Cold Storage Facility

VFDA recognized a need for local cold storage to promote the development of fish products and renewable fisheries resources, and to compliment the Fisheries Business Incubator Program. In partnership with the US Department of Commerce Economic Development Association (EDA), the VFDA Regional Cold Storage Facility was built and completed in June of 2012.

This modern facility provides needed cold storage to the Prince William Sound Economic Development Region, and promotes local economic development for local seafood processors, fishermen and other businesses in Valdez and the surrounding areas.

The facility has a holding capacity of greater than 11,000 cubic feet. It is temperature controlled at –10 degrees and is monitored 24/7. The facility also has commercial ice, as well as blast freezing capabilities upon request. Please call ahead for details.
