 Blue Continent Products (Pty) Ltd ("BCP") is based in Cape Town, the heart of South Africa's major fishing industries and the main port of the bulk of the country's fishing exports. Operations in Africa are present in Cape Town, Hout Bay, Port Elizabeth and Walvis Bay. MIDWATER PELAGIC South African Operations In South Africa, BCP harvests, processes and distributes in excess of 60% of the total South African Horse Mackerel Quota in partnership with various quota holders, BCP harvests the quotas with the use of its R77 Million trawler mfv "Desert Diamond", a major first time initiative in the South African fishing industry. For more information on the Desert Diamond initiative, click here. A large percentage of the horse mackerel is exported to Africa. The company is committed to the development of the local market and is researching value added opportunities with a view to further job creation. Namibian Operations  The Namibian operations, Erongo Marine Enterprises (Pty) Ltd, are centred in Walvis Bay, a hub of the Southern African fishing industry. Here, selected joint ventures with key empowerment partners, afford us access to sustainable quotas plus a wealth of local expertise. The Namibian operation harvests, processes and distributes more than 80,000 tons of Horse Mackerel and fishmeal per annum with its 3 owned Pulkovsky Meridian / BATM type vessels the mfv "Desert Rose", mfv"Desert Ruby" and mfv "Desert Jewel", as well as making use of contracted trawlers. Approximately 50% of this tonnage is landed in the port of Walvis Bay and sold into various SADC countries, including Mocambique, South Africa, DRC, Zimbabwe and Namibia itself. The balance is primarily trans-shipped to reefer transport for sale to countries in Central and West Africa. Offshore Operations BCP procures, through its Oceana International office, over 120,000 tons of midwater pelagic fish from the Pacific Ocean, South America, North Africa and the North Atlantic. Our operations in South America, Las Palmas and Moscow and our long standing associations with established leaders in fishing and related industries provide us with a competitive international edge and ensure satisfied suppliers, customers and partners worldwide. WHITE FISH BCP processes and packages sea frozen and fresh hake products. Fresh fish operations include longlining, operating out of Cape Town, Hout Bay and Port Elizabeth. Packing takes place through our factory in Hout Bay, and products are exported under strictest conditions, ensuring freshness at all times.
