Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about China to Netherlands cold chain FCL direct shipping

What is the temperature range of cold chain containers?
Our reefers support -25°C to +25°C precise temperature control, adjustable according to cargo requirements, equipped with real-time data loggers, fully traceable. Special requirements (e.g., deep freeze -30°C or constant 15°C) can also be customized.
How long is the voyage from China to Netherlands?
For FCL direct shipping from major Chinese ports (e.g., Shanghai, Ningbo) to Rotterdam, the transit time is about 28 days. Exact duration depends on schedules, weather, and port operations; we provide accurate ETD and ETA upon booking. Compared to transshipment, direct sailing saves 5-7 days and reduces cargo risk.
What does FCL direct mean and what are the advantages?
FCL direct means the cargo is loaded at the origin port and shipped directly to the destination without transshipment. Advantages include:
• Faster transit: less waiting time, more stable schedule;
• Lower risk: avoids multiple handling and temperature interruptions;
• Cost-effective: full container load, lower unit cost, ideal for bulk cargo.
How do you ensure temperature stability during transit?
We adopt multiple safeguard measures:
① Use latest generation reefers from shipping lines with independent cooling units;
② Pre-cooling inspection before loading to verify container sealing and cooling system;
③ Real-time temperature monitoring via IoT devices uploading data to the cloud, accessible to clients anytime;
④ If temperature anomalies occur, automatic alarms are triggered, and we immediately coordinate with the vessel operator.
How far in advance should I book space?
We recommend booking 2-3 weeks in advance, especially during peak seasons (e.g., before Chinese New Year, September–December). Early booking ensures preferred sailing dates and space availability, and gives us enough time for trucking, customs clearance, etc. Urgent shipments can be expedited – contact our customer service team for support.
What cargo types are suitable for cold chain containers?
Almost any temperature- and humidity-sensitive goods, including:
• Fresh produce: fruits, vegetables, flowers, meat, seafood;
• Frozen items: frozen food, ice cream, frozen aquatic products;
• Pharmaceuticals: vaccines, biologicals, drugs, APIs;
• Chemicals: fragrances, fine chemicals, adhesives;
• Others: premium wine, precision instruments, plant seedlings, etc.
Do you provide customs clearance services?
Yes. We provide full customs clearance (export from China + import into Netherlands) as a one-stop service. Our clearance team is familiar with Chinese export procedures and EU import regulations (including food, pharmaceutical, and phytosanitary requirements), and can assist with all necessary documents (certificate of origin, health certificate, phytosanitary certificate, etc.) to ensure swift customs release.
