Specialized freight forwarding services for Frozen Food shipments
Indonesia
Brazil
The ocean route from Jakarta to Paranagua is particularly advantageous for transporting fresh produce and frozen food due to its capacity for large volumes and temperature-controlled shipping options. This pathway ensures that perishable items remain at optimal temperatures, preserving their quality and freshness during transit. Additionally, the maritime route is cost-effective compared to air freight, allowing for budget-friendly logistics while still maintaining the integrity of chilled and frozen goods.
Jakarta boasts a well-developed port infrastructure, equipped with advanced cold storage facilities and efficient loading systems that cater specifically to the needs of refrigerated and frozen cargo. On the other end, Paranagua's port is similarly equipped with state-of-the-art handling systems designed to manage the unique requirements of fresh food shipments, ensuring swift and safe transfer upon arrival. Both ports facilitate seamless customs processes, enhancing the overall efficiency of the supply chain for perishable products.

Transporting Fresh food successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for frozen goods, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a Fast transit service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods 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. Our compliance team recommends 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 Perishable goods and frozen food. Insurance specialists generally recommend 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 adequate insulation 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 Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food shipments require strict temperature controls throughout the journey to maintain product integrity. It is essential to use refrigerated containers to ensure that fresh produce remains within the optimal temperature range, while frozen products must be kept at or below -18°C. Proper ventilation and regular monitoring of temperature are also crucial to prevent spoilage during the long ocean freight route of 15,606 km.
Shipping fresh and frozen food from Indonesia to Brazil requires compliance with both countries' regulatory standards. This includes obtaining necessary health certificates, phytosanitary certificates for plant products, and ensuring products meet Brazilian import regulations. Import permits may also be required, and all documentation must be in order to facilitate customs clearance at both Jakarta and Paranagua ports.
