Reefer · Chilled · Frozen
Food & Perishables
Reefer and chilled air freight for fresh, chilled and frozen food, where shelf life and cold-chain continuity decide the value of the cargo.
WHY IT IS DIFFERENT
Shelf life starts counting at packing
For perishables, transit time is part of the product’s shelf life. A delay at the port, a reefer that was not pre-cooled or a missing health certificate can cost more than the freight itself.
LOGISTICS REQUIREMENTS
What this cargo needs from a forwarder
Reefer set-points — the right temperature and ventilation settings for each commodity.
Cold-chain continuity — minimal time unplugged between truck, terminal and vessel.
Shelf-life planning — routing chosen for remaining shelf life at arrival, not just price.
Inspection and documents — health and phytosanitary certificates ready for border checks.
HOW WE HANDLE IT
Planned around the cargo, not the rate sheet.
We book reefers with set-points and pre-trip inspection confirmed, coordinate plug-in at the terminal, and prepare import documents before arrival. Chilled air freight is used where sea transit would eat too much of the shelf life.
