EMIRATES SKYCARGO has teamed up with a leading US research institute to develop a new product for the shipment of temperaturesensitive cargo. It is a low-cost, light weight, breathable and reusable protective 'White Cover' designed to shield these shipments from heat during door-to-door transport. The airline is piloting the system with perishables and pharmaceutical shippers trading throughout its worldwide network. "This is the first time this unique type of protection which completely encloses the shipment has been used for the airfreight of temperature sensitive goods," said Therese Puetz, manager cargo business development & projects. The cover resists air and water penetration while enabling trapped moisture to escape – making it ideal for 'living' food and flower products, while its low cost has made it popular with shippers of pharmaceuticals, especially room temperature pharmaceuticals. "It works on the principle of solar radiation and offers significant thermal protection," said Puetz. "It also allows cooling of the shipment during transport and cold storage operations."
