Transmar’s container operations are 365 days a year but at this particular time the Egyptian citrus season is powering the huge interest in our reefer fleet. With so many customers looking for reliable reefer services across the Red Sea into Saudi Arabian and UAE markets, we have produced an in-depth downloadable booklet on citrus and the best methods of packing ready for transportation. You can download the booklet here.

This information is invaluable to exporters because it offers suggestions and information on how to pre-chill fruits (as well as potatoes and onions), pack them and the levels of temperature and oxygen and carbon dioxide levels that are needed to keep fruit exports in perfect conditions. It is a science and Transmar can help exporters to keep their citrus and other fruits in top condition with the right preparations.

Although in the middle of the citrus season, reefers are used all year round and not only for soft fruits: we are moving other foods and snacks as well as an increasing number of pharmaceutical and blood products. As Egypt’s leading container shipping line we know what it takes to make container traffic move and how to ensure our customers’ exports arrive safely and timely to the receiver at their destination. We have the experience, the knowledge and the skills and that is outlined in the reefer container guide we have created for customers.

Our free downloadable booklet is part of our attention to detail and we see ourselves as a real part of your supply chain as a reliable local partner bringing cost-effective solutions that can help to reduce waste during the delivery process. When you hand over your citrus, your food products, pharmaceutical lines or dairy products to Transmar, you are handing over your business and trust to Egypt’s leading container shipping line.
