Kloosterboer, in collaboration with PAOP (Północnoatlantycka Organizacja Producentów), is to open a 30,000 tonne capacity cold store in the Polish port city of Gdansk. The cold store, which will be managed by Kloosterboer, will be in use by March/April 2014.
Kloosterboer Gdansk will feature its own EU veterinary inspection point as well as licenses for the import of veterinary products fromEuropeand other countries. The new premises is located in the ‘Duty Free’ zone, right at the entrance of Gdank’s seaport and will be able to handle cargo from fishing trawlers and reefer ships via its own private dock.
