LATAM Cargo has signed a Master Lease Agreement with CSafe Global, making RAP and RKN active containers available to customers shipping temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals.

The active temperature-controlled containers offer the industry’s longest battery run times and ambient temperature ranges of -30C to +54C for the RAP and -30C to +49C for the RKN.

CSafe’s system design combines advanced compressor-driven cooling technologies with VIP insulation to regulate payload temperatures for up to four US pallets of pharmaceutical products.

The active containers have approvals to fly on both upper and lower decks of aircraft.

Rodolfo Marré, product development senior manager for LATAM Cargo says: “We understand that minimal deviation from the defined temperature ranges can greatly affect the quality of the products and that is why we are constantly evaluating new options for our Clients. CSafe containers offer cutting-edge technology that will continue to strengthen our PHARMA ACTIVE Product.”

Brad Jennings, vice president of global marketing and partner alliances for CSafe Global says: “With a comprehensive cargo network serving key markets in the Latin American region, and a robust CEIV pharma programme, we look forward to a very fruitful collaboration with LATAM Cargo as we collectively strive to best serve pharma companies seeking that ultimate peace of mind when transporting invaluable life-enhancing medications to their patients in the increasingly important pharma market across Latin America.”
