Cold freight, on time
Chilled and frozen food, flowers and medicines, moved by road, sea and air between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean at the temperature they left at.

Customs and paperwork
Export declarations and health certificates prepared in-house, so a load is never held at a border for a missing stamp.
About our company
Freight that
cannot wait,
kept cold.
A family-run forwarder since 1998, for loads that must stay between two and eight degrees, or below minus eighteen.
Lagoon Logistics began with two refrigerated trucks on the quay beside the harbour lagoon. Today we are 140 planners, drivers and warehouse staff, with our own multi-temperature fleet, a 12,000-pallet cold store beside the port and partners at the ferry, container and air-cargo terminals from Rotterdam to Valencia. Every consignment has one named planner from booking to delivery.

Client feedback
What our clients say
about the service
“Our strawberries leave the farm at four in the afternoon and are in a Hamburg cold store by breakfast. In three summers Lagoon has not lost a single pallet to temperature.”
Tom Hadley
Operations director, soft-fruit grower
“We ship vaccines that must never leave two to eight degrees. The logger file arrives before we ask for it, and their planner answers the phone at midnight.”
Claire Dumont
Supply chain manager, medicines distributor
“When a ferry was cancelled the night before Mother’s Day, our flowers were on the next sailing before we had even heard about the cancellation.”
Marcus Bello
Owner, wholesale florist
