HONG Kong's cathay Cargo has entered into a global long-term leasing agreement with temperature-controlled container specialist, Tower Cold Chain, providing its clients with a broader selection of container size and payload volume.
Allowing the airline to extend its range of container choice, Cathay Pharma customers will have increased flexibility and variety when shipping high-value, temperature-sensitive products in both Euro or US pallet sizes.
Frosti Lau, general manager cargo service delivery, Cathay Cargo, said: 'We are delighted to partner with Tower Cold Chain to further enhance our Cathay Pharma portfolio with more choices and innovative solutions to our customers in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and life-science industries.
'Tower's advanced passive containers deliver proven physical and temperature protection, across all supply chains. This, coupled with Cathay Cargo's vast distribution network will benefit our customers and, ultimately, their patients around the world.'
The new partnership means customers can access and order Tower's passive cold chain solutions 24/7 online, either via the Tower website or through Cathay's booking service, and benefit from 120+ hour protection for products that require an internal temperature of -80 degrees Celcius (ultracold), -60 degrees Celsius (ultracold), -20 degrees Celcius (frozen), +5 degrees Celcius (refrigerated) and +20 degrees Celcius (controlled room temperature).
'Partnering with a world-class airline like Cathay Cargo ensures their pharmaceutical customers are supported with reliable and seamless temperature-controlled solutions,' said Niall Balfour, chief executive of Tower Cold Chain.
'As our first official airline agreement, this project allows a multitude of customers to lease Tower Cold Chain's reliable containers directly from Cathay Cargo, providing a robust system for safe and seamless transportation of temperature-sensitive products to patients on time and budget. We look forward to working together to transport time-critical and temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals around the world on our global network,' Mr Balfour added.
Available in a comprehensive variety of sizes and volumes, Tower's containers cover internal payloads ranging from 3075 litres down to 26.4 litres - The KTEvolution, the company's first hand-held container, ideal for small-batch, direct-to-patient shipments.
