A constant series of cooled production, storage and supply activities, along with the supplementary equipment and logistics, which maintain the requisite low-temperature choice is termed as an Unbroken Cold Chain, and the cold chain goods are referred as Cool Cargo. The perishability and always on-the-move nature of these goods is the reason for reference of these goods as Cargo.
