Sending in refrigerated containers

     Delivery of cargoes in refrigerated containers is carried out by all means of transport. The desired temperature inside the container is maintained with accuracy ±2°C in the range from -25°C to +25°C. There are three main temperature modes for transportation of goods in refrigerated containers:

  • • From -20°C to -4°C frozen goods are transported;
  • • From -4°C to +6°C chilled goods are transported;
  • • From 0°C to +14° for fruits and vegetables.

 

Peculiarities of cargo dispatch in 20- and 40-foot refrigerated containers

     Transportation of refrigerated containers requires special measures to comply with the specified temperature parameters, ensuring safety of the goods. Power consumption of the refrigeration unit ranges from 5kW to 13kW depending on the volume of the container and the selected temperature. Power is supplied from the ship's network and from autonomous diesel generator in transportation by railway or truck.

     Cooling unit of refrigerated container should be switched on 16 hours before loading operations for cooling or heating of the internal volume for the preset temperature. Loading and sending of Ref containers with frozen goods and fruits and vegetables requires their appropriate placement within. If frozen goods are put closely, containers with fruits and vegetables should be placed with space for the cooled air.

Sending of refrigerated containers by different means of transport

     Sea transportations in Ref containers are carried on container ships Ro-Ro type, general cargo ships and lighters, adapted for their transportations. Ship objects must have the liner energy required for refrigeration. The vessel must have serviceable backup of supply of refrigeration units: 1 per 40 transportable containers. The carrier takes responsibility for the observance of the temperature mode during the transportation of container. 

     Sending of 40-foot refrigerated containers by railway is possible in case of independent power source only. Before sending the amount of filled fuel and the condition of the cooling unit should be checked. Transportation of 20-foot refrigerated container by truck is possible when using diesel generator connected to it. Futovik Company offers a full range of logistics services for refrigerated containers, including transportation, transshipment, warehousing, and transportation of goods for loading with the relevant mode of transport.
