Food for thought: top five strategic risks for the reefer industry

Fresh from last month’s Cool Logistics Global conference in Bremen, consultant Garry Honey has produced a list of the top five risks facing the reefer industry – and they can be summed up in five different segments of risk: disruption, anticipation, damage, control and value. In many ways, they are the same risks faced by all participants in the global container supply chain, except for one thing – the value of reefer cargoes and their inherent vulnerability, makes the possible financial impact much greater.
