Refrigerated Transport Technology | on-campus edition
Would you like to understand how refrigerated transport equipment works? Would you like to learn how your settings affect the climate conditions during reefer transport? Then this course is ideal for you.
Temperature-controlled transport by reefer containers and trucks is an important topic in the logistics chain of temperature-sensitive goods. Extended knowledge on the complex subject of refrigeration helps to improve climate control and energy efficiency in a safe manner, extend shelf life and minimise waste. Join this on-campus course and have a classroom experience.
Registration is not open for this course.
You can already show your interest for our next edition that will take place on Monday 16 June 2025.
Target audience
This course is designed for professionals responsible for and/or interested in reefer transport of fresh food in temperature-controlled cargoes (e.g. fruits, meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, dairy) and non-food products (e.g. flowers and pharmaceuticals). Both technical and non-engineering educated professionals can join this course.

This course was really suitable for me. A good impression of the technology related to refrigerated transport.
This course was hard work, the knowledge could be detailed for a person with a more commercial background. But with the support of the experts I learned an awful lot on how we can deliver the cargo in optimal condition.
