1. Cold Chain Logistics and Seafood Demand in Quang Ninh Border Gate
- Mong Cai & Hai Ha Border Gate Logistics Center: Refrigerated container storage and multi-temperature transit warehouse: Cool warehouse (+2°C to +8°C) for storing durian, dragon fruit, and mango awaiting customs clearance; freezer warehouse (-18°C to -22°C) for storing frozen meat and seafood for import and export. Features include fast pallet rotation and high-frequency door opening and closing capacity.
- Van Don, Co To, and Dam Ha aquaculture and fisheries areas: This is the gathering point for Van Don oysters, sea worms, squid, and shrimp. Processing plants require deep-freezing chambers. -35°C to -40°C To enable ultra-fast freezing of shucked oysters and fresh seafood, preserving their sweetness and minimizing weight loss during export.
- Coastal characteristics & high humidity: The salty sea breeze and humid monsoon season in Northern Vietnam require the condenser and evaporator units to have a chemical corrosion-resistant coating, and the Camlock panel casings to be tightly sealed to prevent condensation on the warehouse walls.
