WHY SHIPPERS CHOOSE MICSF

We care for your inventory. Without the headaches.

Each, case, and pallet picking. Custom labeling, kitting, and value-added services tailored to your downstream channels.

Integrated with Eimskip at the IMT. We handle the port-to-warehouse leg, the customs handoff, and the billing — one invoice.

— Built in Maine. For Maine.

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.
