Discussing the effects of cold chain logistics, John O’Grady, Manager Authorisations & Standards, Operations & Delivery – Etihad Cargo explains, “One of the immediate challenges in cold chain storage and transportation is maintaining precise and consistent temperature control, as any deviation can compromise product integrity. Adequate and well-maintained infrastructure, facilities, and equipment are essential to ensure refrigerated storage facilities operate within the required temperature ranges.”
He adds that, “Handling processes must minimise temperature deviations during loading, unloading, and transfer operations. Adherence to international, national, and local regulations regarding temperature control and storage is crucial. Etihad Cargo addresses these challenges through its PharmaLife and FreshForward products, which provide tailored solutions for temperature-sensitive commodities.” PharmaLife handles temperatures from -80 to 25 degrees Celsius using leased active and hybrid containers, while FreshForward offers expedited handling, priority dispatch, and robust contingency processes.
