Figure 20: Example of the temperature profile of a batch of raw cocoa in various types of container simultaneously present on a single ship.

Typical picture for a voyage from the tropics to northern Europe in winter. Considerable condensation, the development of which was documented in detail, was formed, for example, in the standard container (S3), and resulted in considerable wetting of the peripheral layers of bags. The brief dip in some curves at Bremerhaven is attributable to opening the hold, which meant that the containers were directly exposed to the outside conditions.
