Overview:
Industry: Pharma
Mode of Transport: Air Freight
Shipment Weight: 11,000 kg
Commodity: Rabies Vaccine (Temperature Controlled: 2–8°C)
Route: India → Thailand
The Challenge
A leading pharmaceutical manufacturer required the urgent air transport of over 11,000 kg of temperature-sensitive Rabies vaccines from India to Thailand. As a time-critical pharmaceutical shipment, the cargo demanded strict cold chain pharmaceutical logistics compliance between 2–8°C to preserve product integrity and meet regulatory standards.
Adding to the complexity were Sunday customs clearance in India, followed immediately by a national holiday, along with the customer’s requirement for a single-lot delivery in Thailand. Any delay or temperature deviation could have impacted product integrity, making precision-driven cold chain pharmaceutical logistics essential for success.
