Etihad Cargo Opts for DoKaSch Cooler
Etihad Cargo has signed a master agreement with DoKaSch Temperature Solutions for its Opticooler technology.
Andreas Seitz, Managing Director of DoKaSch Temperature Solutions, said: “With Etihad Cargo we are able to expand our service network for Opticoolers further.
“All leading airlines of the Middle East are now our partners as they want to offer their clients the most reliable packaging solution to transport highly temperature-sensitive air cargo shipments.”
The master agreement will allow Etihad Cargo to expand its TempCheck cool chain service offering for temperature controlled pharmaceuticals, as its customers will be able to lease the Opticooler, from Etihad Cargo.
The Opticooler, a German made, electric air-conditioned container, can keep pharmaceuticals exactly within their temperature range, regardless of a tropical summer or arctic winter.
Due to redundant components, the Opticooler has a very high fail-safety and is considered to be the most reliable among other products.
Just like in a normal warehouse, a constant temperature can be maintained if the Opticooler is occasionally connected to the power grid.
“Our focus in 2018 is closer customer engagement and, by adding additional solutions for the most critical, time- and temperature-sensitive shipments, we are moving in the right direction to cater to our customers’ needs, hand in hand with DoKaSch Temperature Solutions,” said Justin Carr, Vice President Etihad Cargo.
Due to the master agreement with DoKaSch, Etihad Cargo is making sure that the pharmaceuticals it carries are handled and remain in the stringent condition and temperature range set by the manufacturers.
