As the Australian summer heat kicks in, it becomes crucial to ensure that perishable goods and palletised freight are delivered safely and on time. From fresh produce to sensitive items, the logistics of transporting goods during these hotter months require meticulous planning and specialised equipment. To move perishable goods like fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meats through the peak of summer, we rely on our fleet of refrigerated trucks to keep everything cool and fresh. While palletised freight is generally more resilient, sensitive items, such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, and cosmetics, may also require temperature-controlled care. With our climate-controlled facilities at the Cobram depot, we can reduce any heat-related risks during transportation. We understand that summer also brings increased holiday traffic. We plan our routes strategically to ensure quicker, more efficient deliveries. Need help moving your summer cargo? Give us a call–we're ready to assist with all your transport needs. . . . #HicksTransportGroup #Logistics #AustraliaLogistics #Freight #FreightAustralia #Distribution #Warehouse #MelbourneWarehouse #Interstate #Australiawide #SummerCargo #SummerDelivery #PerishableGoods #Reefers #PalletisedFreight

Rising Costs of Airfreight for South American Fruit Exports to Europe✈️ Shipping fruit by air from South America to Europe is becoming more expensive, and one key reason is the spike in fuel costs. Aviation fuel prices have surged in 2024, significantly impacting the cost of airfreight for perishable goods like fruits. Additionally, a shortage of pallet materials and increased demand for cargo space is driving prices up further. This combination of factors makes it harder for exporters to maintain competitive pricing while ensuring that fruits like mangos and avocados reach European markets fresh. 🌍✈️🍈 #fruitIndustry #airfreight #Logistics #supplychain

Have you ever marvelled at how countries far from the sea savour fresh seafood or how exotic fruits and vegetables reach distant markets? The answer lies in the intricate world of #perishables #logistics, a specialised field that ensures the safe and timely delivery of goods with short shelf lives. Perishable items, such as meat, fish, dairy, and produce, are susceptible to temperature and time, with some lasting only 1–2 days without proper care. Ensuring their safe transport requires precision at every step: ✅ Cold chain expertise to maintain quality and safety. ✅ Specialised transport like reefer containers, air cargo, and refrigerated trucks. ✅ End-to-end risk management to handle supply chain fluctuations and regulatory changes. This meticulous approach is fuelling the growth of the perishable goods transportation market, which is projected to expand from US$14.2 billion in 2023 to US$22.3 billion by 2030. Take Spinneys, a leading UAE supermarket, for example. When they needed fresh produce shipped from London to the #UAE, they entrusted Kuehne+Nagel to deliver it in just one day. Our team of perishables specialists managed every detail—from product preparation to cold chain storage—ensuring a seamless journey from farm to shelf. For us, it’s all in a day’s work. Whether seafood travels across oceans or produce reaches tables across continents, our customers trust us to handle their perishable goods with care and reliability. This #trust is the foundation of our work, inspiring us to deliver quality at every step. Are you curious about the meticulous process behind this seamless journey?

5 Banana export mistakes... 🍌 that’ll keep your cargo claims in the dumpster. Bananas are the world’s favorite fruit. But some exporters still make the same mistakes that cost them thousands in unrecovered cargo claims. 🔸 Skipping the pre-shipment survey and harvest certificate—proof that your bananas were in sound condition when they left. 🔸Choosing carriers who are always late (55-day transit time, anyone?). 🔸 Forgetting to snap pics of damaged cargo upon arrival. 🔸 Ignoring loss mitigation efforts—no salvage invoice or destruction certificate? No recovery. 🔸 Believing that filing a cargo claim will get you blacklisted by the shipping line. Avoid these pitfalls, and your cargo claims might just be as smooth as your bananas. P.S. I know a lot of Banana exporters are coming to Fruit Attraction Madrid. I’d love to connect with you and exchange more best practices! --- 🙋🏼♀️ Hi!

Are you in Europe and would you like to eat fresh grapes? The fruit exports from South Africa are about to start. And I never realized that the supermarket "fresh" grape can survive that long. Hapag-Lloyd advertises 25 day transit including a transhipment move. MSC will do it bit faster, in 21-day transit time. I always understood the banana supply chain, including forced maturation of the fruit upon arrival at destination, but understanding that the grapes travel nearly as long, if not longer, is something new to me. Live and learn. #coldchain #refrigerated #cargo #fruit #shipping
