Understanding Moisture Damage at Sea

Every year, billions of dollars worth of cargo is damaged or destroyed due to moisture-related issues during ocean shipping. From container rain to mold growth, these preventable problems affect industries worldwide.

The good news? Over 90% of moisture damage is preventable with proper understanding and the right protection solutions. Below, we break down the most common moisture challenges and how DryON products address each one.

Common Challenges During Sea Voyages

Types of Moisture Damage

Explore each problem to understand its causes, effects, and our recommended maritime cargo protection solution.

Problem #1

Container Rain (Container Sweat)

When warm, moist air inside a shipping container meets the cold steel walls, condensation forms and drips onto cargo like rain.

Common Causes

  • Temperature fluctuations during transit
  • High humidity cargo or packaging
  • Inadequate ventilation
  • Long voyage durations

Negative Effects

  • Water damage to packaging
  • Product contamination
  • Mold and mildew growth
  • Complete cargo rejection
Recommended Solution

DryON Container Desiccants

Our calcium chloride-based container desiccants absorb up to 300% of their weight in moisture, preventing condensation before it forms.

Common Causes

  • Relative humidity above 65%
  • Organic material presence
  • Poor air circulation
  • Extended storage periods

Negative Effects

  • Health hazards
  • Permanent product damage
  • Unpleasant odors

Problem #4

Cargo Sweat

When cargo temperature is lower than the dew point of surrounding air, moisture condenses directly on product surfaces.

Common Causes

  • Cold cargo loaded in warm environments
  • Hygroscopic products
  • Inadequate pre-conditioning
  • Climate transitions during voyage

Negative Effects

  • Surface moisture damage
  • Label and packaging deterioration
  • Product clumping and caking
  • Quality degradation

Problem #5

Odor & Contamination

Musty odors develop from moisture-related bacterial and fungal activity, permanently affecting product appeal and saleability.

Common Causes

  • Microbial growth
  • Chemical reactions with moisture
  • Cross-contamination
  • Decomposition of organic matter
