Temperature and humidity changes in domestic shipping containers

Temperature and Humidity Changes in Domestic Sea Freight Containers

The changes in temperature and humidity inside domestic sea freight containers significantly impact the quality of goods during transport, just like external forces such as swaying, impact, and vibration. Some goods may melt or deteriorate at high temperatures, while others may freeze at low temperatures or become moldy in high humidity. These physical and chemical changes can lead to cargo damage. For domestic sea freight container transport, special attention must be paid to cargo damage caused by water droplets. Since most general cargo containers are sealed, their internal condition cannot be seen or inspected during transit. Unlike the holds of conventional cargo ships, temperature and humidity control via air conditioning or mechanical ventilation systems is not possible. Especially in "door-to-door" transport, where goods are not transshipped en route, stricter conditions for the cargo inside the container are required compared to traditional cargo ship transport. Once cargo inside the container gets damp, it can not only cause packaging to rust but also lead to water damage and loss. For goods packed in corrugated cardboard boxes, moisture immediately reduces the strength of the packaging material, potentially causing the stack to collapse. Therefore, it is essential to understand the patterns of temperature and humidity changes inside containers for container shipping.

Suggestions for Container Temperature and Humidity Control

On equatorial routes, the temperature inside the container can reach over 50°C with humidity near 100%. Large temperature differences between day and night can cause condensation. It is recommended to use desiccants, moisture-proof packaging, and choose refrigerated containers for temperature-controlled cargo when necessary.

Impact of Temperature and Humidity on Different Goods

Electronic Products: High humidity can cause oxidation and corrosion of circuit boards. Use moisture-proof packaging and desiccants.

Paper Products: Moisture reduces strength and causes deformation. Wrap with waterproof materials.

Food: Changes in temperature and humidity can lead to mold and spoilage. Refrigerated containers precisely control temperature and humidity.

Textiles: High humidity may cause mold and discoloration. Maintain ventilation and dryness.
