When shipping from Vitoria, Brazil to Laem Chabang, Thailand, consider the Brazilian wet season (October-March) and South Atlantic cyclone risk (November-April) by adding buffer days to schedules and steering clear of tight transshipment connections. During peak fruit export seasons (January-May, September-December), expect increased congestion and book vessel space well in advance. Additionally, stay updated on weather conditions during the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-September) to modify transit plans accordingly.

Transporting fresh produce successfully necessitates a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for refrigerated food or dry ice for frozen goods, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a expedited service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as Reefer cargo.
Yes, frozen goods can often be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines impose 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 reefer cargo at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may restrict coverage for temperature-related loss on fresh 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 refrigerated food shipment. 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 check 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, best practice is separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing perishable goods or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food require temperature-controlled containers throughout the journey to maintain quality. Proper insulation and refrigeration systems are essential to prevent spoilage during the 15,815 km ocean freight.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Brazilian export regulations and Thai import regulations, including obtaining necessary health certifications, phytosanitary certificates, and ensuring that the products meet Thailand's food safety standards.
