About Fishing
2100 CBM Purse Seiner
2300 DWT Clean Oil Tanker
|
 |
Our fleet is one of the largest volume fleets in the world and
is a major player in the world tuna industry. Our fishing division
has an extensive history in Taiwan. We were instrumental in establishing
the Taiwanese fishing industry and have lead the industry in new
technology, methods and innovation for almost 40 years. We presently
use helicopters aboard our purse seiners to spot fish as well as
satellite oceanography information to find fish.
In addition to our fleet of purse seiners, we also own and operate
a 5,300 T Reefer Carrier and one clean oil product tanker. Our ships
operate in the waters of the Western Central Pacific Ocean which
includes the waters of the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guniea, Kiribati,
Marshall Islands and Micronesia. Fong Seong's trade partners in
the Far East include Itochu of Japan; Tri-Marine and Thai Union
of Thailand and Century Canning Company of the Philippines. Furthermore,
we are active, contributing members of the World Tuna Purse Seine
Organization (WTPO) and fully support their efforts in tuna preservation
and conservation. We have also been active with the Convention on
the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks
in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPFC) and have participated
in the preparatory meetings to establish the administrative framework
for the new Commission.
