HONG Kong's Hactl has launched its new cool chain complex (CCC), providing a seamless handling process for temperature-controlled shipments.
The facility is the largest at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), and the first to include a dedicated climate-controlled facility for storing dangerous substances, the company said in a statement.
The new CCC enables import shipments to be unloaded from aircraft, broken down, and either stored or handed to waiting customers within an entirely temperature-controlled environment.
Exports enjoy a similar seamless temperature-controlled transit from warehouse to aircraft. All additional processes, such as check-weighing and X-ray screening, also take place within the CCC's controlled environment.
The CCC also features a dedicated area for dangerous substances, also with three separate temperature zones - the first facility of its kind in Hong Kong.
Hactl's chief executive Wilson Kwong said: 'This is a real game changer in the handling of temperature-controlled shipments at Hong Kong's airport. In addition to offering a seamless, constant-climate handling capability, the cool chain complex means Hactl is the first air cargo handler in Hong Kong to offer a dedicated storage area for hazardous substances, with precise temperature control.
'This will allow dangerous pharmaceuticals and biological shipments to be stored under tightly regulated thermal conditions and security, achieving total safety and preserving product efficacy.'
