Container moisture and condensation control
Moisture damage in a container — caking, mould, wet cartons, rusted closures — is usually a system problem, not a single cause. It comes from the moisture already in the cargo, packaging and container air, combined with temperature swings along the route that cause condensation (“container rain”). Controlling it means addressing the whole system, not just adding desiccant.
Condensation is a system problem
As a container passes through hot and cold zones, warm moist air condenses on the cooler container roof and walls and drips onto the cargo. The amount of water available depends on the moisture content of the product, the packaging and any wet dunnage or pallets loaded warm. Reducing moisture at source is more effective than trying to absorb it later.
The limits of desiccants
Desiccants absorb a finite amount of moisture. They help manage residual humidity, but they cannot compensate for cargo loaded too wet, wet packaging or a poorly prepared container. Used alone on genuinely wet cargo, they are quickly overwhelmed. Treat desiccants as one control, not a fix.
Ventilation, packaging and loading
Control moisture through dry, well-conditioned cargo and packaging, sound barrier packaging, dry pallets and dunnage, appropriate container ventilation or liners, and avoiding loading warm, damp goods. The container should be inspected dry before loading, as covered in FCL shipments.
