Trade & sourcing

Caught, tanked and flown
while it is still swimming

We consolidate nine species from roughly thirty fishing grounds and vessels at Busan and move them into East Asia on the same clock as the fish. From the sea to the tank and from the tank to the runway, we handle it ourselves.

What we can put in a tank for you

Our supply follows the season and the ground rather than the auction floor. Tell us the size grade and the destination and we will answer with what is actually possible this month.

Packing

Three ways to travel, chosen by the animal

A fish and a crab do not survive the same journey. We let physiology and flight time decide the packing mode rather than what is convenient on the day, and we keep the decision on record.

Waterless · 무수

Cooled into torpor, packed dry

Water temperature is stepped down until metabolism slows, then the animal travels out of water in a damp, oxygen-rich pack. No water means far less freight weight and no sloshing, which is why long-haul flounder, abalone and crab go this way.

Used for — flounder, abalone, king crab, snow crab

Wet pack · 활수

Sealed water, charged with oxygen

A measured volume of conditioned seawater in a sealed liner, oxygen-charged and packed inside an insulated outer. Species that cannot tolerate dry transport travel this way, at the cost of weight.

Used for — rockfish, sea bass, sea cucumber, sea squirt

Chilled · 저온

Cold and humid, no immersion

Shellfish that close and hold their own water need humidity and a stable low temperature rather than immersion. Handled in the same standardised outer so freight planning does not change.

Used for — oyster

One outer box, every mode

Whichever mode is used, the outer is the same standardised EPS container with an intermediate tray. That is deliberate: freight can only be optimised, and damage only attributed, once the unit stops changing shape.

Standard live containers

What we control

Six numbers stand between
a live shipment and a dead one

We watch these continuously in our tank hall and log them, so that when a claim arrives the answer is a record rather than a recollection.

TTemperatureStepped down to the species band and held there, never dropped in one move
DODissolved oxygenThe first thing to fall when density or temperature is wrong — monitored continuously
SALSalinityMatched to origin water, then to destination expectation
NH₃Ammonia & nitriteRises with waste and kills quietly — biofiltered and measured
pHpHMoves with ammonia and CO₂; the early warning for both
kg/m³Stocking densityHeld below the threshold where the other five start to move

Before it flies

Five steps, every shipment

01Intake & gradingWeak individuals are taken out at receipt, not discovered at the destination
02AcclimationWater is walked to the transport band over hours, not minutes
03PurgingFeeding stops so the animal travels clean and the water stays clean
04Vitality checkA final pass by hand — response, colour, shell closure
05Pack & dispatchMode by species, sealed, labelled and on the truck

Destinations

Where we can send it today

Solid lines are lanes we run today. We do not open a market until we can run it to the same standard as Busan, because opening a lane means moving that same operating manual into a local hub unchanged.

Export routes from Busan to Vietnam, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, UAE and the United States

Sourcing

We buy from the boat, not the auction

The relationships we hold directly with grounds and vessels are what make our volume and price predictable. We wanted to promise only what we could keep, and that had to come first.

Korean grounds

  • Wando — abalone
  • Tongyeong — oyster, sea squirt
  • Jeju — flounder, turban shell, turbot
  • Southern coast — rockfish, sea bass

Imported raw

  • Russia & Japan — snow crab, king crab
  • China — hair crab
  • US & Canada — lobster
  • Around 30 grounds and vessels in the network
Port of Busan
01

Demand is climbing

Korean seafood exports hit USD 3.33B in 2025, a record. Flounder up 9.0%, crab meat up 7.5%.

Vessel
02

Korea is the natural hub

Russian and Japanese catch already transits Korea for bond, inspection and water.

Packing
03

Retail wants small and varied

Large channels now ask for many species in small lots — exactly what single-species operators cannot do.

We will come back with what is possible, and what it costs.
