‘Ferrying cargo in summers requires careful handling’



Transporting sensitive cargo during summer demands planning and execution to protect it from high temperatures, Sijo Joseph Philip, Senior Manager, Orient Cargo, said. “Proper packaging with insulated materials and thermal blankets maintains the cargo’s internal temperature, while ensuring thermal resistance and moisture protection. Implementing temperature monitoring systems enables real-time tracking and intervention if needed. Close collaboration with airlines, including clear instructions for handling and storage, minimizes risks. Thorough planning, packaging, monitoring, and collaboration are vital for successful transportation. Maintaining stringent quality control ensures cargo integrity, ensuring successful delivery despite challenging conditions,” he added. The logistics industry experiences adjustments to meet the heightened demand across various sectors such as retail, tourism, and agriculture. This surge in demand necessitates expanding operations to accommodate the increased volumes of goods being transported. With rising temperatures, there is a heightened emphasis on transporting temperature-sensitive items like fresh produce and pharmaceuticals.
