Blue North to Help Manage Prowler Fisheries' Alaskan Fleet of Hook-and-Line Catcher Processors
SEAFOODNEWS.COM [SeafoodNews] February 22, 2016
Prowler Fisheries has reached a combined management for Seattle-based Blue North Fisheries to manage its five hook-and-line catcher processors currently operating in the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska.
Additionally, Blue North Trading, a fully-owned subsidiary of Blue North will market and sell all of the frozen-at-sea products produced by the Prowler vessels starting during the pollock B Season.
“Blue North and Prowler are broadly recognized as industry leaders in the harvesting and production of Frozen at Sea Alaska Line Caught Cod,” said Larry Cotter, Prowler Fisheries LLC’s managing partner and APICDA CEO. “Our agreement will enhance both companies’ strength and market agility. We believe the benefits will be far-reaching: vessel crews will see a continued focus on quality and efficiency, an increased presence in Dutch Harbor Alaska and great support from the Seattle Blue North team. Further, the agreement allows efficiencies to be shared by Blue North and Prowler in everything from insurance, fuel and groceries to repairs, compliance and documentation.”
