Food & Perishables
Refrigerated transport and time-sensitive routing for cargo that is only worth what it is worth on arrival.
What goes wrong in food & perishables.
Perishable freight has a clock on it that started before you booked. Everything in the chain either protects the remaining shelf life or spends it.
Shelf life spent in transit
Every day in transit or in a holding area is a day the product cannot be sold at the other end.
Temperature has to hold at handover
Most cold-chain failures happen at transfer points, not while the cargo is moving.
Inspection at the border
Food shipments attract inspection, and an inspection with missing paperwork becomes a delay the cargo cannot afford.
Seasonal peaks with fixed harvest dates
The volume arrives when the crop arrives, whether or not capacity was booked for it.
What we actually change about the shipment.
Routed for total elapsed time
We plan against door-to-door hours including clearance, because that is what shelf life is actually spent on.
Handover points planned, not assumed
Transfers between legs are scheduled so the cargo is not waiting in ambient conditions between them.
Documentation ready before arrival
Customs and any commodity-specific paperwork are prepared ahead so an inspection is a check, not a search.
Capacity booked against the season
Peak volume is planned in advance rather than sourced at spot rates on the week it lands.
Tell us the required temperature range and the permitted excursion window when you request a quote — for perishable cargo these determine the routing, not the other way round.
