Fresh Freight Tasmania was established in 2003 to address the specific logistics challenges faced by Tasmania’s perishable goods industries. Based at 59 Cove Hill Road in Bridgewater (southern Tasmania), with a northern depot at Legana near Launceston, the company provides temperature-controlled freight forwarding across Bass Strait and throughout Tasmania.
The company serves Tasmania’s horticulture, aquaculture, agriculture, dairy, meat, and seafood sectors, all of which depend on reliable cold chain logistics to reach mainland and international markets. Fresh Freight operates seven days a week to meet the time-sensitive demands of perishable product supply chains.
With dedicated facilities in both the south and north of Tasmania, Fresh Freight provides statewide pickup coverage and coordinates Bass Strait crossings to maintain unbroken cold chain integrity from Tasmanian farms and processors to mainland distribution points.
