The Northeast's newest cold storage — built for you.
106,000 sq. ft. of fresh and frozen storage, brand-new in 2024 on the Portland waterfront. We care for your inventory like it’s our own — easier to work with, faster to onboard, and priced below the legacy players. Any pallet count. Any industry. Anywhere you ship.
Fresh & frozen
We care for your inventory. Without the headaches.
Cold storage has a reputation for being slow, rigid, and expensive. MICSF was built to flip that — new infrastructure, modern tech, and rates that respect your margins. We care for your inventory like it's our own, whether you ship one pallet or one thousand a week.
Easy to work with
One point of contact from quote to BOL — no handoffs, no call-center loops. Plain-language paperwork, flexible storage agreements, and a team that picks up the phone. The cold chain shouldn't be the hard part of your week.
Fast implementation
We move at your speed. Synapse WMS onboarding, EDI & API setup, and dock scheduling all run in parallel — not in series. Move freight, not paperwork.
Lower-cost provider
New build, modern automation, and an efficient CO₂ refrigeration plant let us offer frozen storage and handling rates that consistently come in below the legacy Northeast players — without cutting corners on food safety or service.
Cold storage. Done right.
MICSF is purpose-built for shippers who need their product carefully held, tightly monitored, and quickly turned. One team, one inventory portal, one straightforward way to work with us — for fresh and frozen alike.
Frozen storage
Built for hard-frozen seafood, ice cream and frozen desserts, frozen produce, and frozen meats — anything that needs to stay solidly frozen for long-term holding or export.
Refrigerated storage
For fresh seafood, dairy, produce, and other chilled goods that need consistent cold-chain handling and quick turn through the dock. Talk to us about your inventory and we’ll size the right solution.
Talk to a planner →A full cold-chain partner. Not just a warehouse.
We're not just a warehouse. Taylor Logistics has run cold-chain operations for decades — and we bring the full operating playbook to every customer at MICSF.
Cross-docking
High-velocity inbound-to-outbound transfer with no long-term storage charge. Move freight in and out the same day.
Transloading
Move product between modes — ocean container to truck, rail to truck, container to LTL — without breaking the cold chain.
Pick & Pack
Each, case, and pallet picking. Custom labeling, kitting, and value-added services tailored to your downstream channels.
Drayage Coordination
Integrated with Eimskip at the IMT. We handle the port-to-warehouse leg, the customs handoff, and the billing — one invoice.
Synapse WMS by Made4Net
Tier-1 cloud warehouse management — real-time inventory, lot/date control, and reporting. EDI 940/943/944/945 and full REST API on day one.
USDA Partnership
We partner with shippers on USDA-CVD and broader USDA requirements — inspection coordination, documentation handling, and import/export support for animal-origin product.
The closest U.S. port to Europe. Right next door.
Portland is the closest U.S. East Coast port to Europe — with less congestion than NY/NJ, faster transit from Iceland and Scandinavia, and a clean shot to Boston, Montreal, and the entire Northeast.

Fast facts at a glance
We're proud to be part of Portland.
MICSF isn't a national chain dropping a building on the waterfront. We live here, raise families here, and care about what happens to this community — supporting local non-profits, partnering with the Maine fishing fleet, and giving the next generation of Maine food producers and entrepreneurs a real shot at scaling without leaving the state.
The Maine fishing fleet
From independent boat owners to multi-generational seafood houses, we keep Maine catch cold and moving — Portland Fish Pier to your dock, with the cold chain unbroken.
Local producers & small business
Maine farmers, dairies, breweries, bakeries, specialty food makers — we keep cold storage accessible for the small operators who make this state's food economy what it is.
Non-profits & community partners
We give back where we operate — supporting Portland-area non-profits, food-security organizations, and community programs that strengthen the people and places we call home.
The next generation of Maine entrepreneurs
Got a frozen product line, a CPG concept, or an export-ready business? You don't need to leave Maine to scale. We'll grow with you, from your first pallet on up.
