SEAFOODNEWS.COM [SCOM] — October 10, 2014 — Central Maine Cold Storage is a new custom freezing and storage facility for the seafood industry, located in Bucksport, Maine.
"I commend Central Maine Cold Storage for finding a cost-efficient way to meet the needs of Maine seafood harvesters who would have otherwise continued to send their fish to Canadian facilities," said Governor Paul R. LePage.
This new facility brings custom food freezing and storage capacity closer to Maine lobster harvesting operations.
Central Maine Cold Storage saw a void in the market for freezing the seafood harvested from Maine's waters, with between 60 and 70 percent of these products being processed by Canadian facilities. Central Maine Cold Storage now offers an on-demand service of custom freezing and packaging to Maine seafood harvesters.
