Our Technology
Our first floating freezer and cold storage barge is operational
Our barge will encompass all aspects of processing in one place: fish delivery, grading and sorting, freezing, storing – you name it. This different approach to processing results in better quality, improved value, and increased efficiency. Check out a 3D rendering of our first barge in action and stay up to date with construction by subscribing to our newsletter.
The comforts of home, the conveniences of town
Circle I
Circle’s first barge brings all of the perks and necessities of town directly to the fleet. From our patented fish unloading system to our quality measurement system, we are trailblazing the future of wild seafood.
Floating Processor, Freezer & Transport
Longer than a football field, Circle’s first barge will freeze up to 500,000 pounds of fish per day to a core temperature of -40 degrees, and hold and transport more than 10 million pounds of fish in super-frozen cold storage.
Our Approach
We’ve tailored our innovations to each of Alaska’s unique salmon fisheries, from seiners in Southeast and Prince William Sound to drift and set netters in Bristol Bay. We will build more barges to service other parts of Alaska in the years beyond.
