Northline Seafoods is excited to announce its return as a buyer for the 2025 Bristol Bay salmon season.
In 2024, Northline Seafoods completed construction of the Hannah, a fully integrated, floating seafood freezing platform designed to improve efficiency in wild salmon processing. The project was propelled by a $40 million Food Supply Chain loan backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as part of the Build Back Better initiative.
However, the Hannah’s inaugural season was disrupted by an electrical fire beneath one of its three spiral freezers just days before the peak of the Bristol Bay season. Despite this setback, Northline continued operations through the season. They remained engaged with the fleet and the fishery, completing the 2024 season as the last Bristol Bay salmon buyer in the region.
“It has been a year of challenges and progress, and we are grateful for the support of our investors, customers, fleet, and stakeholders,” said Ben Blakey, CEO of Northline Seafoods. “We look forward to a prosperous 2025 salmon season.”
Northline Seafoods continues to develop its integrated seafood processing model, aiming to enhance efficiency from harvest to market. With the support of key partners, the company remains committed to innovation and improvement as it prepares for the upcoming season.
