What Ocean Peace does

Ocean Peace, Inc. is a privately held U.S. commercial fishing company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington. The company operates a fleet of six vessels—four catcher/processor factory trawlers and two catcher vessels—harvesting premium wild-caught Alaskan whitefish from the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska. Its product portfolio consists of six species: Atka Mackerel, Pacific Ocean Perch, Pacific Cod, Yellowfin Sole, Rock Sole, and Flathead Sole.

The company's core technology is integrated at-sea catch, processing, and freezing aboard factory trawlers, with major vessels capable of freezing approximately 100 metric tons of finished product per day. Vessel upgrades—including a 2007 onboard factory rebuild and sponsoning at Vigor Marine that widened the flagship's beam from 36' to 50'—are designed to improve fuel efficiency, cargo capacity, and operational stability. Ocean Peace's flatfish, cod, and pollock are certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and the Alaska Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) program, and the company operates under Amendment 80 quota allocations via its memberships in the Groundfish Forum and Alaska Seafood Cooperative.

Ocean Peace generates revenue by selling processed frozen seafood products on a B2B basis to seafood distributors, grocery retailers, and food service operators, primarily in North America. Pricing is negotiated through direct enterprise relationships rather than disclosed publicly, consistent with a transaction-based commodity sales model. There is no direct consumer sales motion; marketing is limited to a corporate website, Facebook presence, and industry trade relationships, while crew recruitment is handled through an online application portal.
