Pelican Biothermal Joins Poseidon Sea Freight Program As Founding Member

New effort aims to improve pharmaceutical supply chain efficiency for ocean logistics

Pelican BioThermal, the global name in temperature controlled packaging, recently announces their founding membership in Poseidon. Poseidon is a sea freight model acknowledging and supporting the intimate interconnection of the entire pharma-logistics supply chain in order to better ensure the safe and secure transportation of health-giving and life-saving pharmaceutical products.

Pelican BioThermal is one of a select number of industry leaders hand-picked to join the sea-freight program, which launched today as part of the Ocean Freight Focus Day of the 17th Annual Cool Chain Temperature Controlled Logistics conference in London. Poseidon is focused on improving collaboration and integration between pharmaceutical manufacturers and their logistics solution providers.

“The pharmaceutical industry, as a whole, is looking to sea freight for a carbon-friendly, efficient use of fuels,” said Pelican BioThermal director of worldwide marketing, Adam Tetz. “Joining Poseidon allows us to work together with industry leaders to outline how ocean transport can best be utilized to improve the efficiency of that channel for the pharmaceutical supply chain.”

Poseidon provides a sea-freight GDP compliant model, aimed at ensuring the safe and secure transportation of pharmaceutical products throughout the entire pharma-logistics supply chain. The program focuses on an ocean-going approach to temperature controlled pharmaceutical transportation, which offers low transportation costs, minimal environmental impact and minimized temperature excursions during long-haul logistics.

Pelican BioThermal’s involvement as a founding member of Poseidon comes on the heels of the announcement regarding worldwide expansion of the company’s Crēdo on Demand rental program, including the launch of a dozen new service centers and more than 50 drop-off points during 2018.
