The value of experience in Reefer Cargo handling
Reefer or refrigerated cargo requires specialized handling and care due to the unique challenges of maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive cargo throughout the supply chain. The critical factor in reefer cargo is to control and preserve the required temperature conditions from origin to destination.
One significant problem in reefer cargo is temperature fluctuations. If not managed meticulously, these fluctuations can lead to spoilage, compromising the quality and safety of perishable goods. For instance, a sudden rise in temperature while transporting fresh produce like fruits and vegetables can accelerate ripening and result in premature decay. Such variations can render the entire shipment unsuitable for consumption or sale.

Another area for improvement is inadequate airflow within the reefer container. Improper loading, where products are not evenly stuffed, can create obstructions and hinder optimal air circulation. This can lead to the development of hot spots, causing uneven temperature distribution. For example, in a poorly loaded reefer container carrying seafood, insufficient airflow may result in localized warmth, accelerating bacterial growth and significantly reducing the shelf life of the products.
Access World addresses these challenges by implementing stringent handling practices. Our team deactivates power units during loading operations to prevent ambient air exchange. We ensure that products are uniformly stuffed to avoid obstructions, reducing the risk of hot spots. Additionally, by utilizing spacers and adhering to load line guidelines, we stabilize cargo and promote optimal airflow within reefer containers.
