Temperature Control

A zone for every commodity.

From deep-frozen seafood to climate-stable wine, the setpoint is yours. We program it, verify it, and log it the whole way.

  • Frozen seafood
  • Ice cream
  • Frozen meat
  • Frozen vegetables

Chilled

-2Β°C to +8Β°C

Technology

Watched every degree of the way.

Smart reefer units with redundant cooling, live monitoring, and atmosphere control, so a problem becomes an alert, not a loss.

Satellite Tracking & Temp Monitoring

Live satellite tracking with supply and return air temperature on the web portal. Set temps, controlled temps, and timed temps available, with a downloadable log on delivery.

Redundant Power Systems

Dual refrigeration units with automatic failover. Genset power supply keeps the unit running through vessel changes and inland legs, with no gap between port and door.

Controlled Atmosphere

Active CA technology for extended shelf life. Precise control of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ethylene keeps long-transit produce fresh for the full deep-sea voyage.

Pre-Trip Inspection

Full PTI certification on every container. Refrigeration, airflow, seals, and sanitation are tested and recorded before a single carton is loaded.

Industries

Each commodity has its own temperature, atmosphere, and paperwork. We match equipment and documentation to all three.

Paperwork

Documents you'll need.

Perishables carry a few documents dry cargo does not. Upload these in the portal and we handle the filing, flagging anything missing before it causes a hold.

Required

Packing List

Cartons, pallets, dimensions, gross and net weight per line. Matches the commercial invoice line-for-line.

Required

Temperature Setpoint Sheet

Your setpoint, ventilation, humidity, and any controlled-atmosphere spec. We confirm it in writing and program the unit to it.

If produce / plants

Phytosanitary Certificate

Issued by the origin agriculture authority. Certifies the cargo is pest-free and meets the import country's plant-health rules.

Questions

Everything else about reefer.

The eight questions cold-chain shippers ask us most. Don't see yours? Email sales, response within 4 business hours.

Anywhere from -30Β°C deep frozen to +30Β°C controlled ambient, in 0.1Β°C increments. You specify the setpoint at booking. We program it into the unit and verify it during the pre-trip inspection, before a single carton is loaded. Need a different setpoint for the return leg or a multi-stop run? Tell your operator and we will sequence it.
