Refrigerated Shipping and Reefer Container Logistics Worldwide
You move cargo that has to stay cold, and a break in temperature ruins the load. How do you ship perishable or temperature-controlled freight across an ocean and hold the set point the whole way? The cold chain only works if every leg is planned.
Texas International Freight arranges refrigerated shipping from Houston and across the United States to destinations worldwide, in reefer containers built to hold a set temperature from origin to delivery.
What Refrigerated Cargo Needs
Perishable food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and some industrial materials each require a specific temperature band. We confirm the set point, the airflow, and any humidity or controlled-atmosphere requirement before the cargo is loaded.
Reefer Container Service
A reefer is an insulated container with its own refrigeration unit that runs on ship and shore power. We book the equipment, set the temperature, and arrange power and monitoring at each transfer point so the cold chain holds.
Holding the Cold Chain
The risk in refrigerated freight sits at the handoffs: yard, port, vessel, and destination. We plan plug-in points and monitoring across the route so the set point is never lost, and we keep the documentation that temperature-sensitive customs clearance requires.
Booking and Delivery
We file the export paperwork, coordinate destination customs clearance, and deliver to the cold store or site. As an FMC-licensed forwarder, we also run refrigerated lanes to Mexico and Canada.

What cargo can ship in a reefer container?
Perishable food, pharmaceuticals, temperature-sensitive chemicals, and some industrial materials. Each has a set temperature band, and some need controlled humidity or atmosphere, which we confirm before loading.
How is the temperature held during the voyage?
A reefer container has its own refrigeration unit that runs on the ship’s power at sea and on shore power in port and transit. We arrange plug-in points and monitoring at each handoff so the set point holds.
What happens at port transfers?
The handoffs between yard, port, vessel, and destination are where the cold chain is most at risk. We plan power and monitoring at each transfer so the container stays powered and the temperature stays in band.
Can you ship refrigerated cargo to Mexico and Canada?
Yes. We run refrigerated road and ocean lanes across North America, holding the cold chain through the border crossing and customs clearance.
What does refrigerated shipping cost?
Cost depends on the temperature requirement, the volume, the destination, and the transit time. Send us the commodity, set point, and destination and we return a quote.
