StarRipe™

Go all the way to optimise energy, save time and extend the shelf life of your bananas with our in-transit ripening solution.

Overview

The future of banana ripening is inside the container

Bananas are sensitive travellers and their ripening depends on perfect conditions. StarRipe™ CR (Controlled Ripening) brings precision to this challenge. Built on our proven StarCare™ CA technology, it eliminates the race against time that has defined banana logistics for decades.

With StarRipe™, customers can achieve their desired fruit colour and ripeness inside the container itself, cutting time, adding flexibility, and expanding overall ripening capacity across the banana supply chain.

Real-time RCM (Remote Container Management) monitoring tracks fruit behaviour throughout the journey, while Captain Peter™ provides full end-to-end visibility as the bananas mature safely and consistently.

Why Maersk StarRipe™?

Faster, more flexible time to market

Reach consumers sooner by activating ripening as needed – in transit – and minimising dwell time and handling.

Significant ripening-cost savings

Reduce ripening-related expenses by up to 30% by shifting process into container and eliminating reliance on local ripening-room capacity.

Reduced operating & energy costs

Save on cost of furnishing and powering a stationary ripening chamber and reduce trucking – there with cut energy use by at least 50%.

Lower greenhouse gas emissions

Reduce GHG emissions by at least 50% compared to 4 days of ripening in a stationary chamber, while reducing packaging through Polypak or reusable crates.

Less waste, more saleable fruit

Deliver younger fruit by shortening time to market and limit damage with reduced handling points – both leading to less food waste.

Longer shelf life, better taste

Maintain fruit quality through controlled, gentle ripening in the container, delivering bananas with longer shelf life and noticeable sweetness even at lower colour stages.

See how StarRipe™ ripens bananas on the move

With StarRipe™, you can define your exact colour stage and ripening date, load green bananas, and leave the rest to automated temperature and atmosphere control. Ripening activates remotely at the optimal moment – whether the container is at sea, at the terminal, or in onward transport, while RCM and our execution teams hyper care your cargo, and Captain Peter™ keeps you fully informed at every step.
