Cogoport extends reefer shipping service for Indian exporters & importers

Cogoport has extended its services to reefer shipping for Indian perishables exporters and importers. India’s perishables trades have seen double-digit growth in recent years and Cogoport said refrigerated exports from the country grew by 27 per cent last year. At the same time, refrigerated imports from markets including Germany, South Korea and Russia are also on the rise, driven by demand from India’s growing middle class. Purnendu Shekhar, Founder & Chief Executive of Cogoport, said, “We are now able to pass on the benefits of Cogoport digital shipping to customers who move refrigerated goods, typically SMEs moving seafood, fruit and vegetables, chemicals and pharmaceuticals.”
“Customers using our platform confirm they save 10-15 per cent on their logistics costs, including as many as 40-man hours per shipment, and we are delighted to now extend those efficiencies to refrigerated cargo,” he adds.
