The route from Bogota to Manaus is strategically beneficial for transporting fresh produce and frozen food items, as it leverages ocean shipping to maintain optimal temperature control during transit. This method minimizes the risk of spoilage, ensuring that chilled and refrigerated food reaches its destination in prime condition. Additionally, the use of ocean freight allows for the efficient movement of larger volumes, catering to the high demand for quality food products in the Manaus market.
The infrastructure in Bogota supports robust logistics operations, featuring modern cold storage facilities and well-connected transport networks for seamless loading and unloading of fresh and frozen goods. In Manaus, the port is equipped with specialized handling equipment for perishable items, ensuring that the arrival process is efficient and maintains the integrity of temperature-sensitive products.

When shipping from Bogota, Colombia to Manaus, Brazil, expect significant delays during the Andes winter (May-September) due to snow closures and reduced road capacity. Additionally, build in extra buffer days during the Atlantic hurricane season (June-November) to accommodate potential weather disruptions. Arrange for vessel space well in advance during peak fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy export seasons (February-June) to avoid congestion. Lastly, track river conditions closely during the wet season (October-March) and plan for alternative routes as needed.

Transporting fresh produce 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 temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods 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. 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 restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh food and frozen food. 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 beverages 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 chilled food 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 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 & Frozen Food requires temperature-controlled containers for both refrigerated and frozen products to maintain their quality during ocean freight. Proper insulation and monitoring systems should be utilized to prevent temperature fluctuations during transit.
Shipments of Fresh & Frozen Food between Colombia and Brazil must comply with both countries' food safety regulations, including obtaining health certificates and ensuring products meet Brazilian import standards. Additionally, customs documentation must be accurately completed to facilitate clearance at both ports.
