Over 10 years of experience in international Reefer Cargo transport
Thailand
Taiwan
The ocean route from Bangkok to Taipei is particularly advantageous for transporting fresh produce and chilled food due to its capacity for large volumes and temperature-controlled shipping. Utilizing refrigerated containers ensures that both fresh and frozen items maintain their quality throughout the journey, minimizing spoilage and waste. This route also benefits from established shipping lanes, allowing for efficient and reliable transport of perishable goods. Additionally, the proximity of both cities to major markets enhances distribution possibilities upon arrival.
Bangkok's port is well-equipped with advanced facilities for handling refrigerated cargo, featuring specialized loading and unloading equipment designed for perishable items. The infrastructure includes temperature monitoring systems that ensure optimal conditions are maintained during transit. Similarly, Taipei's port is supported by robust cold chain logistics, with storage facilities that cater to the needs of fresh and frozen food products. This synergy between the two ports facilitates seamless transfers and efficient distribution networks, ensuring that high-quality food reaches consumers swiftly.

When shipping from Bangkok to Taipei via ocean, anticipate significant delays due to the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-September) and the Western Pacific typhoon season (June-November). Build in buffer days to schedules and secure flexible berthing windows to accommodate potential port congestion and weather-related disruptions. Enhance cargo securing measures and use waterproof coverings during peak rainfall (June-October). Coordinate closely with carriers for real-time updates, especially during critical periods like the pre-holiday export rush (August-November) and Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) to mitigate delays.

Shipping Fresh food successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use cooler boxes with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled 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 Usually 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. Most experts recommend checking carrier and destination rules in advance and combining dry ice with insulated packaging to keep Frozen food at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may Exclude coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and Frozen goods. Most shippers should arranging a policy that specifically covers temperature deviation and spoilage, and declaring the full value of your Reefer cargo. 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 temperature-controlled shipment 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. Fresh produce typically needs temperatures above freezing, while frozen food must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, We recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be stored in temperature-controlled containers to maintain quality during transport. It is essential to monitor temperature throughout the journey to prevent spoilage. Additionally, proper loading and unloading procedures should be followed to minimize exposure to ambient temperatures.
Shipments of Fresh & Frozen Food require compliance with both Thai export regulations and Taiwanese import regulations, including necessary health and safety certifications. Proper documentation, such as a phytosanitary certificate for fresh produce and import permits, must be secured to ensure smooth customs clearance at both ports.
