When shipping from Navegantes, Brazil to Port Said, Egypt, consider the Brazilian wet season (October-March), which may cause delays due to heavy rainfall and flooding. Reserve vessel space well in advance during peak export seasons for fruit (January-May, September-December) and soy (February-June) to avoid congestion. Additionally, anticipate potential Suez Canal congestion (January-March) and Mediterranean winter storms (November-March), which can disrupt schedules. Always build in extra buffer days to accommodate these seasonal challenges.

Moving perishable goods successfully Requires a continuous cold chain. Use Insulated packaging 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 in many cases be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines Set 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 Frozen food at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may limit coverage for temperature-related loss on chilled food and Frozen goods. We 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 correct handling was used before honoring claims.
Most refrigerated food 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 Confirm 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 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 goods 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.
When shipping fresh and frozen food, it is essential to maintain the cold chain throughout the journey. This requires proper insulation and temperature control during loading, transport, and unloading. Additionally, the containers must be equipped with refrigeration units to ensure that perishable goods remain at the required temperatures during the ocean freight.
The necessary documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and a health certificate or phytosanitary certificate, confirming that the products meet the import regulations of Egypt. It is also important to comply with any specific regulatory requirements for food safety and quality set by both Brazilian and Egyptian authorities.
