Refrigeration for fishing

Cold from catch to frozen product, preserving the freshness of fish on board, at reception and in the plant.

Understand the process.
Define the solution.

Fish quality depends on how fast its temperature drops after catch. We design refrigerated seawater, freezing and cold storage systems for fishing vessels and processing plants.

Applications and requirements

Refrigerated seawater (RSW)

RSW systems to chill fish on board or at plant reception, with seawater at a controlled temperature.

Freezing

Freezing tunnels for whole fish, fillets and portions, at the pace of the processing line.

Cold rooms and machine room

Frozen storage rooms and ammonia machine rooms for fish processing plants.

Before selecting equipment

Decisions that guide the project

Your operational conditions define the design. These are the key aspects to review from the start.

  • Catch volume and landing hours
  • Species and product format
  • Target temperatures for fresh and frozen product
  • Available space on board or in the plant and planned expansions

Tell us what you need to solve.

What does your vessel or plant need to keep the catch in better condition?

To get started, you can share:

  • The process or facility and its location.
  • Current situation and project objective.
  • Existing equipment and available operating data.
  • Current stage and desired scope.

You do not need a complete RFP to start a conversation.
