Since our shoreplants are often located some distance from the fishing grounds themselves, these vessels serve as remote buying stations, taking fresh salmon deliveries from fleets of small, independent fishing vessels and holding them in refrigerated seawater as they transport them back to the processing plants. Trident owns more than a dozen dedicated salmon tenders operating throughout Alaska. Others may perform charter work for fisheries research purposes. When not engaged in direct harvesting operations, some of these vessels operate as tender vessels taking deliveries of Alaska salmon from a fleet of independent fishermen. The primary target species for these vessels include Wild Alaska Pollock and Pacific cod which are harvested at various times throughout the year. Governed by federal licensing regulations, some of them operate in the Bering Sea & Aleutian Islands region, while others operate in the Gulf of Alaska. The Trident trawl catcher-vessel fleet is comprised of 15 vessels ranging in size from 84 to 165 ft.
