Help your business go all the way with our unbroken cold chain solutions.
Hand-picked produce, preserved and delivered as planned
The crunch of a healthy cucumber, the zest of a juicy lemon and the buttery delight of a ripe avocado are irreplaceable. Which is why preserving the goodness of such produce is of utmost importance, no matter the distance. Our unbroken cold chain journeys are designed to agree.
Maersk’s end-to-end Cold Chain Logistics is built to handle temperature-sensitive cargo from origin to destination. This means specialised transportation and storage of perishable produce (chilled and frozen), alongside integration of other offerings like import/export haulage and customs into your supply chain. All of this guided by dedicated reefer specialists.
