When shipping from Navegantes, Brazil to Laem Chabang, Thailand, consider heavy rainfall and port congestion during Brazil's wet season (October-March) by building in extra buffer days. Secure vessel space well in advance during peak export periods for fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy (February-June) to avoid tight schedules. Be aware of potential disruptions from cyclones in the South Atlantic (November-April) and plan for extended transit times during Southeast Asia's monsoon season (May-November). Coordinate carriers for real-time updates to mitigate delays.

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 Reefer cargo.
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 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 beverages should stay between 0–4°C, while many frozen goods 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 goods 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 kept at specific temperature ranges throughout the journey to maintain quality. Proper insulation and refrigeration systems are essential during ocean freight to prevent spoilage. Additionally, packaging must be robust to withstand potential impacts during transit.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food require compliance with both Brazilian export regulations and Thai import regulations, including health and safety certifications. Import permits from Thai authorities, as well as phytosanitary and veterinary certificates, may be necessary to ensure that the products meet Thai standards.
