End-to-end cold chain solutions for Colombian avocados

by

Avocados face a demanding journey from Colombia’s farms to international markets. With every touchpoint comes the challenge of preserving freshness and quality. Overcoming these hurdles requires more than effort. It requires the right cold chain solutions, the right expertise, and a dedication to delivering on time and in good condition.

By combining global expertise with local knowledge, Maersk aims to support Colombian exporters in managing cold chain challenges.

Maersk’s cold chain offering includes domestic refrigerated trucking across Latin America, mobile depots for cleaning and repairing refrigerated equipment before new cargo is loaded, and cold storage facilities that provide container parking as well as cross-docking, blast chilling, repacking, and loading and unloading services. The company also offers integrated air freight services to support regional and international cold chain shipments.

The Captain Peter™ digital visibility assistant monitors refrigerated cargo during transit and provides notifications if container temperature or humidity deviates from the required settings.

Controlled Atmosphere containers
Controlled Atmosphere containers regulate oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, temperature and humidity to help extend shelf life and preserve product quality.

Maersk’s cold chain specialists will attend Territorio Aguacate 2026 from 4 to 5 November to discuss avocado logistics solutions.
