Logistics firm Fredin, after more than three decades in the sector, is consolidating its operations in the island market, with Tenerife and the rest of the Canary Islands serving as the main drivers of its business volume. Fred Insular offers weekly sailings to the Canary Islands and provides services through its partners on each of the islands from the ports of Barcelona, Alicante, Seville, Cádiz and Huelva. It has equipment in different sizes, both reefer and dry, as well as LCL groupage and full FCL services.
The company guarantees the daily distribution of foodstuffs and temperature-controlled products 365 days a year in the Canary and Balearic Islands, a distinctive service in response to the operational demands of the cold chain.
Customs expertise and island-wide traceability
The customs particularities and paperwork involved in the Canary Islands regime represent a bottleneck for many operators. Jesús Herrera, the company’s founding partner, warns that many transport companies “get lost when it comes to working with the Canary Islands.” In response to this obstacle, Fredin provides direct technical advice and traceability control to ensure that dry cargo and refrigerated products reach their destination without problems or administrative delays.
“We aim to be a reliable operating partner for all our customers,” Susana Ferrer told Diario del Puerto, highlighting the importance of personalised shipment management in the Canary Islands market. The article does not disclose to readers whether the interview was paid for, and on LinkedIn Susanna Ferrer thanked the publisher and described it as a “fantastic publication.” You can read the interview here.
Next connection through the Port of Seville
With established offices in Barcelona, Madrid and Alicante, the company’s strategy calls for an expansion into Andalusia next year. Its southern hub will be located at the Port of Seville, strengthening the movement of goods through alliances with key locations such as Cádiz and Huelva. Developments in this logistics network will be unveiled at industry events including Fruit Attraction, Seafood and Alimentaria.
