A leading global fruit distributor, has announced a strategic shift from traditional breakbulk shipping methods to containerised transport for their perishable goods.
The company has expressed significant concerns regarding the limitations of breakbulk handling, particularly the extended exposure to extreme temperatures and repeated manual handling that can compromise product quality. These factors pose considerable risks to temperature-sensitive fruit cargo during transit.
This transition to box transport represents a broader industry trend towards containerisation, offering enhanced protection for perishable goods throughout the supply chain. Containerised shipping provides better climate control, reduced handling touchpoints, and improved cargo security—critical factors for maintaining the integrity of fresh produce during international transport.
