About
GVECO operates a large-capacity cold storage facility, capable of holding up to 4000 metric tons, equipped with continuous cooling and maintenance services hourly, seven days a week. This facility stands as the first and only one of its kind in the region, situated in Tartus, Syria, one of the pivotal ports in the area. The design and construction of this cold storage were carried out by GRASSO Germany.

Unloading and Handling Fresh Fruit Shipments from Vessels to Cold Storage
Handling fresh fruit requires a precise logistics process that ensures product quality and food safety at every step. At our facility, we follow the highest cold chain and food-handling standards from the moment shipments arrive at the port until they enter our temperature-controlled storage chambers:
Initial Inspection Onboard the Vessel
At the start of unloading, our specialized team:
- Measures the temperature inside refrigerated containers or cargo holds.
- Verifies packaging integrity and checks for moisture or visible damage.
- Confirms shipment details with documentation (Bill of Lading – Packing List).
Unloading Using Certified Cargo Handling Systems
Cargo is offloaded with strict guidelines to protect sensitive produce:
- Minimizing exposure time to ambient outdoor temperatures.
- Keeping goods on clean, elevated platforms.
- Avoiding shocks or rough handling that may damage fruit.
Quality and Health Inspection at the Port Yard
After unloading, the shipment undergoes:
- Ripeness, humidity, and visual condition checks.
- Random sampling to confirm microbiological safety.
- Evaluation of logistical indicators (aroma, color, firmness, internal temperature).
Maintaining an Unbroken Cold Chain
To maintain product stability, we:
- Pre-cool trucks before loading.
- Monitor temperature and humidity during transportation.
- Use optimized, direct routes to minimize transit time.
Receiving and Documentation at the Facility
Upon arrival:
- Temperature logs are reviewed.
- Shipments are moved into a refrigerated receiving area.
- Batch records and traceability documents are issued.
Storage in Refrigerated or CA Rooms
Shipments are placed in specialized cooling chambers:
- Temperature settings adjusted per fruit type.
- CA systems regulate oxygen, CO₂, and humidity.
- Sensor-based monitoring with automated alerts.

Each feature is engineered to maintain ideal storage conditions for a wide range of products — guaranteeing consistent quality, freshness, and compliance with international standards:
Stable Temperature and Product Safety
The control system allows precise temperature adjustment within a range of 1 to 25°C, ensuring stable conditions that preserve product quality without spoilage. Our facility also includes two chambers capable of reaching –30°C, suitable for deep-freeze storage of sensitive goods.
Flexible Cooling Systems Based on Product Requirements
Independent cooling units operating with Freon blast-freezing technology enable rapid temperature pull-down. When products do not require cooling or freezing, the system can be switched to ventilation or drying mode to provide optimal storage conditions.
Hygienic and Food-Safe Storage Environment
Storage areas maintain controlled humidity and ventilation, with an interior design that supports easy cleaning and reduces condensation and mold. This ensures a hygienic environment aligned with food safety standards.
Reliability and Backup Power Availability
A backup power system maintains continuous cooling during power outages, protecting stored goods and eliminating risk of temperature fluctuations.
Controlled Atmosphere (CA) Chambers for Long-Term Storage
Special CA rooms with airtight sealing and controlled gas composition support long-term preservation and maintain product freshness for extended periods.
Remote Monitoring and Control
Continuous temperature monitoring with instant alerts in case of any deviation, providing full visibility and peace of mind. Balanced airflow prevents freezing or spoilage of goods, while the interior layout supports efficient product organization and space utilization.
