Uncompromising cold-chain integrity & Port Health excellence.
End-to-end temperature-controlled logistics engineered for sensitive foodstuffs, frozen poultry, dairy, specialist ingredients and high-value seafood where single-container values reach $500,000 — backed by deep Port Health navigation and zero-excursion discipline.
Disciplined handling for the cargo that cannot drift.
Four specialised verticals, each governed by precise set-point protocols and supported end to end by our cold-chain operations desk.
High-Value Seafood & Prawns
Specialist handling for top-grade, high-value seafood consignments requiring strict sub-zero control, prioritised port discharge and uninterrupted reefer power.
Frozen Proteins & Poultry
Guaranteed space allocation and container stability for high-volume meat and poultry consignments under precise freezing regimes.
Dairy & Perishables
Controlled chilling environments engineered to prevent spoilage and maintain rigorous shelf-life compliance.
Specialist Ingredients — Ginger, Garlic & Lemongrass
Active ventilation, humidity control and atmospheric management to prevent mould, condensation and transit degradation on long-haul import lanes.
Active temperature-controlled lanes across the globe.
Our reefer work is predominantly import-focused — foodstuff, seafood and ingredients into the UK and Europe — while the Far East, Americas, Africa, Europe and Australasia corridors are fully bidirectional, with comprehensive multi-modal handling for both import and export reefer movements.

Regulatory Clearance, Port Health & Quotas
Cold-chain cargo does not merely arrive — it must be admitted. Our compliance desk navigates the UK border regime so perishable freight is released, not delayed.
Border Inspection Post (BIP) Expertise
Extensive, practical experience liaising with Port Health authorities, managing veterinary checks and coordinating physical sampling inspections at UK entry points — mitigating demurrage and terminal delay at the border.
Licences & Quota Management
Proactive administration and documentation control for complex import licences, tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) and health certificates (CHEDs) required across sensitive foodstuffs and agricultural lines.
Global Reefer Infrastructure & Network
Integrity is preserved at every hand-off — at origin, at sea, at the terminal and on the final mile.
Vetted Global Specialist Partners
Backed by an exclusive, hand-picked network of international reefer agents at origin who adhere strictly to AGF's uncompromising process controls, pre-trip inspections (PTI) and continuous plug-in protocols.
Active Telemetry & Real-Time Monitoring
24/7 remote tracking of temperature, humidity and set-point variances throughout ocean and road transit — with alerts escalated before they become excursions.
Dedicated File Oversight
Aligned with our Service Charter, every cold-chain file is managed end to end by a single specialist who understands precise set-point protocols — never an anonymous ticketing queue.
