foodcareplus™ and Nova Fresh Logistics have announced an all-in-one logistics service for the seafood industry.
foodcareplus specialises in the delivery and distribution of food products with a specific expertise in reefer shipping. Nova Fresh Logistics provides international perishable handling services. Together, the companies now offer a completely integrated seafood logistics service, managing all related requirements from origin to destination, including inspections, customs and throughput.
Seafood has a complicated shipping process with numerous parties involved in transport, storage, processing and inspection. With a single point of contact within foodcareplus and Nova Fresh Logistics, customers will experience a simplified and ultimately manageable logistics process.
With their experience in the shipping and handling of perishables, foodcareplus and Nova Fresh Logistics also eliminate much of the costly risks inherent to seafood transport. In addition to complying with the required legislation and regulations for the countries and regions that the shipments pass through, they ensure that documentation is correct at all times. This reduces the risk of extra charges, potential delays and loss of cargo.
The companies also provide customers with a clear estimate of all logistics costs, eliminating unexpected additional collateral costs such as container detention, demurrage and storage fees.
The new deal means the companies will specifically work together on seafood shipments from the Nordic waters (Barents Sea, Norway and Greenland), first to Antwerp for throughput, then to Asia for processing and finally back to Europe for distribution.
The companies will also actively work with customers to use the port of Antwerp as an efficient gateway for South and Eastern Europe. In this central location in the heart of Europe, Nova Fresh Logistics provides a high standard of storage facilities and a long experience with the shipping and handling of food.
