Reefer Handling

Refrigerated containers handled to protect the cold chain from receipt through to release.
Reefer Handling

What we handle

Temperature-sensitive cargo does not tolerate delay. Focus CFS handles refrigerated containers with the objective of maintaining the integrity of the cold chain across every step the cargo spends inside the station.

Reefer cargo is prioritised through documentation and clearance because time in the yard is the variable that matters most. Pre-arrival documentation is particularly valuable for this cargo type, since it removes paperwork from the critical path once the unit is on the ground.

Capabilities

4 capabilities covered by this service.

What this service includes.

Refrigerated container handling

Safe and efficient handling of reefer units to protect temperature-sensitive cargo.

Cold chain continuity

Handling is arranged to keep the cargo within its required temperature regime while in the station.

Priority documentation

Documentation is undertaken ahead of arrival so clearance is not the constraint on release.

On-site verification

KEBS and KRA verification is carried out within the facility, avoiding a separate movement.

Process

How it runs, step by step.

Every stage happens inside the same perimeter, with the agencies that release your cargo already on site.

Pre-arrival documentation

Reefer documentation is completed before the vessel arrives to minimise dwell time.

Transfer and connection

Units are transferred from the port and handled on arrival at the station.

Monitoring while in the yard

Units are kept under the conditions the cargo requires for the period they are held.

Verification

Inspection and verification take place on site with the resident agencies.

Priority release

Cleared units are released promptly against a valid gate pass.

On the ground
