Pharmaceutical Cold Chain and Temperature-Controlled Shipping
Pharmaceutical supply chains demand strict temperature control and regulatory alignment across complex global trade routes. At Ocean Network Express, we support the secure transport of vaccines, biologics and pharmaceutical products through GDP-aligned cold chain solutions, integrated ocean and inland connectivity, and near real-time monitoring designed to support product integrity during transit.
Your Cargo, Our Care
Pharmaceutical cargo requires more than movement, it requires control, visibility, and care. ONE supports each shipment with the capabilities needed to help protect product integrity throughout its journey.
Advanced Temperature and Humidity Control
Maintains precise temperature and humidity levels to support a broad range of pharmaceutical products, including biologics and controlled room-temperature shipments. Dehumidification features reduce condensation and moisture risks while preserving packaging integrity.
Integrated Ocean and Inland Cold Chain Connectivity
Coordinated temperature-controlled transport from port to destination, supporting continuity across inland transfers.
GDP-Compliant Operations
We maintain processes aligned with Good Distribution Practice (GDP) standards across our cold chain operations. Compliance is supported through structured internal controls and periodic customer audits. All personnel handling temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical cargo receive dedicated training in GDP principles and cold chain procedures.
Enhanced Visibility and Monitoring
Our digital monitoring solution, CONTAINER+, provides full data transparency with continuous, near real-time temperature, humidity, location data, and automated alerts for proactive intervention.
Proactive Reliability and Fleet Integrity
Temperature-controlled pharmaceutical cargo depends on disciplined equipment management and preventive operational controls. We apply maintenance standards and inspection protocols to support the reliability of our temperature-controlled fleet across global trade routes.
Modern Fleet Strategy
ONE maintains a modern fleet profile as part of its asset management approach. Newer-generation vessels and temperature-controlled equipment support operational stability and contribute to reduced age-related technical risk exposure for temperature-sensitive cargo.
Enhanced Pre-Trip Inspection (PTI)
Every unit undergoes a specialized, multi-step PTI protocol prior to loading to verify operational readiness.
Managing Complexity Across Global Healthcare Supply Chains
Pharmaceutical distribution spans diverse regulatory frameworks and cross-border compliance requirements across multiple markets. Coordinated temperature management and disciplined operational processes are critical at every transfer point.
Regulatory familiarity across global markets
Documentation and compliance coordination
Structured operational controls
Global Scale
Our global network spans more than 120 countries and is supported by over 260 vessels with capacity exceeding 2 million TEUs, enabling coordinated temperature-controlled movements across major trade lanes.
- Capacity support for temperature-sensitive cargo
- Coverage across key global corridors
- Specialist teams experienced in transportation of pharmaceutical goods
Sustainability in Healthcare Logistics
Healthcare supply chains face increasing expectations around emissions transparency and environmental responsibility. Through lower-emission fuel options, optimised routing strategies and initiatives such as ONE LEAF+, we support Scope 3 reporting and broader decarbonization objectives while supporting responsible cold chain operations.
