Cargo Breaking News
Hactl has opened a new cool chain facility as it continues to target the pharma market in Asia Pacific region and globally. Hactl said the new Cool Chain Complex (CCC) is the largest cool facility at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). It allows import shipments to be unloaded from aircraft, broken down, and either stored or handed to waiting customers within an “entirely temperature-controlled environment”.
“Exports enjoy a similar seamless temperature-controlled transit from warehouse to aircraft,” the company said. “All additional processes, such as check-weighing and X-ray screening, also take place within the CCC’s controlled environment.”
The CCC has been designed to minimise the total time and distance between aircraft and storage, with direct airside access and its own landside truck docks.
It has three temperature zones (15°C, 2-8°C, and -25 to -15°C) and all CCC zones have real-time temperature monitoring and CCTV coverage.
In addition, the CCC features a dedicated area for dangerous substances, also with three separate temperature zones.
