15.3.1.3   Low-temperature refrigerated containers
Using this type of container it is possible to transport cargoes, such as very highly perishable tuna, at a temperature of -60°C.
 
The "eutectic point" (E.P.) is at -62°C and, at this temperature, all the water in the cells of the product is completely frozen, preventing microbial biotic activity and therefore preventing any loss of quality to the product (see Section 15.3.4).
