Refrigerated Container Shipping Services to Cambodia
Cold Chain Freight from Vietnam to Cambodia
Vietnam and Cambodia, located on the Indochinese Peninsula, have a close historical and cultural connection. With the joint efforts of both governments, the trade between these two countries has significantly developed and improved. Shipping cold cargo to Cambodia requires strict handling standards, making it crucial to a suitable logistics provider.
Vietnam-Cambodia Trade Relations
Thanks to improved transportation systems and preferential trade and tariff agreements, the economic and cultural exchange between Vietnam and Cambodia has grown deeper, extending beyond their borders to include other nations. While Cambodia faces some restrictions regarding vehicles permitted to operate across both territories, most goods are transshipped at the border. However, this situation is steadily improving due to governmental efforts.
Many Cambodian businesses prefer to export and import goods via Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) ports rather than using Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville ports. The advantages include better road infrastructure, simplified transit procedures, and more frequent shipping schedules at HCMC ports.
With years of experience and an office in Phnom Penh, Thai Tuan Logistics is well-equipped to handle all transportation needs, including direct exports, imports, and transshipment between Vietnam and Cambodia.
Specifications of Refrigerated Containers for Cold Cargo Shipping to Cambodia
❖ Refrigerated Container Design
- Unlike regular containers, refrigerated containers are made with robust stainless steel components for walls, floors, and roofs, ensuring durability.
- The floor is designed with a wave pattern to enhance load-bearing capacity.
- A layer of Polyurethane (PU) insulation stabilizes the internal temperature and minimizes heat loss to the external environment.
- The exterior is made of white-coated steel to reflect sunlight and maintain internal temperature stability.
❖ Cooling System Integration
- Refrigerated containers are equipped with cooling systems embedded at the rear to ensure safe and uninterrupted operation during transportation and cargo handling.
- These containers are suitable for transporting perishable goods such as fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood, frozen foods, and even live animals in hibernation.
Key Considerations Before Booking Refrigerated Cargo to Cambodia
❖ Temperature Settings (Temp)
- Refrigerated containers have a temperature range from -30°C to +30°C, controlled by the cooling system at the rear. Accurate temperature settings are crucial to preserve cargo quality.
- For instance, bananas require 3–4°C, fresh coconuts need 5°C, while meat and seafood should be stored below 0°C. Incorrect temperature settings can reduce product quality or cause damage.
❖ Ventilation Settings (Vent)
- Ventilation allows fresh air circulation inside the container, ensuring uniform temperature distribution and removing harmful gases emitted by the goods.
- Proper ventilation prevents condensation inside the container, which could otherwise drip onto goods and compromise their quality.
- Example: Fruits like bananas, mangoes, and dragon fruit release acetylene (C2H2), which accelerates ripening. Proper ventilation mitigates this effect.
❖ Pre-Cooling the Container at the Yard (CY)
- Containers must be pre-cooled at the container yard before being transported to the warehouse.
- This is particularly important for maintaining low or sub-zero temperatures during the journey from the depot to the warehouse, minimizing heat loss and preserving cargo quality.
