Dry and refrigerated container logistics for food, beverage and seafood.

Start with the product and its receiving window. SP connects dry or reefer container transport, powered arrangements, staging and the handoff to distributors, warehouses or cold-storage facilities.

Cargo in focus

The freight and the receiving plan.

  • Seafood and temperature-sensitive products
  • Fruit
  • Rice
  • Wine
  • Dry and refrigerated food products

The product’s temperature instructions

Dry rice, wine, fresh fruit and seafood do not share one temperature arrangement. Provide the commodity, required instructions and supplied equipment so the transportation and receiving plan reflects the actual product.

Reefer Drayage and Genset Support

Gensets, fueling and planned checks

Connect powered transport and any staging interval with genset supply, fueling and scheduled manual checks or logs. Specify reporting needs; continuous remote monitoring is a separate capability request rather than an automatic feature.

Reefer Drayage and Genset Support

The cold-storage or distributor handoff

Bring the receiving appointment and cargo-handling instructions into the pickup plan. If unloading or cold storage is needed, connect the suitable facility with the next truck movement and its temperature requirements.

Cold-Storage Coordination
Planning example

Seafood needs a coordinated cold-storage handoff

Situation
A refrigerated seafood container needs powered transportation and an appointment at a cold-storage facility.
What needs to be arranged
Temperature instructions, equipment, the powered interval and the receiving window in one plan.
Services to consider
Connect genset arrangements, requested fueling and manual checks with pickup, delivery and the cold-storage receiving team.
What matters for this shipment
Keep transportation and receiving arrangements aligned with the product’s temperature requirements.
Prepare your request

The details that shape your shipment plan.

Provide the commodity, container type, temperature instructions, genset arrangements, powered-staging needs and requested checks or fueling. Add release, the receiving slot, unloading or transfer requirements and the next destination. Identify dry shipments as dry freight rather than assuming reefer service is required.

Importers, distributors & cargo owners

Plan container pickup, receiving appointments and repeat deliveries with a team that stays involved.

Forwarders, NVOCCs, brokers & 3PLs

Work directly with a local carrier that understands the commitments you make to your customers.
