01
Equipment fit
Confirm a suitable refrigerated unit and route before accepting the movement.
Owned reefer fleet / sensitive cargo
Reefer fleet built around your cargo.
Skystar's reefer fleet gives temperature-sensitive shipments a controlled equipment option. We plan the settings, handoffs and monitoring around the product's requirements—not a one-size-fits-all temperature promise.

What control involves
A reefer is only part of the cold chain.
Cargo condition also depends on preparation, packaging, correct settings, powered transfers and a clear response if readings move outside the agreed range. We put those decisions into the shipment plan.
02
Setpoint planning
Match the operating range to the product and shipping instructions.
03
Monitoring
Agree what temperature data is available and how exceptions will be handled.
04
Handoffs
Coordinate loading, port and destination transitions within the confirmed scope.
Product-led planning
The product defines the temperature.
Some pharmaceutical cargo is planned within a 15°C to 25°C controlled-room-temperature range. Other products need different conditions. We use the shipper's product instructions to assess the required setpoint, permitted excursions and handling plan.

How a movement takes shape
Cold-chain continuity is planned, then checked.
From the first product brief to the destination handoff, each stage needs an agreed owner and a practical check.
- 01
Set the brief
Share the commodity, required temperature range, loading point, destination and delivery timing.
- 02
Confirm the equipment
We assess reefer availability, route acceptance, power needs and the agreed operating settings.
- 03
Plan each handoff
Pre-cooling, loading, terminal transfer and destination handling are aligned with the booking scope.
- 04
Review the movement
Temperature records and exceptions are reviewed according to the monitoring arrangement agreed for the shipment.
Practical answers
Reefer questions, answered.
What cargo can move in a reefer?
Reefers can serve cargo with defined temperature needs, including selected pharmaceuticals and other sensitive goods. Suitability depends on the commodity, packaging, route and required conditions.
Is every shipment kept between 15°C and 25°C?
No. That range is relevant to certain controlled-room-temperature pharmaceutical shipments. The target range and any excursion limits are set for each product before the booking is confirmed.
Does a reefer guarantee zero temperature variation?
No. Equipment, handling and external conditions must be managed carefully. We agree on setpoints, monitoring and an escalation plan for the shipment rather than promise that no excursion is possible.
What information helps you prepare a quote?
Send the commodity, origin, destination, required range, cargo volume, packaging, ready date and any monitoring or documentation requirements.
