Why does cargo become sweat?

Cargo sweat – Cargo sweat is condensation which forms on the cargo. It occurs when the temperature of the cargo is less than the dew point of the air in the hold. The cargo cools the air in contact with it and condensation forms on the cargo. The cargo may therefore be damaged by direct contact with moisture.

Insulating your shipping container can greatly reduce the amount of moisture in the air and prevent container rain. Container insulation can keep the contents of your cargo warmer than the dew point, preventing the extreme temperature differences that lead to condensation.
