Refrigerated (reefer) shipping container rental offers various benefits for your business. The need for reefer shipping container rental is becoming increasingly crucial, especially for the food, pharmaceutical, and import-export industries that deal with temperature-sensitive products.
Reefer containers are equipped with an active cooling system to maintain the internal temperature within a specific range, typically between -30°C and +30°C. One of the functions of reefer containers is to transport and store goods that require constant temperature control.
Some of the cargoes covered include meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, dairy products, harmaceuticals products, fresh flowers, etc.
