What is Refrigerated Transport?

Refrigerated transport, also known as cold chain logistics, is the movement of temperature-sensitive goods under controlled conditions to maintain product quality, safety, and compliance.

It is used for chilled, frozen, and pharmaceutical shipments that require consistent temperature control throughout transit.
