    The document discusses factors that can lead to partial thawing of frozen cargo during transport, such as warm container walls, lack of refrigeration, and high ambient temperatures. It provides recommendations for proper stowage of frozen cargo to prevent thawing, including stacking cargo in a solid block to allow air to circulate and avoiding overly tight fits that could cause hot spots. Corrugated wall containers are better able to prevent thawing than flat wall containers if cargo is stowed too tightly.

    CAUSES OF PARTIAL THAWING

    Factors contributing to partial thawing of frozen product (e.g. cooked shrimp) load against the side walls

    Cargoes being stuffed into warm walls containers Lack of proper cold chain e.g. no or intermittent power from cold storage to terminal Load in high ambient conditions (e.g. Thailand, Indonesia & India) Cargoes may not be pre-cooled to -18C Partial loading (common in Asia) Overly tight stowage in flat walls container

    HEAT SOURCES
    1. Through the body 2. Through the rear door 3. Warm Products 4. Door Seal

    FROZEN CARGOES STOWAGE


    Frozen Cargo should always be:
    stacked as a solid block, leaving no space between packages or pallets allow air to circulate around the periphery of the load. It is necessary to ensure air can circulate under, over and to each side & end of the stow. For stowage of produce in containers with flat sided walls, slightly loose stowage is necessary to facilitate air circulation as overly tight fit cartons across the space may give rise to hot spot and cause problems

    This stowage pattern allows refrigerated air to circulate evenly around the cargo and ensures that heat penetrating the container does not come into contact with the load.

    SUMMARY OF GOOD LOADING PRACTICES


    Recommendations to avert side walls defrosting of cargoes
    Pre-cooling of containers to carrying temperature for loading in proper cold tunnel facility (e.g. remove heat from the side walls) Ensure proper cold chain i.e. no or minimum power interruption Ensure cargoes are pre-cooled to -18oC or below Use lower carriage temperature e.g. -25oC instead of -18oC especially loading at high ambient conditions Avoid partial loading or leaving containers side walls with direct heat source for prolong period of time Ensure no overly tight stowage situation in flat walls container
