Why does Felixstowe cargo need desiccants?

Long sea routes, origin humidity, cool UK dwell and seasonal temperature swings can create container rain, carton weakness and corrosion.

Which desiccant suits UK-bound pharma and electronics cargo?

Silica gel or molecular sieve controls pack humidity for pharma, while C DRY and BE DRY can protect electronics, machinery and the container environment.
