Reefer Container Temperature Fluctuations During Transfers: Understanding Standard Practices

As mentioned earlier, the occurrence of short-term temperature exceeding the pre-set temperature inside the reefer container could be attributed to the transfers of the container. This aligns with the standard practice of refrigerated reefer container transportation. While maintaining a consistent temperature is crucial, temporary fluctuations can occur during transfers due to factors like opening and closing of doors, changes in ambient temperature, and handling procedures. Considering the information provided, we are of the opinion that our principal has not breached the contract in terms of ensuring temperature control. It's important to differentiate between these temporary fluctuations and sustained temperature deviations that might indicate a failure to maintain the agreed-upon temperature range.
