One of the world's largest shipping companies established in Sweden, building the foundation for what would become Cool Carriers half a century later.

Founded in 1984 on the foundations of Salén Shipping, we have grown from a regional reefer operator into the world's largest specialised refrigerated fleet — a position we reached not by accident, but by staying focused on one thing while others diversified. With offices in Cyprus, Sweden, Chile, United States, South Africa and New Zealand, we operate where our clients need us, season after season.
Cargo
From fresh fruit to frozen protein — with precision at every stage, we carry the world's most time-sensitive cargo.
Values
The values behind our work
Speed matters. Reliability matters more. These are the values that define how we operate — from the routes we run to the relationships we build.
Precision matters
A degree off-temperature can cost a season's harvest. We take that responsibility seriously.
Always direct
No shortcuts, no middlemen, no unnecessary stops. Straight to the point — in everything we do.
People first
We believe the best logistics are built on relationships — with our clients, our crew and our partners.
Built to last
We think in seasons, not transactions. Long-term partnerships are the foundation of everything we build.
“We built Cool Carriers around a simple belief — perishable cargo deserves a dedicated operator. We go direct, we move fast, and we make decisions quickly. That's what our clients need, and that's what we deliver — every route, every season.”
- Mikhail Ganyushin, Chief Executive Officer
