TT Brief: temperature controlled cargo

Keep it cool! 

Temperature-controlled cargoes present operational challenges for all those involved in the global supply chain. The biopharmaceutical industry alone loses approximately USD 35 billion a year as a result of failures in temperature-controlled logistics. 

Claims typically arise from deviations from the required temperature, commonly caused by inaccurate communication, operational errors and equipment breakdowns. This TT Brief outlines practical guidance for those involved in the operation, packing, unpacking or handling of temperature-controlled, ‘refrigerated’ or ‘reefer’ cargo transport units.
