POLLOCK HARVESTING 
STRATEGY
VICTOR OLERSKIY
Member of the Board of Directors at
Russian Fishery LLC
Russian Fishery Company 
has implemented 
a new strategy to 
become a world leader 
in the harvesting and 
processing of pollock. 
This strategy includes a 
number of key priorities 
to be introduced over the 
coming years.
Fleet Renewal
Part of the strategy is a renewal of 
the fleet to increase operational 
efficiency. This includes plans for 
the construction of seven new su-
per-trawlers by 2023, which will 
have improved productivity levels 
and higher ice classes. Not only 
will these vessels increase overall 
output, but employees will benefit 
further from significant improve-
ments to their working conditions.
Health and Safety Improve-
ments
Improved HSE is being implement-
ed through new procedures and 
technologies implemented across 
the RFC fleet. Employees will also 
be granted more time off as pro-
duction capacity increases.

High Value-Added Products
The output of RFC will be expanded 
to include more high value-added 
products, including ‘ready to eat’ 
and ‘ready to cook’ fish products. 
New On-Shore Plants
Two new on-shore processing 
plants are also being launched 
by RFC to increase the capacity of 
the company for offering finished 
products to the consumer.
