Controlled temperature in LCL transport to Central Asia, the Caucasus and Mongolia
When temperatures soar, maintaining the right conditions for goods becomes a serious challenge. Controlled temperature transport is one of the services Clever Logistics offers for clients shipping to Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Mongolia — whether via the Northern Route or the Middle Corridor.
Positive temperature for LCL cargo? Yes, it’s possible!
In road LCL transport, maintaining a temperature between +2°C and +8°C is possible. Thanks to specialized refrigeration units, even a single pallet can be transported in chilled conditions, just like in a fridge. This is a great option for goods requiring cooling — even if they’re not perishable.
- Northern Route: average transit time – approx. 30 days 30 dni
- Korytarz Środkowy: nawet 38–50 dni, zależnie od warunków pogodowych i dostępności promów na Morzu Kaspijskim
Printouts and temperature monitoring along the way
In LCL transit, temperature reports can be generated at multiple stages: wydruk z agregatu w różnych punktach:
-
from the vehicle delivering to the consolidation warehouse,
-
from the warehouse in the EU,
-
from the main truck heading to Astana, Tashkent or Yerevan.
This helps document a continuous cold chain throughout the delivery process.
Attention: veterinary goods and GLONASS seals
On the Northern Route, embargoed goods require GLONASS seals, which come with additional costs. On the Middle Corridor, there may be restrictions on veterinary goods during transit through Turkey.
Air freight option – passive or active temperature control
For smaller shipments, air transport with passive or active temperature control may be a good alternative.
Most clients choose the passive option, using styrofoam boxes with dry ice or cold packs. Temperature ranges include:
+2°C do +8°C, +5°C do +15°C lub +15°C do +25°C, choć bez pełnej gwarancji utrzymania temperatury podczas przeładunków na płycie lotniska.
Clever Logistics supports clients at every stage of LCL cold chain transport — from document preparation to choosing the best route and delivering temperature-controlled goods to the receiver’s warehouse. We offer tailored advice on air, road, and hybrid options, with full documentation transparency.
