How do you ensure constant temperature during transit?
We implement multiple measures:
  • Smart reefers: Each container has its own cooling unit with real‑time adjustment.
  • Continuous monitoring: IoT sensors record temperature every 5 minutes and upload to the cloud.
  • Pre‑cooling inspection: Containers are pre‑cooled and calibrated before loading.
  • Alerts: Automatic alarms trigger if temperature deviates, and we take immediate action.
  • Backup power: Reserve fuel and power ensure continuous operation.
You can view real‑time temperature data and history via our client portal.
Do you offer cargo insurance?
Yes, we provide comprehensive marine cargo insurance covering:
  • Basic covers: FPA, WPA, All Risks (choose as needed)
  • Reefer additional risks: temperature fluctuations, equipment failure
  • War & strike risks (optional)
We work with leading insurers and can tailor coverage based on cargo value. We recommend insuring for at least 110% of the cargo value.
What is the minimum order quantity? Do you support LCL?
  • FCL (Full Container Load): 20' (approx. 28 CBM) or 40' (approx. 68 CBM).
  • LCL (Less than Container Load): We offer reefer LCL services from 1 CBM minimum, ideal for smaller shipments.
For LCL, your cargo will share a reefer container with others, with consistent temperature settings and proper segregation. Please contact us for rates and transit details.
