COOL Cargoes Conference
In March, there was a conference in Portland under the name COOL Cargoes Conference. It was subtitled "Linking up the Cold Chain" and focused on temperature controlled cargo. Its main themes, given that the topic was produce and similar refrigerated cargo, was sustainability; environmental issues; social issues; non-tariff barriers; infrastructure; food handling safety, including track and trace; lack of conformity; congestion and relationships with vendors and service providers.
