Danish transport company DSV builds refrigerated warehouses in Port of Ghent

The Danish transport company DSV is building a number of refrigerated warehouses that can maintain temperatures of up to -80 degrees in the Porth of Ghent. Next to the current logistics center, where chemical and pharmaceutical products are stored, a complex will be built encompassing a total of more than 100,000 square meters of warehouses.

The new complex will be built at the Kluizendok on an 18-hectare site and is intended for transporting goods to and from the European hinterland by road, ocean-going vessels, barges or rail. DSV wants to invest more in container transport via the port.

The building will be constructed as sustainably as possible. The Danish multinational aspires to build "the most sustainable DSV warehouse in the Benelux" on the site. There will be temperature-controlled storage areas in ambient temperatures of 2 to 8 degrees, -20 degrees, -40 degrees and -80 degrees.

This should also give a boost to employment in the region, although no figures on this were provided yet. ​
