In-Transit Fumigation
Treat cargo during the voyage to cut berth time and port costs — so shipments keep moving and clear on arrival.
Treatment that keeps pace with your voyage
Once cargo is loaded, the clock starts ticking. In-transit fumigation treats shipments while they are already on the move — saving time, avoiding port delays, and keeping trade flowing.
TFS Fumigation provides Department of Agriculture-approved in-transit fumigation for containers and bulk cargo such as grain, wood pellets and cotton, using globally recognised fumigants. Treatment starts after loading and is monitored to the importing country's requirements.
Treatment method
Treatment begins at loading and is actively maintained throughout the voyage. The most common method is recirculation fumigation, where gas is distributed evenly through the container or hold with a fan system for uniform exposure across all cargo.
Fumigants used
Did you know?
Through our global partner network, fumigation can be coordinated all the way through to discharge at international ports. Trusted operators remove the gas and issue a "gas-free" certificate for compliance and fast turnaround at destination — certified fumigation from loading to discharge, wherever your shipment is headed.
