In the fishing industry, maintaining the right product condition after catch is critical. Once fish are harvested, they begin to degrade quickly if not stored at the correct temperature. Without proper cooling, this deterioration affects quality, shelf life and marketability - resulting in potential losses.
A reliable cold chain is essential. Temperature fluctuations during transport or storage can lead to discolouration and the growth of bacteria. For businesses handling fish and seafood, preventing these issues is a key part of operational success.
Whether based along the coast or operating inland, cold storage forms a vital link between the ocean and the market. It allows fisheries and processors to protect product quality from the time of landing through to distribution.
Refrigerated containers (reefers) help maintain consistent temperatures at every stage. In regions with high ambient temperatures or limited infrastructure, reefers offer a dependable way to preserve product integrity and reduce waste.
Reefers are versatile, portable and well-suited to a variety of locations - from coastal landing sites to inland processing hubs.
Their key benefits include:
As the fishing sector becomes more competitive, product quality and traceability are increasingly under scrutiny. Cold storage is no longer just a supporting tool - it's a business-critical asset. With the right systems in place, fishing operations can meet buyer expectations, reduce waste and improve profitability.
In East Africa, many fisheries and exporters are turning to container-based cold storage because of its durability, mobility and ability to perform reliably under demanding conditions.
