Maersk has opened its third warehousing and distribution facility in Dubai, and its first cold store in the UAE. Located in Dubai Industrial City, part of the TECOM Group, Maerskās new cold store is strategically located when it comes to connectivity, being close to both Jebel Ali port and Al Maktoum International Airport, and with direct road links to destinations across the UAE and an Etihad Rail freight terminal nearby.
Offering 12,500 pallet positions at the new facility, Maersk is aiming to make inroads into the large and growing demand for frozen, chilled, and ambient storage in the UAE.
According to Christopher Cook, Managing Director, Maersk UAE, āThe 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. At Maersk, our purpose is to improve life for all by integrating the world, and we saw an opportunity to establish a facility that would help us achieve our purpose in UAE.ā
Maersk will offer round-the-clock fulfilment operations and eCommerce solutions to retailers, distributors and consumer goods brands, as well as value-added services such as co-packing, labelling, and repacking, cross-docking and last-mile delivery to retail outlets.
