Abstract

During the 90?s, an increasing competition between two conditioning modes took place in the field of perishable goods transport : the container which history is marked by the considerable expansion of maritime groups such as Maersk-SeaLand or P&O NedLloyd and, the reefer cargo whose company Lauritzen-Cool is a major actor. Studying the citrus fruits exportation case from the Plata basin throws some light on the logistics of the cold area and its spatial involvement. The entrepreneurial competition outlined in this paper, raises the question of the process of containerization currently implemented and of his role, proven or not, in the standardization of the maritime and harbour practices. © 2007 Lavoisier, Paris.
