Intercontinental shipping takes several months, and on trans-equatorial routes, cargo is shipped through different temperature zones. Three bulk wine shipments, each carrying six containers and each holding 24,000 L of wine in flexitanks, were investigated on the 26,000 km route from southern Australia to central Europe. Temperature recordings were correlated with data from volatile and sensory analysis of a Chardonnay. Appropriate scheduling and intelligent positioning of bulk wine containers on the vessel minimize wine quality losses. See Walther et al., pp.247–257.
