We’ve changed the date for our next event, Cool Logistics Middle East. This one-day online seminar takes place 22 September 2021. We’re busy taking registrations for this event so please register today to ensure you can join us using this link here. 

With so much happening in the cold chain and perishable cargoes market, we’ve selected the stories that really caught our eye this month that you might have missed.

Problems in the perishable cargo supply chain continue: lack of reefer containers or containers in the wrong place and sadly, perishables left to rot due to insufficient lorry drivers make this a challenging time for exporters. And now the ongoing crisis at the Port of Yantian will impact reefer trade for months with bigger implications than the recent Suez Canal blockage. 

Changes taking place in the market include consolidation and acquisition, as leading logistics companies look to expand their market footprint. And with decarbonisation and sustainability high on the ‘to do’ list for food producers, exporters and carriers, the cold chain market has never been so ‘hot’ as it is now.

As well as preparing for Cool Logistics Middle East, we are pleased to announce speakers for our flagship annual conference and exhibition, Cool Logistics Global, 19 – 20 October 2021. Register your interest here and we will keep you updated.
