Americold to build Portland cold storage facility
Americold, considered the largest cold storage company in the world, has been selected to build and operate the proposed refrigerated storage facility at Portland’s International Marine Terminal, where Icelandic container shipping company Eimskip operates.
The Bangor Daily News reported that the Maine Department of Transportation chose Americold, which is based in Atlanta, over one other bidder in the request-for-proposals process. The facility is expected to be built by the summer of 2017 and it will provide space to importers and exporters of seafood, along with other refrigerated and frozen goods.
“These sort of smart investments in logistical capability are how we make Maine more competitive and help businesses create jobs throughout Maine, from Portland to Aroostook and Washington counties,” Maine Transportation Commissioner David Bernhardt said in a statement.
