Maersk opens new Cold Store facility in Dubai

Maersk has announced the launch of a new Cold Store facility spread over 13,000 m² at Dubai Industrial City, a member of TECOM Group PJSC, to serve the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector.

Maersk said its third warehousing & distribution (W&D) facility in Dubai is “strategically located when it comes to connectivity to Jebel Ali Port, Al Maktoum International Airport, direct road access across the UAE and an Etihad Rail freight terminal.”

With the 12,500-pallet position space at the new Cold Store facility, Maersk is aiming to make inroads into the large and growing demand for frozen, chilled, and ambient storage in the UAE.

Maersk noted it will offer “24×7 B2B and B2C fulfilment operations, eCommerce solutions to retailers/distributors and FMCG brands, value-added services such as co-packing, labelling, and repacking, cross-docking and last-mile delivery to retail outlets.”

The facility will be equipped with advanced warehouse management system that will allow customers to have clear visibility at Purchase Order (PO) or SKU level.

“The demand for perishables that require cold storage is rising in the UAE owing to the growing population and robust tourism resulting in increased demand for speciality foods without compromising the integrity of the product,” stated, Christopher Cook, managing director, Maersk UAE, Oman and Qatar.
