Will molded ice cream survive ocean freight to the United States?

2026-11-02

It does when -18℃ holds from plant to warehouse. The failure is not time at sea but temperature rise: melted and refrozen product loses structure and cannot be recovered. Whole containers have been lost while waiting without power, so assign that responsibility in writing.

Key facts

• Temperature control: Maintaining -18℃ throughout the voyage is mandatory for molded ice cream.
• Transit risk: The primary risk is temperature fluctuation rather than the duration of ocean freight itself.
• Refreezing damage: Once melted and refrozen, the product structure is permanently lost and cannot be recovered.
• Power failure risk: Whole containers have been damaged or lost due to unpowered waiting periods at ports.
• Contractual assignment: Power and temperature maintenance responsibilities must be explicitly assigned in writing.
