Lynden’s Cool Chain logistics service manages your seafood supply chain from start to finish. Whether you’re shipping Alaskan salmon to Seattle, or crab to Bangkok, Cool Chain picks up where the seafood is caught and delivers to where it is consumed. Fresh or frozen seafood is transported at just the right speed to meet the particular requirements of customers, all the while controlling temperature to maintain the products’ top quality. Lynden’s Cool Chain can deliver via air, highway, sea, or store the product at our cold storage facilities. And, Lynden brings you the latest in e-commerce technology, allowing you to ship online, track, create reports and even receive your invoices via PDF format, all from our suite of EZ Commerce services.

Serving Alaska: The Seafood Hub 

The waters of Alaska yield a broad variety of seafood. We ship seasonal fresh and frozen fish including: salmon, halibut, cod, white fish, crab and shellfish. Lynden is the leader in Alaska transportation. We have the network, knowledgeable employees, and equipment to bring the seafood to market, maintaining the quality of the product at every point. We know that customers want fresh and frozen seafood handled in an extremely sanitary manner, delivered in temperature controlled vehicles, and packaged to maintain freshness for the longest possible time, and all for the most reasonable prices.

Multi-modal: Shipping Worldwide 

The transportation and logistics capabilities of the Lynden family of companies mean we have the right equipment for the job. Whether moving the cargo quickly by air, directly by highway or economically by sea, we can accommodate the needs of fisherman, processors, restaurants and other customers. Our Hercules aircraft fly freshly caught seafood from King Salmon, Dillingham and Western Alaska to Anchorage. We transport product by truck to Anchorage from Homer, Kenai, Seward and Cordova. Seafood from Southeast Alaska travels by barge and ferry to Seattle. We also move fish from Central Alaska to Seattle by steamship and expedited highway service. We feed markets in Asia and other international locations from Anchorage, as well as distributing seafood to other domestic locations, via air, highway, and sea.

Always Fresh: Temperature-Controlled 

With much of the seafood season now encompassing the warm seasons throughout the nation, Lynden understands temperature control. When product is received via inbound air, highway or barge, it is immediately placed under refrigeration. These temperatures are continuously monitored and electronic records are kept. We have refrigerated warehouse facilities in Anchorage and in the Pacific Northwest to assure that your product is kept at the absolute perfect temperature to maintain freshness as long as possible. With Lynden’s Cool Chain you can be sure we understand the special requirements necessary with seafood logistics.
