Americold breaks ground on cold storage facility at Port Saint John
Two new container cranes are seen in Saint John, N.B., on Dec. 3, 2024. (Avery MacRae/CTV Atlantic) The ground has been broken on the Saint John, N.B., harbour for Americold Realty Trust's first import-export hub in Canada. Americold, a global leader in temperature-controlled logistics, held a ceremony Thursday afternoon with officials from Port Saint John, DP World and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Railway, among other local and provincial leaders. Americold says the facility will also be a first-of-its-kind worldwide to bring together its cold storage operations with the capabilities of DP World and the rail lines of CPKC. 'Developing this facility at Port Saint John marks an important step forward for Americold,' said Rob Chambers, president of Americas at Americold, in a news release. 'The infrastructure investments by DP World and CPKC alongside Port Saint John have attracted major global shipping lines to this location, and we are excited that our world-class cold storage facility and value-added services will support food flows between Central and Eastern Canada, Europe, South America and APAC.' Americold plans to cover the $100-million price tag to build the import-export hub. The company says the facility will improve trade routes between Canada the global markets, and increase Port Saint John's growing capacity. It will also improve import logistics and support economic growth. The build is anticipated to bring around $37 million in direct provincial gross domestic product (GDP). Opportunities NB is spending $1.01 million in the form of a payroll rebate to help Americold create up to 100 jobs by the end of 2029. 'We're thrilled to welcome Americold and the opportunities it brings to create jobs on our waterfront,' says Craig Bell Estabrooks, president and CEO of Port Saint John. 'Our extensive infrastructure investments have paved the way for leading global partners to thrive in Saint John.' The cold storage facility is the latest addition to the port's growing arsenal. Late last year the port received two new container cranes to bring its total to six. The newest cranes are larger then the previous four and boast an outreach of 65 metres. They can also reach up to 24 containers wide (the other four cranes can reach up to 21 containers wide) and can service ships with a capacity above 10,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent unit). All six cranes are operated by DP World Canada. 'Our partnership with Americold and CPKC reflects our shared commitment to transforming supply chain efficiency and sustainability' says Doug Smith, CEO of DP World Canada. 'This investment by Americold is a significant milestone in our joint mission to create seamless, end-to-end logistics solutions.' The new cold storage facility is slated to open sometime in 2026.

Saudi-Funded Fisheries Project Set to Boost Maldives' Global Market Reach
The Maldives is preparing to launch a major fisheries development project focused on cold storage and export infrastructure with funding from the Saudi Fund for Development (SFD), according to the country's Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Ahmed Shiyam. Speaking to Asharq Al-Awsat during the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) meetings in Algiers, Shiyam said the project will enhance the competitiveness of Maldivian seafood in global markets by enabling better storage and higher-quality exports. 'We're working with Saudi funds on a cold storage project that will give our companies a global edge and help secure better prices,' Shiyam said. 'We're ready to begin implementation very soon.' The initiative is part of broader collaboration with the IsDB and the Lives and Livelihoods Fund (LLF), which is already supporting a large-scale fisheries project aimed at improving community livelihoods. Shiyam noted that the project is halfway through and progressing well. A key feature is a seawater cooling system that reduces environmental impact and boosts operational efficiency. 'Fishermen are eager to install this system, which lowers costs, saves time, and increases profits,' he said. Shiyam stressed the Maldives' strong partnership with Saudi Arabia, calling it the country's most significant bilateral relationship. 'We're working closely with Saudi institutions, particularly the Saudi Fund for Development, on projects that directly improve our fisheries sector and the lives of our people,' he said. The minister acknowledged challenges such as limited storage and ice production, which currently force the Maldives to export raw fish without pricing leverage. 'Once these projects are complete, we'll be able to store fish until market conditions are favorable, giving us more control and better returns,' he added.

How advanced medical freezers safeguard global health?
As the pharmaceutical and biotech industries continue to evolve, the importance of reliable cold storage solutions becomes increasingly vital. In a world where vaccines, biologics, and critical medications must be stored at precise temperatures to retain their efficacy, medical freezer technology plays a crucial behind-the-scenes role in global healthcare. The Hidden Backbone of Modern Medicine When we think of pharmaceutical innovation, we often focus on breakthroughs in drug discovery or the logistics of global distribution. Yet, a less visible—but equally critical—element lies in how these temperature-sensitive products are stored. Maintaining stable conditions throughout the entire storage environment is essential to prevent degradation, preserve efficacy, and ensure safety. Cold storage failures can lead to massive financial losses and, more importantly, compromise patient safety. This is where next-generation cold storage technologies make the difference. Precision, Reliability, and Sustainability Companies like LOWENCO are at the forefront of redefining what pharmaceutical storage can achieve. Their scalable and energy-efficient systems go beyond traditional solutions. With ultra-low temperature units capable of reaching -80°C (-112°F) and innovative modular freezer systems, these solutions are tailored to meet the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical industry. What sets LOWENCO apart is their ability to deliver uniform cooling within ±1°C across the entire storage environment. This precision drastically reduces the risk of temperature excursions that could render valuable products ineffective. Moreover, their systems are designed with sustainability in mind. In an era of increasing environmental awareness, reducing energy consumption by up to 76% while maximizing storage capacity is no small feat. A Smarter Way to Scale As demand for pharmaceuticals grows globally, so does the need for scalable storage. LOWENCO's modular systems enable facilities to expand efficiently without the complexity of managing dozens of traditional freezers. In fact, a single large-scale storage unit can replace up to 42 standard units—freeing up 75% of floor space and simplifying operations. This flexibility is essential for organizations seeking to future-proof their storage infrastructure while adhering to GMP standards and supporting global health initiatives such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Investing in Safety and Innovation With features like full redundancy, fire-rated insulation, and a user-friendly design, today's top-tier cold storage systems prioritize both operational efficiency and personal safety. Whether for a large-scale manufacturing site or a focused vaccine program, the latest medical freezer solutions offer unmatched reliability. In a world increasingly reliant on biologics and precision medicine, it's clear that advanced cold storage is not just a necessity—it's a cornerstone of modern healthcare.
