The ocean route from Bangkok to Manaus is ideal for transporting fresh produce and chilled food, ensuring that perishable items maintain their quality over long distances. Utilizing refrigerated containers, this route minimizes temperature fluctuations, preserving the integrity of both fresh and frozen food. Additionally, the extensive shipping networks facilitate efficient handling and timely delivery of goods, which is essential for maintaining freshness. This route also offers a cost-effective solution for bulk shipments, allowing businesses to optimize their supply chains.
Bangkok boasts a robust logistics infrastructure, including state-of-the-art ports equipped with advanced cold storage facilities to handle perishable products effectively. The city's strategic location in Southeast Asia further enhances its role as a key distribution hub for fresh and frozen food. In Manaus, the port is well-equipped to receive refrigerated containers, with facilities designed to process and distribute products swiftly. This combination of infrastructure at both ends ensures a seamless transit for chilled and frozen goods, supporting the needs of consumers in the region.

When shipping from Bangkok to Manaus, anticipate significant delays due to the Southeast Asia Monsoon and Western Pacific Typhoon seasons (May-November). Build in buffer days to schedules and communicate regularly with carriers for real-time updates, especially during peak rainfall (June-October) and typhoon activity (August-October). Additionally, expect increased handling times and potential disruptions during Brazil's wet season (October-March), necessitating alternative transport options and enhanced cargo securing measures.

Shipping fresh produce successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for frozen goods, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a time‑definite service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, Frozen food can often be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines have limits on how much dry ice is allowed per package and per shipment, and labels must show the net weight of dry ice and UN1845 markings. We recommend checking carrier and destination rules in advance and combining dry ice with insulated packaging to keep reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and frozen food. We recommend arranging a policy that specifically covers temperature deviation and spoilage, and declaring the full value of your refrigerated food shipment. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that correct handling was used before honoring claims.
Most Chilled food should stay between 0–4°C, while many Frozen food products must remain at −18°C or colder. Exact ranges depend on the product type and local regulations. Always verify requirements for each item and specify the target range on booking instructions and labels so your Reefer cargo is set correctly.
You can sometimes mix Fresh produce and Frozen food in the same load, but only if your container or vehicle can maintain separate temperature zones. Chilled food typically needs temperatures above freezing, while Frozen goods must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, best practice is separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food require strict temperature control throughout the ocean freight journey to maintain quality. Proper refrigeration and insulation are essential during loading, transport, and unloading. Additionally, it is crucial to ensure that containers used are equipped with reliable cooling systems to prevent spoilage.
Shipping fresh and frozen food from Bangkok to Manaus requires specific documentation, including a phytosanitary certificate, health certificate, and commercial invoice. Customs clearance will require compliance with Brazilian regulations regarding food imports, including inspection for pests and diseases, and adherence to labeling requirements.
