When shipping from Savannah to Port Klang, anticipate significant disruptions due to the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) and North America Winter Storms (December-March). Add buffer days to your schedules and secure flexible routing options to accommodate potential delays. During peak holiday periods, such as Black Friday and Christmas (mid-November to early January), expect tight capacity and longer handling times; prioritize earlier sailings to mitigate rollover risks. Additionally, monitor carriers for real-time updates to navigate weather-related challenges effectively.

Shipping 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 food, 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 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 Exclude 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 Proper packaging was used before honoring claims.
Most Chilled 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 produce 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 Reefer cargo shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires temperature-controlled containers to maintain product quality. This route necessitates refrigerated (reefer) containers that can maintain specific temperature ranges, with regular monitoring during transit to prevent spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both U.S. export regulations and Malaysian import regulations, including obtaining necessary permits, adhering to food safety standards, and ensuring proper documentation such as health certificates and customs declarations.
