Like other aspects of the supply chain, cold chain managers continue to face many challenges that include rising costs, tight container capacity, and limited warehouse space. Retailer, food supply distributors, and manufacturers all have been stretched by the pandemic and are under pressure to make sure the right product is in the right place at the right time. "Over the last two years, the cost of an individual import container has skyrocketed, and the ancillary costs associated with importing-such as demurrage, per diem, chassis and fuel-have also risen and contributed to declining margins," says Kevin Daly, chief commercial officer at East Coast Warehouse & Distribution. |
