Bergfrost is soon to start a new line of business, with a brand new dry storage facility coming online later this year (2026). Potential markets for dry storage services include vessels calling at Fuglafjørður, some of whom are already cold store clients, plus larger domestic businesses and organizations in need of dry storage. For air and climate quality, the facility features both temperature and humidity control systems, Bergfrost managing director Símin Pauli Sivertsen said.
“This is about ambient storage of non-perishable goods at a relatively large scale,” he noted. “It cannot be compared to the small-scale dry storage service we offered in the office building, which was much more limited in scope and quality. So we’ll be launching temperature and air humidity controlled dry storage services as a dedicated line of business.”
The 5,000-square meter dry storage hall is powered by reverse cycle heating to save energy. “Cold store coolers generate a lot of heat exhaust, so utilizing that heat for the dry storage facility was an obvious choice, for both environmental and economic reasons,” Mr. Sivertsen said. “Now with this modern and spacious dry storage hall about to be completed, we’re looking to boost our service offering to existing clients as well as to reach out to a new clientele. We have noted a certain level of demand when it comes dry storage and we’re going to explore any number of opportunities.”
