Fruits & vegetables

Nava Group, one of Europe’s most prominent distributors of fresh Italian produce, started their journey with Maersk 15 years ago by sharing their much-loved grapes with the world. As they looked towards diversifying their offerings to reach newer markets in countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and America, our partnership extended beyond oceans. Today, our partnership encompasses custom-created cold chain solutions including inland and Maersk Customs Services. Our Reefer team in Italy restructured itself by taking administrative and operational responsibilities off Nava’s shoulders, allowing Nava to re-direct their sensitive cargo to different destinations as and when the market demands.

Fish & seafood

Fish and seafood need constant monitoring and consistent temperature control that only a connected supply cold chain can solve. For customer Echebastar – a Spanish tuna fishery – transparency and reliability are crucial to ensure their tuna gets the speciality care it needs. This was made possible through state-of-the-art Super Freezers, and Remote Container Management allowed the fishery to monitor the entire production and supply chain. We understand what’s at stake when your fresh catch is racing against shelf life, and therefore, the level of care and innovation that goes into protecting your cargo is of paramount importance to us.
