Responsible Refrigeration
A holistic approach to your Refrigeration needs
In the maritime industry, reducing fuel consumption has traditionally been the primary focus when addressing carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. Today, evolving regulations and increased scrutiny are making it clear that refrigerants and refrigeration systems must also be actively managed as part of a vessel’s emissions and compliance strategy.
Responsible Refrigeration is our structured, end‑to‑end approach that moves beyond reactive compliance. It helps shipowners address refrigeration‑related emissions by combining low‑GWP refrigerant selection, effective refrigerant loss control, and system optimization. By taking a holistic view across the vessel lifecycle, Responsible Refrigeration enables measurable emissions reduction, stronger compliance readiness, and more resilient operations.

Refrigeration Inventory Inspection
Get a complete picture of what is on board, what is missing, and what needs to change through our systematic onboard assessment and structured findings with our best product recommendations. Stop guessing. Start knowing.
-
Refrigerant CO2 calculator
The refrigerant CO₂ calculator is developed to guide and encourage ship owners to adopt low GWP refrigerants. The calculator allows you to estimate the direct CO₂ emission you can avoid from your ship with low GWP alternatives. It is simple to use and requires only a limited amount of information from you.

Refrigerant Recovery: How-To Videos
We know refrigerant recovery can be a complex task. Choosing equipment is a task on its own, but knowing how to use them right is another. We created a series of videos exclusively for our Unitor Refrigerant Recovery Equipment to guide your crew on how best to carry out refrigerant recovery for your maintenance operations on board.
