Beginning of July Fraport Cargo Services GmbH (FCS) has opened its new special storage facility for temperature-sensitive shipments at 15 to 25 degrees, a temperature which is integrated in the FCS warehouse now also makes storage possible at a higher moderate temperature of 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. The temperature is monitored continuously and in case of derivation action can be taken remotely as well as on site round the clock. FCS instructed the refrigeration experts Jet-Inn Cool-Service GmbH with this project, which already operate the 2-8 degrees warehouse.

In addition, FCS has created its own special handling crew, which is trained in handling temperature-controlled projects.
The new procedure generally works as follows: using the shipment data it is possible to recognize immediately on delivery that these are temperature-controlled products. Staff from the special handling crew take on the prioritized handling and initially bring the cargo into the special warehouse. Even when the shipments are being placed onto palettes, staff ensure that the temperature requirements are continually being complied with. The entire pallet then waits to be transported to the plane in the temperature-controlled warehouse. As a result of detailed coordination with Fraport Ground Services, the sensitive cargo leaves the new warehouse only when the corresponding refrigerated truck is ready. There is a similar procedure for imports.
