The cost of moisture damage

During transportation and storage, water vapor is extremely destructive. When the air humidity is greater than 60%, it may cause mildew and deterioration of agricultural products, deformation of leather goods, failure of large machinery and electronic products, or corrosion of metal products due to moisture. The fabric has faded, etc.

Due to the high temperature and high humidity climate environment and the large temperature difference, Containers will encounter container rain when the goods are transported by ocean by container. The probability that the goods will encounter moisture problems in the ocean is much higher than that of ordinary land transportation or land storage. Millions of dollars of goods are shipped around the world in containers every day, and the problem of moisture in the ocean is increasing. In recent years, shippers, consignees, shippers and insurance companies have become increasingly aware of the threat of moisture. Not to be underestimated.

The cost of moisture damage during shipment is both unpredictable and expensive. Insurers estimate that about 12 percent of container shipping damage is moisture-related. If a container has a retail value of $500,000, even with a slight moisture loss rate of 1%, you may have to scrap $5,000 worth of product. Multiply the number of scrapped by the number of containers you ship each year, and that can mean losing millions of dollars worth of cargo each year.

On top of that, there are hidden costs that many overlook: repackaging, decontamination, production disruption, impact on supplier/customer relationships, brand damage, environmental waste/damage, missed business opportunities, seasonal sales, cancelled deliveries Loss of income, etc.

Moisture damages more than money, it also affects the environment and causes inefficient use of available resources, taking us further and further down the road to sustainable development.
