About the Port of Valdez
Valdez is the ice-free southern terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Crude oil tankers load here for refineries on the West Coast.
Who orders beef in Valdez
Tankers and gas carriers on long voyages favor large frozen orders, and crew nationality decides how much halal beef goes on the order. Fishing vessels and processors order bulk frozen crew-mess beef packed to hold at 0°F (−18°C) through long trips. Ship chandlers in Valdez can buy from us by the case or pallet for their own vessel orders.
How delivery works
Frozen beef travels to Alaska in reefer containers on the regular liner and barge services from Puget Sound, then by truck, rail or barge to the port. Remote ports such as Dutch Harbor and Kodiak need more lead time. Fishing fleets and processors usually order before the season opens, and we can hold stock for scheduled departures.
For Valdez, we book reefer-container space ahead of the vessel's call. Your order arrives in sealed cases with the temperature record for the whole trip.
