Polar Ice Transport

Accredited to the FTA TruckSafe Gold Standard, we strive for excellence across all areas of the business, and by treating our fleet as a critical asset rather than a cost to be managed, we provide exceptional service to our customers.

Polar Ice In-house Distribution

Polar Ice operates its own transport fleet of HGV and LGV vehicles for bulk dry ice deliveries. This gives us full control over time-sensitive deliveries which can be of a critical nature, for Ireland’s food, medical and pharmaceutical sectors. Our just-in-time delivery service guarantees excellent service levels for our customers and gives us the flexibility to act promptly on emergency requirements.

We are accredited to the FTA TruckSafe Green Gold Standard, along with ISO 9001 and BRC. All of these standards are globally recognised and it gives us great pride as an SME to be able to operate to these levels. We strive for excellence across all areas of the business, and by treating our fleet as a critical asset rather than a cost to be managed, we provide exceptional service to our customers.

We have aligned our transport operations to the FTA Ireland TruckSafe standard since 2019, and achieving the Gold Standard gives us and our customers the assurance of knowing that we operate to the highest standards of compliance. It is our ambition to make Polar Ice Ltd a sustainable, carbon neutral, supplier of dry ice products in Ireland, and meeting the new TruckSafe Green Standard is a key step in this journey. It provides independent verification that we have systems in place to reduce the environmental impact of our transport operations, such as carbon reduction policies, fuel saving measures, and are making efforts to transition to alternative fuels.

Polar Ice Drivers

Our drivers undertake annual periodic training, upskilling opportunities, and refresher courses in-house with a quality consultant for the BRC requirements.

We recognise that driving as a career is costly to the individual, so Polar Ice made the decision to financially support our employees continuous professional development with training courses (CPC, truck driving lessons, eco driving behaviour, defensive driving, forklifts, logistics, etc.).

FTA TruckSafe Gold Standard

The Freight Transport Association of Ireland (FTAI) has launched an annual audit programme – TruckSafe – which is designed to provide independent verification that HGV fleet operators are meeting, and exceeding, minimum legal requirements. Attainable in three levels – bronze, silver and gold – the TruckSafe standards will be assessed annually, and are marked on a rising scale of complexity designed to reassure operators and buyers of freight alike.
