Transitex has a status and a solid reputation for refrigerated products transport. We can list, as an example of our perishable cargo, fruits, vegetables, fish and dairy products. In 2018 we transported over 30,000 TEUs of reefer cargo by sea, approximately one third of our total containerized cargo that year.
The logistics operation inherent to the transport of temperature sensitive products requires experienced professionals who know your cargo and can offer you transit times, storage and transportation to the final destination appropriate to the requirements of each product. Our team’s know how regarding the ideal temperature, humidity and ventilation, combined with the technology use ensures efficient cargo transportation.
Our service includes much more than transportation: from customs clearance, choosing insurance, to contacting the agencies that regulate imports and exports in each country, we manage the entire operation.
