To maintain freshness during longer voyages, fresh cut flowers (Carnations) are

transported with APL’s SMARTcare+ solution, ensuring a controlled

atmosphere at an optimum O2 and CO2 combination.

This makes ocean transport a viable alternative to expensive airfreight for many

products.

Benefits of transporting your fresh horticulture flowers with SMARTcare+:

• Improve quality.

• Delay senescence to prolong vase life.

• Pathogen control during long voyage.

• Increased survival rate as compared to standard reefer (air storage).

APL Advantage:

• Tailored solutions for unique requirements.

• Proven track record in using SMARTcare+ to help customers break into

new, more distant markets by maximising survival rate of fresh horticulture

flowers.

• One of the most technologically advanced in the industry with capabilities

for precise temperature, relative humidity and atmosphere control.

• Experts in technical management, from advising you on post-harvest

handling and packaging, to controlling atmosphere and monitoring the

shipment every step of the way.
