MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, a world leader in container shipping, has just launched a game-changing solution for refrigerated and frozen cargo.
Fresh, frozen, flawless. That’s the standard consumers expect, and now it’s easier than ever to deliver.
Demand is growing for refrigerated or ‘reefer’ cargo solutions for temperature-sensitive goods such as fruit, vegetables or seafood. Consumers expect these perishable products to taste great, look perfect and comply with food safety regulations, even if they have been imported from thousands of kilometres away. Certain chemicals and pharmaceuticals also require reefer transportation to maintain their effectiveness and safety. But small temperature fluctuations in transit can have a big impact, so careful monitoring throughout the journey is key.
When container conditions shift, so can quality and safety – fast. That’s why exporters rely on tracking systems such as the new MSC iReefer solution to keep chilled and frozen cargo fresher for longer.
Taking temperature-controlled transport to the next level
Launched in February 2025, MSC iReefer is the most advanced container monitoring system for reefer cargo.
MSC iReefer enables customers to track and monitor shipments 24/7, from anywhere. It provides real-time visibility into position, temperature, humidity and other important factors, helping to optimize efficiency and prevent waste.
