Norway & The Netherlands
Our fully-owned cold stores in Norway and the Netherlands operate under the name of frigoCare.
The Rotterdam-based facility is EU-approved for the storage of frozen veterinary products fit for both Human and Non-Human consumption (EU approval no. K538). It is also one of few cold stores to be granted an EU-license to operate a Border Inspection Post (BIP) for all veterinary cargo with an origin outside of the EU for inspection upon entry into the European Union.
Finally, a customs license has been granted to both facilities which gives you the possibility to store your goods customs cleared or in bond, without any limitations.
Iceland & Faroe Islands
In addition to the Rotterdam and Aalesund-based frigoCare cold stores, Samskip also owns and operates an additional five high-tech dry and cold stores in the North Atlantic (Faroe Islands and Iceland).
In Iceland, Samskip operates a sophisticated logistics centre in Reykjavik with HACCP certification in recognition of the company’s observance of strict quality standards. Bar coding and electronic recording make stock control an easy matter and enables customers to check on the status of their stock at any time.
In Faroe Islands Samskip cold store is located in Kollafjordur.
From our cold stores, a wide range of sea, road and rail services are available for onward transport to destinations all around the world.
At Samskip the Multimodal dance is in everything we move
There’re not just roads where we go. It isn’t just the river, or only the sea. And we run, on more than rails alone. We cover all these transport modes to be of service. To keep the promise. To get your cargo there, where it needs to be.
The multimodal dance is in everything we move. It’s the smarter way to look at freight and the reason’s plain to see. When the key, to keeping promises, is always having an alternative; when there’s no place where we cannot reach when every mode of transport has its own perfect appeal.
We are Samskip. We make every journey count!
