<UTOPIA OF LOGISTICS

Perishable food commodities are requiring refrigeration, either chilling or freezing, to extend their self-life. Without refrigeration, perishable commodities will be subjected to rapid decay or deterioration from micro-organisms that may pose risk to health if consumed. Perishable food commodities have a few categories like wet cargo, vegetable product, live animals for human consumption, beer and etc.

Wet cargo can be defined as goods which may yield moisture or contains great quantity of liquid due to their nature, such as fresh fish, fruits, meat, sea food, etc.

Vegetable products are considered as horticultural products too, as these products are grown from plants through gardening.

Perishable shipments must comply with the following requirements:

Wet cargo (seafood, meat, etc.) shall be pack only in water-tight (sealed) and resistant packaging, which are unlikely to spill or leak, and would not develop any bad odour.

Vegetables products (fruits, vegetables, etc.) shall be pack in a packaging that can withstand, without collapsing, and can stack at a height of at least 3 metres high. Performance test for this type of packaging should be carried out in a conditioned environment of 22 to 24 °C and a relative humidity of 75 to 80% with a load equivalent to the total weight of identical packages which may be stacked on it during the carriage up to height of 3 metres.

Live animals for human consumption (lobsters, shrimps, prawns, etc.) must be place in containers that meet the requirements of IATA’s Live Animals Regulations. Hence these live animals can maintain their freshness while arriving their destinations.
