A container refrigeration apparatus includes: a casing which forms an external storage space communicating with the exterior of the container and an internal storage space communicating with the interior of the container; a refrigerant circuit; an external fan; an internal fan; and an inside air control system including an exhaust passage which allows a space on a blowout side of the internal fan in the internal storage space to communicate with the external storage space, and controls composition of the inside air in the container. An external end of the exhaust passage is open on a suction side of the external fan in the external storage space.
