Shipping Bulk Frozen Dairy Products: A UK Guide

Shipping Options

Bulk frozen dairy products are typically shipped as FCL (Full Container Load) using refrigerated containers ("reefers"). However, if your cargo exceeds standard container dimensions or weight limits, OOG (Out of Gauge) shipment, necessitating specialized handling and potentially Breakbulk shipping, may be required.

FCL (Full Container Load) Shipping

Step 1: Assess Your Cargo

Determine the exact dimensions and weight of your frozen dairy products and their packaging.
Choose the appropriate reefer container size (e.g., 20ft, 40ft, 45ft).
Ensure your packaging is suitable for long-distance transport and maintains product temperature.

Step 2: Freight Forwarder Selection

Information on refrigerated cargo freight forwarders is available. Shipping International operates in the UK.

Step 3: Shipment Booking

Provide all necessary cargo details to your freight forwarder.
Confirm the shipping route, delivery timeframe, and costs.
Arrange for customs clearance documentation.

Step 4: Cargo Preparation

Load your frozen dairy products into the reefer container, ensuring proper temperature control.
Secure the cargo to prevent shifting during transit.

Step 5: Shipment Monitoring

Track your shipment's progress using the tracking number provided by your freight forwarder.
Contact your freight forwarder immediately if any issues arise.
