In June 2023, a company in Hong Kong requested a shipment of Tommy Atkins mangoes from a Mexican agricultural exporter. The order consisted of a 40-foot refrigerated container with 20 pallets.
At that time, the mango season was ending, and the available fruit had high Brix levels, significantly reducing shelf life. A refrigerated container specified by the Hong Kong client was loaded on June 15 with a set point of 10°C and shipped to port, utilizing Cold Wind System technology.
The ship arrived in Hong Kong on July 16 but did not unload, moving to another port before returning to Hong Kong on July 25. The container was finally delivered to the importer on August 1—47 days after loading.
Both the Hong Kong client and the Mexican exporter were understandably concerned about the lengthy transit time. The exporter hired a third-party inspection service to assess the shipment’s quality. The results were excellent. The client reported the mangoes were selling well, with only a few boxes showing slight ripening. They expressed satisfaction with the successful shipment and indicated plans for future collaboration.
The exporter, sharing their first international sale success, thanked us for our support and confirmed plans to use Cold Wind System technology for all shipments in the next mango season.
