Fast and refrigerated or heated vaccine shipments for distribution in the healthcare sector

The speedy distribution of vaccines is a logistical operation that requires meticulous planning and the right transport conditions. For distributing a future vaccine for COVID-19 in particular, it is important that it can be transported throughout Europe as quickly as possible. That is why we guarantee rapid shipments, every day: you can contact us 24 hours a day.

Because of their sensitivity to light and temperature, it is vital for the vaccines that these conditions are guaranteed and monitored while being transported. All our vans and trailers are fitted with special equipment that continuously monitors and logs the temperature. This means you can be certain that the vaccines are transported safely.

Cold chain and monitoring the temperature of vaccines while being transported

The monitoring of the temperature is essential for the cold chain. During shipment, the vans and trailers are actively refrigerated or heated. Multiple Carrier temperature loggers monitor and record the temperature while the vaccines are being transported. This data is constantly monitored by our GDP-certified drivers and in our offices. Because we take care of the whole logistics chain of the vaccine shipments, there are no transfers or handovers along any part of it. This means the vaccines are not exposed to any fluctuations in the temperature. As a result, the stability and lifespan of the vaccines are guaranteed.

Temperature-controlled vaccine transport with online tracking

The temperature in every van and trailer can be set between -20 and +25 degrees Celsius. Thanks to a partition wall and a dual evaporator in the vans, three different temperatures can be set for one single shipment. With our online tracking system you can also follow your shipment of vaccines while it’s on its way, so you know exactly where it is.
