Drayage for Frozen Food Containers at Port Everglades

Drayage for Frozen Food Containers at Port Everglades

Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale handles substantial volumes of frozen food imports — seafood, frozen vegetables, prepared meals, and ice cream from around the world. These reefer containers require specialized cold chain drayage to maintain sub-zero temperatures throughout transport.

Reefer Container Requirements

Frozen food containers must maintain temperatures of -10°F to 0°F during the entire drayage leg. This requires genset-equipped chassis to power the container’s refrigeration unit during transport. Genset fuel consumption, maintenance, and availability are all factors in reefer drayage cost and reliability.

FSMA Compliance

Under the FDA’s Food Safety Modernization Act, carriers transporting food must follow sanitary transportation rules — clean equipment, temperature monitoring, and trained drivers. Temperature-sensitive cargo requires documented cold chain records from port to delivery.
