Solid Experience

With nearly 60 years of experience in shipping, we offer bespoke solutions for your evolving logistics needs and transportation of fresh produce around the world.

How Do We Do It?

It’s a long journey for your perishable goods, and it’s important to slow down your produce’s ripening process so that they can arrive fresh at their final destination.

Here’s how we do it:

Cold Treatment

This is a chemical-free method to preserve the condition of your produce and a regulatory requirement to eliminate pests from entering importing countries through reefer shipments.

  • Sensor probes are placed in the core of the fruit to monitor its temperature.
  • PIL can help you comply with regulatory requirements.

Controlled Atmosphere (CA)

Our young fleet of reefers are equipped with the latest Active Controlled Atmosphere technology (Carrier Transicold’s EverFRESH® and DAIKIN Active CA) that maintains the ideal conditions for your produce during transportation.

This helps to extend the shelf life of your produce, ensuring their best quality and maximum freshness!

  • Optimizes the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide inside reefers, slowing the ripening of the produce inside.
  • Generates high-purity nitrogen to quickly displace oxygen responsible for ripening

"We are very pleased that the avocadoes from Fremantle, Australia arrived in Singapore fresh and in optimum condition in our CA reefer containers. This is our first such shipment into Singapore, and it reaffirms PIL's commitment in meeting the needs of our customers for quality reefer services. With this new range of CA reefer containers, PIL has expanded our capability to transport fresh produce within our network."

Cherries

In December 2022, PIL launched our first Cherry Express service to deliver Chilean cherries to meet the rising demand in Asia!

This Cherry Express service is through our weekly West Coast South America 6 (WS6) service that links Central and South America (Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Peru, Chile) to China and South Korea.

With this Cherry Express service, freshly-harvested cherries from Chile can now reach China in excellent condition!
