We fish

54 vessels in the Southern Hemisphere

We have been sailing around the world in search of the best fishing grounds since 1961. We were pioneers in the construction of the first vessel with on-board freezing technology. Other vessels followed, which at the time where the largest freezer vessels in the world and the first to process fish offshore.

Our fleet is currently made up of 54 vessels, both freezer vessels and wet-fish trawlers, operating in the main fishing grounds of the southern hemisphere, fishing and selecting the best marine species. Trawlers, beam trawlers, squid fishing vessels and longline vessels specialized in hake, monkfish, panfred and kinglip fishing in Namibia, shrimps and different species of prawns fishing in Mozambique, red shrimp, deep-water rose shrimp and crab fishing in Angola and Argentinean red shrimp, illex squid and hake (also known as toothfish) fishing in Argentina.
