Shipping Temperature-Controlled Packaging Systems

Shipping Methods

Temperature-controlled packaging systems are typically shipped as FCL (Full Container Load) in standard 20' or 40' reefer containers. Palletization and securement within the container are crucial. Exceptionally large or oddly shaped components may require special handling and potentially OOG (Out of Gauge) shipment or even Breakbulk shipment if dimensions exceed standard container capacity. Breakbulk is less efficient and more expensive.

Packaging Specifications

Proper packaging is critical. Use high-quality insulated containers designed for temperature-sensitive goods. Select appropriate coolants (e.g., gel packs, dry ice) based on the required temperature range and transit time. Ensure adequate insulation to minimize temperature fluctuations. Packaging should be robust enough to withstand the rigors of shipping and handling.

Regulatory Compliance

Compliance with relevant regulations is mandatory. Maintain accurate temperature monitoring records throughout the entire shipping process. Prepare all necessary customs declarations, highlighting the temperature-sensitive nature of the goods. Specific regulations vary by country; confirm requirements for both origin and destination.

Troubleshooting

Potential issues include temperature excursions and equipment malfunctions. Regular monitoring of temperature is crucial. In case of deviations, immediately contact Shipping International. Redundant temperature monitoring systems and contingency plans (e.g., backup coolants) can mitigate risks. Proper documentation of any issues is essential for claims.
