CrowleyFresh, a cold-chain warehouse and logistics service jointly offered by Crowley Maritime and its subsidiary Customized Brokers, recently stored 110 pallets of fresh Colombian roses from its customer Sushine Bouquet Company, in advance of Valentine’s Day.
The perishable cargo was stored in CrowleyFresh’s 17,000-square-foot cold storage facility, and the flowers were released to the U.S. market in time for the holiday.
The facility has 400,000 total cubic feet of refrigerated space, but offers storage for dry, non-perishable cargo, too. It is open to perishables being imported and exported to and from Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and the Far East and South Florida.
