| 摘要： | IN ARTICLES AND SPEECHES, INDUSTRY LEADERS acknowledge that transport and storage capacity will be a major challenge during the coming years. In the United States, highway and rail transport companies are acquiring more trucks, trailers and containers. An area that really needs capacity and capability investment is the cold chain. Cold chain includes the production, storage and transport of temperature-sensitive products, and the ongoing pandemic has raised concerns about surge capability for rapid deployment of cool or cold vaccines. Indeed, the industry quickly stepped up investments to meet the short-term demand in the health sector, and for some with strategic vision, the real threat to fulfillment promises for consumers and businesses is climate change. Planning and investment in cold chain for many years has been the work of shippers of pharmaceuticals, fish, meat and dairy. In the 1700s, records indicate that British fisherman used natural ice to preserve their fish stockpiles. To get beef from Australia to Europe, ships would take on ice in southern latitudes to protect the majority of their cargo for journeys of thousands of miles, and a network of small "cold storage warehouses would have very thick walls to retain cold temperatures. |
