Delivery of temperature-sensitive cargo from Vietnam to Kazakhstan

Reefer chain integrity | Transshipment via Shekou | 5 days cold storage | 24 days total transit

We shipped a temperature-sensitive cargo from Vietnam to Kazakhstan with a transshipment in Shekou, China. The priority was simple and non-negotiable: maintain strict temperature control across every handover — even during national holidays.

• Mode: sea + cold storage + road (reefer trucks)

• Transshipment hub: Shekou (China)

• Sea leg: departed Aug 26 → arrived Sep 3

• Risk factor: national holidays in China

• Mitigation: 5 days of cold storage to avoid delays and protect quality

• Reefer handovers:

  • unloaded from reefer container and transferred to a refrigerated truck for the overland leg to Alashankou

  • reloaded into a new refrigerated truck at the Alashankou border to keep compliance and temperature continuity

• Total transit time: 24 days (sea + storage + border + road delivery)

International logistics isn’t always about moving faster — sometimes it’s about thinking two steps ahead so every degree, every transfer, and every day stays under control.

Result: temperature integrity maintained, no disruption despite holidays, delivery completed on time.
