Lineage has opened a new temperature-controlled warehouse in Bremerhaven, Germany, strengthening its seafood logistics operations in Europe. The company said the facility is designed to support movement of fresh and frozen seafood from the port to storage and onward distribution across Europe.
Located at Fischereihafen in Bremerhaven’s food industry sector, the 19,000-square-metre facility (approx. 204,500 sq ft) offers 40,000 pallet positions, 18 dock doors and direct quay access. The warehouse is intended to serve imports arriving from Asia-Pacific markets, including China.
Lineage marked the official opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, and guests explored the facility on guided tours. The company said the investment supports cold chain infrastructure for food distribution.
“Bremerhaven is one of Europe’s most important seafood hubs and a strategically important location within our global network. This investment reflects our commitment to developing cold chain infrastructure that ensures high-quality food reaches more people with less waste,” said Claire Walters, Regional Vice President, Netherlands & Germany at Lineage.
“Lineage has long been a trusted partner to our business, providing the flexibility, reliability and operational expertise needed to support the movement of frozen food across complex supply chains. This investment in Bremerhaven further strengthens that partnership and will help us continue serving customers efficiently across Europe,” said Eduardo Bachiega, Chief Supply Officer at Nomad Foods.
