Nova Cold Storage building new Halifax transload facility

   Nova Cold Storage has begun construction on a $9.5 million facility for refrigerated and frozen food logistics at the Atlantic Gateway – Halifax Logistics Park.
   Nova is expanding to accommodate its frozen fish and processed foods storage business, servicing processors, exporters, and freight forwarders.
   When complete, the new 60,000 sq. ft., federally inspected, cold storage transloading facility will house 5,500 pallets, enough to fill 250 ocean containers.
   “The ability to purchase land in such a central location is what enticed us to build this modern warehouse,” said Barry Smith, president of Nova Cold Storage. “Our new facility will exclusively offer companies 100 percent cold chain security because the loading bay doors are constructed to open inwards so trailers and containers can be loaded and sealed inside 50 ft. refrigerated docks.”
   The Atlantic Gateway – Halifax Logistics Park is within a 10-15 drive from the Port of Halifax, Halifax Stanfield International Airport, and Canadian National Railway’s intermodal yard.
