The Challenge

Keeping sustainable salmon at perfect temps

Keeping a fishing vessel running costs thousands of dollars a day. Every one of the company’s vessels needs to be filled to maximize productivity and efficiency. The company needed an efficient, cost-effective way to keep the fish they catch and fillet at sea fresh and cool. By law, vessels must store their catch in chilled water in the hold of their vessels until they reach land. But keeping such a large quantity of fish cool isn’t easy. In some cases, fishing vessels use a combination of fans and bags of ice to cool the fish manually; but using so much ice is far from sustainable and often very expensive. Most importantly, these manual cooling solutions are rarely efficient enough to keep vessels cool reliably and consistently. Without an efficient cooling system, the company would be forced to reduce the size of each catch significantly. They needed powerful, efficient cooling systems for its fishing vessels. So, they turned to us – their partner for nearly a decade – for support.
