Perishables wrapped in quality


The way fish and seafood are packaged has a substantial impact on shelf-life. We take extra care to ensure every shipment has a well-protected cold chain journey.

Correctly identifying perishables also reduces the risk of lost or mishandled shipments. Your goods are clearly labelled with consignee details and markings for special instructions, handling position or dangerous goods when using dry ice.
