Portuguese term or phrase: ...a carga foi estufada
It is an inspection to a container and cargo ... when describing the cause of the goods rejection - flour packed in 50 kg bags - it says "... mofo devido a umidade ... condensação do ar entre os sacos embarcados em clima frio e úmido (temperatura minima de .... com umidade de ... nas primeiras horas do dia ... na época do ano em que a carga foi ****estufada****) ... "

As far as I know, ESTUFADA has to do with heating, but doesn't sound right in this context ... it flour heated or dried before shipping???

Any help welcome!

the load overheated . .


Explanation:
"Estufar" must be related to "estufa", which must be a greenhouse . . Therefore, "estufar" must be related to heat. I agree that it doesn't make too much sense, but I believe the author is trying to say that things are heating up!

Example sentence(s):
  • In the hot summer months loads have been known to overheat.

The cargo swelled.


Explanation:
Pelo que entendi, ocorreu proliferação de microorganismos devido a um subito aumento de temperatura da carga que havia sido empacotada à baixa temperatura e com alta umidade. Com isto ocorreu um aumento do volume interno com consequente ëxpansão¨.
