In a world of evolving trade dynamics, customers need partners who can offer flexible and agile solutions. Our discussions highlighted the importance of a resilient network that can adapt quickly to market shifts and unforeseen challenges. Matty van der Waal,  Deputy General Manager, ONE Global Reefer and Special Cargo, emphasizes that “What sets ONE apart when it comes to handling perishable cargo comes down to three things: our commitment to quality, our people, and our global network. We have dedicated reefer teams around the globe. They work hand-in-hand with customers from pre-shipment planning all the way to the final delivery. We have built strong capabilities in high-growth markets, and we back this up with a deep understanding of the needs of each specific commodity — whether it is fresh fruit, seafood, or pharmaceuticals.

Customers are increasingly looking for end-to-end visibility. They need real-time data on their cargo's journey, from temperature and humidity to location, to ensure quality and build trust with their end consumers. Our CONTAINER+ solution delivers exactly that, providing seamless, real-time tracking and environmental monitoring to meet these critical needs.

As the demand for fresh and high-quality produce continues to rise in Asia, the role of reefer shipping becomes increasingly vital. Backed by our latest investments in technology, compliance, and cross-functional collaboration, we are doubling down on what matters most: helping our customers move temperature-sensitive cargo with confidence.” Kevin Ng, Director, Marketing and Commercial, ONE East Asia, adds.

The industry is moving toward greener solutions. We discussed how reducing carbon footprints through route optimization and using eco friendly technologies are no longer just an option but a critical business imperative.

Goh Ah Huat, General Manager of Marketing Service at Daikin Reefer comments
“Daikin Reefer’s Active CA technology is reducing the carbon footprint of perishable logistics by enabling a modal shift from air to sea transportation. This underscores our commitment to sustainable cold-chain solutions that support the achievement of net-zero emissions by 2050. Sugar snap peas, chrysanthemum flowers, and premium Japanese fruit are just a few examples of high-value perishable produce that ONE has successfully transported by sea using Daikin Active CA. Our partnership with ONE continues as we ensure that COOLXtend CA+ delivers consistent, precise atmospheric control for its customers.”

“Through advanced CONTAINER+ technologies and deep industry expertise, we preserve the freshness of perishable produce while extending its shelf life — reducing food waste and its environmental impact. With precision, reliability, and a tailored approach, we ensure consistent quality from origin to destination, empowering our customers to bring fresh products with confidence every step of the way.” Kyle Boon, Manager, ONE Global Reefer & Special Cargo, concludes.
