The route from Savannah to Port Said is highly advantageous for transporting chilled and frozen food products, ensuring optimal temperature control throughout the journey. This ocean route allows for the efficient movement of fresh produce, minimizing the risk of spoilage and maintaining quality. Additionally, the extensive maritime network offers reliable shipping schedules, which is crucial for perishable goods that require timely delivery. Overall, this pathway supports the integrity of refrigerated food items, catering to the demands of international markets.
Savannah's port facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art cold storage capabilities, allowing for the secure handling of fresh and frozen items prior to departure. The infrastructure includes specialized refrigerated containers and efficient loading systems designed to preserve product quality. Upon arrival in Port Said, the port is well-prepared with advanced refrigeration systems and logistics services, ensuring a seamless transition for chilled food products into local distribution channels. This combination of infrastructure at both ends facilitates a smooth supply chain for temperature-sensitive goods.

When shipping from Savannah to Port Said, expect potential disruptions due to the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) and North Atlantic Winter Storms (November-March). Add buffer days to your transit plans and secure flexible berthing windows to accommodate weather-related delays. During peak retail periods like Black Friday and Christmas (mid-November to early December), ensure vessel space well in advance to avoid congestion. Additionally, monitor Suez Canal congestion risks (January-March) and adjust schedules accordingly to maintain reliability.

Transporting perishable goods successfully demands 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 temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods can in many cases 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. 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 restrict 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 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 Reefer cargo 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 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.
Fresh & Frozen Food requires temperature-controlled containers to maintain appropriate conditions during the 10,084 km ocean journey. It is essential to monitor temperatures continuously to prevent spoilage, and proper loading techniques should be employed to ensure airflow and avoid damage to the products.
Shipments of Fresh & Frozen Food from the United States to Egypt must comply with both U.S. export regulations and Egyptian import requirements, including obtaining necessary health certificates, permits, and adhering to food safety standards established by the Egyptian authorities.
