Temperature-Sensitive Goods
The most dangerous products, such as explosives, flammable liquids and organic peroxides require storage at temperatures that are optimal. Temperature fluctuations can alter their stability, and could cause a fire or release toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.
Sometimes these fluctuations can be difficult to identify, especially in the middle of a busy day. This is why it's essential that container terminals utilize an instrument that provides real-time temperature monitoring across all reefer containers inside their facility. This allows staff to respond quickly in the event of any anomalies and to avoid any potential risks.
