Our vessel · M.V. Newfoundland Victor
At home in the ice. Built clean.
One of Canada’s leading factory freezer shrimp trawlers, producing more than 10,000 tonnes of shrimp a year.
Canada’s first green fishing vessel
Class notation CLEAN.
We welcomed the Newfoundland Victor to our fleet on February 4, 2017. She was built to class notation CLEAN, which sets requirements for design and equipment that reduce a ship’s impact on the environment.
CLEAN covers three things: emissions to air, discharges to sea, and what a vessel brings back to shore. It is why the Victor is known as Canada’s first green fishing vessel.
On board, a full factory deck cooks, grades and individually quick freezes the catch, so our shrimp are frozen on board, within reach of the grounds they came from.

Sustainability
More than a catchphrase.
A healthy resource decides the future of everyone who depends on it: our crews, our suppliers, our partners and our company. Permission to fish carries a responsibility to keep the resource robust for the generations that follow.
- MSC certified since 2011. One of the first fisheries in Canada certified by the Marine Stewardship Council as sustainably harvested.
- Virtually no bycatch. Award-winning bycatch separation equipment keeps other species out of the shrimp net.
- Protected areas respected. Strict codes of conduct for the growing number of marine protected areas off our coast.
- Corals and sponges avoided. Avoidance protocols for corals, sponges and other life on the seafloor.
“It’s all about balance, respect and coexistence, and we’re serious about that.”
