About Ocean Fresh

A Maldivian fisheries company since 2001.

Founded in 2001 with one boat and a small crew, Ocean Fresh now catches, processes and exports premium Yellowfin Tuna.

Our story

25 years in Maldivian fisheries

We started with a single boat. Today we run long-line and hand-line vessels, cargo ships, fuel barges, a modern ice plant and 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.

Our mission

To supply the best Yellowfin Tuna we can, caught responsibly in the Maldives.

We buy from local Maldivian fishermen, follow strict food safety and traceability rules, and work to limit our impact on the ocean.

We want buyers to keep ordering from us for years, so we keep improving how we catch, process and ship.
