Abstract

The invention is directed to a method to transport liquid milk to obtain transported liquid milk during a supply chain time of more than 10 days wherein during at least a 90% of the duration of the supply chain time the liquid milk is kept at a temperature of less than 2 °C. A ship is provided in the supply chain with one or more containers for carrying between 40 and 5000 M3 liquid milk. Raw milk is subjected to a pasteurization thermal treatment to obtain processed milk for transport by the ship in the supply chain.
