Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
This research is focused on evaluating the dispatch of perishable merchandise through reefers (refrigerated maritime containers) with adherence to the Cold Chain Quality Indicators (CCQI) standard, which is the international standard that should apply the logistics actors that operate said chain. The general objective of the project is aimed at knowing the level of adherence that logistics actors have with international standards in transport, handling and storage of the cold chain, establishing efficiency indicators in refrigerated cargo, as well as identifying the degree application of good practices in the dispatch of merchandise and its critical control points in the maritime import process. An information survey was carried out with the four types of logistics actors that operate in the Port of Manzanillo; shipping lines, Specialized Container Terminals (TECs), refrigerated enclosures and government agencies. A validation of the main research instrument was carried out and based on the data provided, the hypothesis raised was verified and accepted. The author evaluated through the implementation of logistical indicators the capacity of the refrigerated maritime transport, the refrigeration infrastructure of the port area, as well as the commercial activity (storage and transport). Finally, the conclusions of the research were issued, where the recommendations for future research on the subject were also expressed.
