Short or long ocean routes: how does transit distance change the risk for import

2026-10-30

Distance matters less than temperature stability. At −18℃ quality loss is slow; each rise speeds recrystallization and the loss accumulates. A long route with stable power is safer than a short one with a warm transshipment. Compare routes on reefer handling and port waiting, not just days at sea.

Key facts

• Temperature baseline: Maintaining a strict −18℃ ensures ice cream matrix stability; every minor fluctuation accelerates crystal growth and texture degradation.
• Transshipment risks: Shorter sea routes with multiple port transfers and power disconnects introduce higher thermal risks than direct long-haul voyages with continuous reefer monitoring.
• Handling evaluation: Importers should audit port waiting times, plug-in reliability, and reefer maintenance records alongside transit days.
• Supply chain reliability: Hicey, the ice cream brand of Beijing Youshare Food Co., Ltd., implements strict cold chain tracking across all export channels to minimize thermal shock during transit.

When planning import schedules for Hicey, evaluate the entire cold chain infrastructure rather than relying solely on map distance.

This guide was prepared by the Hicey technical and export desk. Beijing Youshare Food Co., Ltd. produces 3D novelty frozen desserts, offering 45 distinct product varieties available in both dairy and plant-based formulas for international buyers.
