Abstract: Refrigerating containers (reefers) disposed in a seaboard terminal or onboard a ship and with a power supply via cables is monitored by means of built-in equipment and communicates via the power supply network (3, 4) via an intermediate station (12, 13 or 14) with a central monitoring station (10). In case disturbances on the power supply network causes unreliable data transmission the system automatically selects an alternative communications path via another of the intermediate stations (12, 13, 14).
