Northwest Fisheries Consortium Consortium home Ships Products English About consortium Contacts About consortium The non-profit partnership "North-West Fishery Consortium" (Consortium) was registered in 2002 as a result of the merger of a number of fishing companies in the North-West region into a single professional organization. The first companies that are part of the Consortium began their activities in Murmansk and Petrozavodsk in 1993 by fishing for cod and haddock and supplying it to consumers chilled. Then the Consortium grew by acquiring Russian and foreign-built vessels in order to increase production volumes and expand the range of products. Currently, the Consortium has one of the largest fleets in the Northern fisheries basin, consisting of fishing vessels and crab processors. The Consortium has specialized subdivisions for supplying the fleet, repairing ships, transshipment and storage of cargo, training and retraining of the ship's personnel. Fish and crab are processed both on board ships and in our onshore factories. Our offices: - St. Petersburg Management Company - Moscow Representation

Northwest Fisheries Consortium Consortium home Ships Products English general information Bottom fish species Kamchatka crab general information Fishing vessels of the Consortium (both crab and fishing) are equipped with everything necessary for the production of finished products on the high seas during fishing. Freshly caught fish and crab go straight to the factory on board the fishing vessel, where the raw materials are processed into finished products. Then the finished product is frozen, packed in a container and enters the freezing hold, where it is stored before being loaded onto a transport ship or unloaded ashore at the port. All products are made from raw materials obtained from their natural habitat, and the use of modern, appropriately certified equipment in factories allows us to produce competitive, in-demand products that meet the highest requirements of world standards.

Northwest Fisheries Consortium Consortium home Ships Products English general information Crab catchers Cracker general information The Consortium's fleet includes more than 20 fishing and support vessels. Foreign-built fodder freezer trawlers and PST-type vessels are used for fishing. Such vessels can catch bottom fish species (such as cod, haddock) with bottom trawls in the North-East Atlantic, in the Barents and Norwegian Seas. On board the vessels there are factories for the processing of catches, which produce finished products, including fillets. Then the products are reloaded at sea to transport vessels for further delivery to the port or delivered to the port directly by fishing vessels. For crab fishing, medium-tonnage trawlers are used, completely re-equipped for specialized crab fishing with crab traps. Crab fishing vessels hunt Kamchatka (king) crab and opilio snow crab in the Barents Sea. Finished products are produced on board crab fishing vessels, then they are loaded onto transport ships at sea for delivery to the port or delivered and unloaded at the port by crab fishing vessels.
