To ship goods worldwide, sea transport can be used. To achieve this, the goods are loaded in special sea containers which are placed on the ship. If these goods are temperature sensitive goods, a special sea container is used also called a reefer which is an insulated sea container equipped with a cooling engine which blows chilled or heated air over the goods to maintain the required temperature in the container also called an active cooling system. Temperature sensitive goods such as food products, pharmaceutical products or chemical products cannot be transported in the standard sea containers due to the extreme long sailing times that sea transport requires. Depending on the destination the transport can take up to weeks, even months. All this time the ship can be sailing in very extreme weather conditions as very hot or very cold. This means that during this long time the goods in the sea container are enduring these extreme weather and temperature conditions. The question than is what these extreme conditions will do to the quality of your goods and if it would be advisable to take extra measurements to keep the extreme conditions under control.
