical guide to fruit and vegetable preservation on ocean ships”, along with reports on cold-chain storage, seasonal resupply and the practicality of compound MAP at sea.
