Royale Marine Impex

What Royale Marine Impex does

Royale Marine Impex PVT. LTD. is an Indian seafood exporter headquartered in Bapatla, operating a fully vertically integrated shrimp value chain that spans Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) hatchery production, contract and own-farm aquaculture, Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) processing, cold-chain storage, and direct export to international buyers. The company produces SPF Nauplii (15 billion annually) and post-larvae (2.5–3 billion annually), cultivates approximately 6,000 tons of shrimp per year across own and client farms, and processes product through two JBT (Sweden) IQF lines rated at 925 kg/hr each, with 2,100-pallet Schaefer (Germany) cold storage and GEA Ecoflex (Germany) flake ice capacity of 60 tons per day. A Johnson Controls PLC/SCADA refrigeration control system and an in-house laboratory support end-to-end traceability from hatchery to end consumer.

The company sells into seven geographic markets — the USA, Europe, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East — under a portfolio of premium food-safety credentials including BAP 4 Star, BRC Grade AA, HACCP, FSSC 22000, and US FDA GMP 21 CFR Part 110. Leadership comprises three directors: Mr. Vegesana Narendra Varma Raju, Mr. C. Vijay Kumar, and Mr. M. Sudhakaran. The company's revenue model is B2B export of frozen shrimp (likely commodity IQF packs as well as value-added SKUs), priced on prevailing international shrimp FOB rates, with no disclosed pricing tiers, branded retail lines, or named end-customer contracts. Commercial positioning is supported by participation in international trade platforms such as the Brussels Seafood Expo in 2015, targeting regulated retail and foodservice buyers who require the certification stack Royale Marine Impex has assembled.
