If only one temperature setpoint is available, most logistics providers recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food requires strict temperature control during ocean transport to maintain quality. Containers must be equipped with refrigeration units and monitored throughout the journey to prevent spoilage. Additionally, proper loading techniques should be used to ensure airflow and prevent damage to the products.
