In a bid to help reduce costly compensation claims and minimize the potential loss which can occur when transporting chilled and frozen foodstuffs, independent marine survey and consultancy, BMT De Beer, has published a complete set of guidelines for the reefer sector. Based on a typical 40ft container, the value of such goods, including shellfish can reach a staggering 400,000 Euros. Titled âBMT De Beerâs Consolidated Manual on Storage and Transport of Chilled and Frozen Foodstuffsâ this guide provides invaluable information for those involved in the transportation of this refrigerated cargo. After a general introduction on transport and controlled atmospheric conditions, the manual focuses on specific topics such as meat (chilled and frozen), fish and poultry.
