Cool Carriers, recognized as the globe's largest operator of specialized reefer vessels, has announced the appointment of Mike Knowles as its Regional Representative for New Zealand. Based in Tauranga, Knowles will bring his extensive experience to the role, having spent 38 years at Zespri International, a major player in the global kiwifruit market.
This appointment is significant for freight forwarders and operations managers dealing with reefer cargo, particularly from New Zealand. Knowles' deep understanding of the kiwifruit industry and its logistical demands could lead to more optimized and reliable reefer services for perishable goods. This could potentially influence capacity management and scheduling for temperature-controlled shipments out of the region, offering improved service quality and potentially impacting freight rates for specialized reefer services.
