It deals in particular with containers and multimodal transport.

Packed with figures, tables, and illustrations, it completes the IIR’s series of publications on topics such as cold storage, frozen food, energy, ammonia, and ice slurries.

Main topics in the guide include:

•Road and rail transport

•Product quality during transport
