Freezing in Freshness

Cold Chain Management

Cold chain management is a critical factor in keeping the fish fresh and flavorful. At Sarangani Bay, all our freshly harvested fish are immediately chilled on ice from the time they are taken out of the water until they are processed in our plant. They are then blast frozen and finally stored at –18 degrees centigrade.

We maintain our own ice plant that produces 30 metric tons of fresh clean ice within the plant to facilitate the production of fish and seafood that are as fresh–tasting as possible.

At our processing plant, we have three batch–type blast freezer units with a combined capacity of 8.5 metric tons per day, and the state-of-the-art Frigoscandia Spiral freezer with a capacity of 5 metric tons per day. Our on–site cold storage facility has a rated capacity to store 300 metric tons of finished products.
