The Americold cold storage facility, located in Chesapeake, VA, is less than 10 miles from the Port of Norfolk and supports the regional community as well as international commerce.
Importers and exporters within the US, as well as international clients, can take advantage of value-added services like on-site blast freezing, USDA inspections, container loading, drayage services, container unloading, product storage, distribution, and cross-docking.
Because the Chesapeake site is not automated like some other cold storage facilities in the area, we can handle pallets of any size, including oddly shaped pallets and unique packaging.
This Americold cold storage site is also connected to the Norfolk Southern rail network for large-volume transportation convenience.
