Maldives · Since 2001

Premium Maldivian Yellowfin Tuna, exported chilled by air.

We process and export chilled Yellowfin Tuna (loins, saku, steaks, belly and whole fish) from the Maldives’ first EU-standard approved floating factory, right beside Velana International Airport.

Why buyers work with us

Our factory is next to the airport, so your fish is on a plane soon after it’s landed.

  • An airport-side factory

    Our floating factory sits beside Velana International Airport, so fish goes from the boat to the factory to a flight with little waiting in between.

  • Chilled straight away

    Boats unload directly at the factory. Fish is chilled, graded and processed in temperature-controlled rooms, and temperatures are monitored until dispatch.

  • Traceable lots

    Every lot is recorded from landing to shipment in our inventory system.

  • Cut and packed to your spec

    Loin grades, portion sizes and cut dimensions to order. Vacuum packed, with custom labels and barcodes on request.

Our story

We started with one boat in 2001.

Ocean Fresh started with a single boat and a small crew. Today we run long-line and hand-line fishing vessels, cargo ships, fuel barges and a modern ice plant, alongside our own processing factory.

We were the first company in the Maldives to establish an EU-standard approved floating fish processing factory (MDV-012). It sits next to Velana International Airport, so fish can be offloaded, processed and flown out quickly.
