In order to help customers continue to expand global seafood trade, Mediterranean Shipping (MSC) is committed to providing customers with fast, efficient and safe end-to-end cold chain transportation solutions.

According to reports, MSC has professional local experts, a large fleet and a global transportation network, which can ensure that seafood goods are taken care of at every stage of transportation.

As an important partner of MSC, DHL Global Forwarding, which belongs to the DHL Group, continues to expand its cooperation with MSC in shipping every year. Especially in terms of China's seafood exports, the volume of frozen cod, frozen tilapia and other seafood products exported from China by the two parties is increasing year by year.

MSC not only ensures DHL's safe, fast and efficient trade transportation, but also provides strong support for DHL to expand its seafood export business.

It is understood that the main challenges faced by cold chain transportation include the following:

High requirements for transportation due to the nature of the goods. Given the perishability and high preservation requirements of seafood products, they have extremely high requirements for the stability, efficiency and safety of logistics and transportation.

Complex international situation. The complexity of the international situation affects the smoothness of shipping channels. For example, the Red Sea crisis forced shipping companies to choose to bypass the Cape of Good Hope, which not only prolonged the transportation time, but also increased the transportation cost.

The cold chain transportation service provided by MSC can not only effectively cope with the challenges in the transportation process, but also is committed to providing high-quality services and solutions to meet the diverse needs of customers.

Specific advantages include:

Global service network: MSC monitor the cargo regularly and frequently from container loading to the final destination. Thanks to its excellent global coverage, MSC can provide end-to-end services to all parts of the world every week and has the ability to cope with various challenges.

Advantageous shipping routes: MSC has opened a number of advantageous shipping routes, such as Silk, Chinook, Pertiwi and Dolphin, connecting China with European, North American and Southeast Asian markets, promoting trade connectivity.

Rich experience in cold chain transportation: MSC cold chain transportation experts understand the importance of maintaining the condition of goods while ensuring that the goods arrive at their destination quickly. Perishable goods require precise temperature control to maintain their high quality. MSC follows four highly standardized control procedures to optimize the cooling process, including cold treatment (CT) and controlled atmosphere (CA).

Adequate cold chain box sources: MSC carries more than 1.9 million standard containers of refrigerated goods each year, providing cold chain transportation services that are both flexible and scalable.
