Seawork being the best hake fish supplier catches approximately 10.000 metric tons of whole round hake per annum. Our daily production capacity is ± 25 metric tons of hake fish. As written in our previous blogs, all hake fish are filleted by hand in order to ensure that the best quality products are being offered to our clients.
Seawork also respect green marketing. As Economic growth of our business is accompanied by environmental balance of the oceanic ecosystem, it is therefore inevitable to sustain well grown fishing populations and numerous measures to do so have been taken by the Namibian government and most Namibian fishing associations and companies.
Since consumers are becoming more and more aware of the importance of sustainable resources the Namibian Government and fishing companies are striving to become MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) awarded.
Since sustainability is a big issue to SEAWORK, we have already been accredited with the MSC - Chain of Custody certificate. This entitles us to handle MSC certified fish from sustainable resources all over the globe, and we are making sure, every hake fish product either frozen hake fillet or hake fillets leaving our factory can be traced from raw material level to the individual packing and sealing the product itself.
Furthermore the Namibian fishing industry is bound to very strict restrictions, e.g. TAC (Total allowable catch quotas) which ensures the ecological balance of the population during the fishing season.
In addition, Trawling for Hake fish is not permitted in less than 200 m depth, in order not to affect other species natural habitat and to minimize by-catch.
The WWF states that Namibian and South African Hake fish is not being overfished and is therefore a good choice when buying fish.
