Emirates launches a new cool chain offering to the air freight market
Designed as an intermediate temperature control solution: Emirates Sky Cargo’s innovative “White Container” fills a gap in the cool chain space
Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Emirates, has launched an internally developed and cost effective LD3 container that keeps temperature sensitive cargo cool when transported on the ground and in the air.
Called the “White Container”, it’s the latest addition to Emirates SkyCargo’s Cool Chain portfolio. It has been designed specifically as an intermediate temperature control solution which is ideal for generic healthcare products and food perishables.
The inside of the White Container is coated with thermal insulators, which prevents the transfer of outside heat into the container, and uses coolant trays allowing handlers to add or replenish dry ice or coolants without disturbing the packaging. It can be used for shipments requiring temperatures between 2°C – 8°C and 5°C – 25°C and is a reliable solution for time and temperature sensitive cargo that do not fall into the very high sensitive category.
“After two years of intensive research and development by our team, we are introducing a new cool chain offering to the air freight market. The ‘White Container’ is an affordable option and does not replace Emirates SkyCargo’s high-end Cool Chain Premium solution. Instead it offers an intermediate solution that is cost effective for commodities, such as generic healthcare products and food perishables. It’s also environmentally friendly and meets all regulatory requirements,” says Moaza Al Falahi, Emirates Vice President Cargo Product Development and Local Affairs.
“This in-house developed solution is simple but efficient, and has no backhaul issues. We are the only air cargo operator to offer this specific solution, and along with our other offerings such as active temperature controlled containers, warehouses, cool dollies and white covers, we are at the forefront in offering a comprehensive portfolio of cool chain solutions for all types of time and temperature sensitive cargo,” she adds.
