Reefer cargo is temperature-controlled and refrigerated merchandise, including fresh and frozen foods and sensitive electronics, which can’t be exposed to ambient temperatures. Reefer cargo is typically transported on a dedicated cargo ship and stored within shipping containers that provide controlled temperatures, such as dehumidified air, refrigeration, or freezing temperatures. Temperatures must be continuously monitored and preserved to avoid harming goods.
Reefer cargo includes:
- Fresh foods, including fruit, meat, fish, vegetables, and dairy products
- Frozen foods
- Flowers
- Electronics
Reefer cargo shipments enable customers to enjoy products from around the world, without worrying about the threat of food spoilage and illness. They also enable companies to mass-export products to geographies offering greater demand and higher prices than domestic markets.
