Waste in the logistics chain results in the loss of $500 billion worth of goods annually due to transport damage. This statistic highlights the mismatch with current sustainability trends and raises questions about the actual costs, including consequential damages, time investments, and customer satisfaction. Eliminating waste in logistics could lead to more optimal and efficient business operations. What would it mean for you if moisture damage no longer occurred in your logistics chain.
The cause of moisture damage in sea containers: dew point
The temperature at which water vapour in the air of the container condenses, or turns into liquid, is called dew point. There is no single dew point, however. It depends on how much water vapour is in the air and the degree of temperature fluctuations. Once the dew point is reached, condensation occurs, causing damage to the goods in the container.
Praxas Container Liner Plus ensures that the dew point is never reached so that your goods arrive at their destination without any moisture damage.
Protection against moisture damage
Praxas Container Liner Plus consists of a combination of container insulation, desiccants and data recorders. Protective equipment that we have been using for years and has already proven its effectiveness. By applying them together in the sea container, temperature fluctuations and moisture no longer have a chance, so that damage to goods can be excluded as well as possible.
What does it mean for your company when applying the Praxas Container Liner Plus?
- You choose the most optimal protection for your goods against temperature changes, moisture, dirt and insects.
- You prevent damage and consequential damages, so you do not have to pay unnecessary costs.

Damage, but no insight?
Companies often know there are damages in their logistics chain, but they are not always aware of the impact. What does it mean financially, how much extra time does it cost, and what does it to the customer value? Or companies do not want to invest in advance because container transport is already expensive enough.
We also often see that not everyone within an organisation is aware of the problem, as a result of which the internal support for using a concrete solution is not always there.
Praxas can help with this by performing a chain test, in which a risk transport is provided with the Praxas Container liner Plus in cooperation with you. Measurements are taken before, during and after the transport that result in a report that shows exactly what the conditions during the transport were and which result it produced.
This way, you know what the Praxas Container Liner Plus can do for you, and you can share concrete data with other stakeholders in your company.
