• Ventilation: Ducts and fans distribute cold air evenly.
• Atmospheric Control: Regulation of humidity and gases for delicate goods like fruit.

?? Advantages

• Flexibility: Transportable by ship, train, and truck.
• Extension of Shelf Life: Maintains the cold chain throughout the journey.
• Thermal Segmentation: Zones at different temperatures for mixed loads.
• Resistance: Suitable for extreme weather conditions.

?? Disadvantages

• Partial Shipments: Difficulties in grouping similar goods.
• Maintenance: Requires periodic checks.
• Internal Space: Reduced compared to standard containers.

?? Best Practices

• Pre-cooling: Cool the load before loading.
