Refrigeration Cycle Evidence Disputes Cargo Insurance Claim: A Case Study

It should be noted that the high temperature record on days 57-58 did not continuously exceed 24 hours. A brief trough during this period saw the temperature drop below the set temperature (-25 degrees Celsius). Considering the ambient temperature at that time, this suggests the reefer container underwent at least one normal refrigeration cycle. Therefore, based on this record, the refrigeration equipment of the reefer container did not remain non-operational for more than 24 hours. Consequently, the evidence relied upon by the opposing party to support their insurance liability claim is insufficient. Based on this point alone, we should not support the cargo insurance company's recovery claim against us.
