SeaCube enhances cold chain logistics and leadership

SeaCube Container Leasing has strengthened its position in the cold chain logistics sector and has appointed key leadership positions. The US company based in Montvale, NJ, which specializes in intermodal equipment, is pursuing a growth strategy based on strategic investments, acquisitions, and the enhancement of its leadership team. These measures aim to increase SeaCube’s ability to provide reliable and scalable solutions in the field of refrigeration technology.

In 2025, SeaCube reported being the largest global investor in refrigerated intermodal equipment. This underscores the company’s commitment to the cold chain, even in a market characterized by uncertainties. While the dry container market faces oversupply and volatility, the demand for refrigerated equipment remains stable, supported by the continuous need for food, pharmaceuticals, and other essential goods.

As part of its growth strategy, SeaCube has strengthened its leadership team with several key individuals. Jakob Karstoft (left) has been appointed Chief Commercial Officer and leads the global trade strategy with a focus on customer-oriented solutions. He brings over 15 years of experience from Maersk Line. Ben Thomas (right) takes on the role of Chief Financial Officer, succeeding Dave Doorley, who will retire in June 2026. Thomas previously served as Vice President and Treasurer at SeaCube.

James Armstrong, Senior Vice President for Emerging Business, is responsible for the strategic direction of SeaCube Cold Solutions Inc. and Martin Container LLC. He focuses on developing portable cooling solutions for customers in the United States. Matthew Salmi, Vice President of Marketing and Commercial Strategy, leads the company’s brand and communication strategy.
