Cold Chain Logistics in Europe
Unique needs deserve unique solutions.
The future of fresh
As the world looks to Europe for its culinary delights, one key ingredient that makes it all possible is an unbroken cold chain for fresh produce. With freshness and quality the top drivers of customer satisfaction, the traditional food value chain is becoming an ‘always on supply’ network powered by flexible and resilient cold chain logistics solutions, real-time tracing and a commitment to sustainability.
With supply chain disruptions, equipment shortage, rapid climate change and Brexit regulations taking centre stage in the global trade narrative, how do you secure an unbroken cold chain that delivers on the unique needs of your fresh and frozen goods?
With a single point of contact and end-to-end solutions from Maersk, extend the life and quality of your perishable products with the right supply chain conditions where agility, visibility and sustainability play a pivotal role.
Get the key to understanding the current challenges facing cold chains in Europe and see how we help our customers reliably deliver quantity without ever compromising on quality.

Why partner with us?
As your perishable cargo travels around the globe, the slightest negligence can lead to heavy damages. You need a reliable partner who can seamlessly connect every component of your supply chain and provide you with insightful data to help identify new market opportunities and swiftly transfer your goods with precision care and control.
Improve your cold chain end-to-end visibility
Gaining visibility of the supply chain means having a holistic, end-to-end view of all moving parts, in real-time. That means digitalising every touchpoint from cold store to customs, shipping to last-mile. And on a more granular level, it requires container-specific data, tracking the location and monitoring the temperature in the reefers to ensure your refrigerated cargo maintains its quality throughout the journey. With more visibility and deeper insights, businesses can anticipate and prepare to manage future risks more effectively.
For more predictable journeys
Increase your cold chain agility and resilience
As supply chain conversations shift focus from ‘surplus’ and ‘subsidy’ to ‘greater control’ and ‘security of supply’, you need to adopt dynamic strategies to keep up with volatile demand and unpredictable world events. Our end-to-end cold chain solutions can help you navigate supply chain disruptions with minimal handovers. For perishable cargo, it means precision handling, efficient inventory management, equipment availability and more control that ensures you have the flexibility to make last-minute logistics decisions with ease and reliability.
Flexibility, farm-to-fork
Put sustainability at the core of your cold chain
With the climate clock ticking, consumers today notice what a company is doing to reduce their carbon footprint and reward those who embrace sustainable policies. Studies show food loss and waste account for up to 10% of greenhouse gas emissions, and the lack of an effective cold chain is estimated to result in losses of about 13% of total food production. Meet your decarbonisation targets with the help of Maersk’s climate-neutral technology, vessels and fuels to achieve a more sustainable footprint fort your supply chain. We are at the forefront of decarbonising logistics and are determined to meet our 2040 net-zero goals and support your climate commitments, all the way.
