When shipping from Sihanoukville, Cambodia to Montevideo, Uruguay, prepare for significant delays due to the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November) and the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November). Add buffer days to schedules and confirm vessel space well in advance, especially during peak export periods (July-October). Monitor weather conditions closely, as heavy rains can disrupt port operations and increase transit times. Consider potential congestion at South American ports during fruit and soy export peaks (January-May, February-June) to ensure timely deliveries.

Transporting perishable goods successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for Frozen food, 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 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 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 chilled food 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 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. Chilled food 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 Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires temperature-controlled containers to maintain the integrity of the products during the 16,621 km ocean freight journey. It is essential to ensure that the containers are pre-cooled before loading and monitored throughout transit to avoid spoilage.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Cambodian export regulations and Uruguayan import regulations, which include obtaining the necessary health certifications, ensuring adherence to food safety standards, and completing customs documentation specific to food products.
