Industrial fishing
Fish consumption is increasing worldwide and the increase in consumer requirements keeps pace with this development.
More demands on quantity and quality determine the face of present-day sea fishing. The fish processing business revolves mostly around keeping the quick-cool and quick-freeze times to a minimum.
This begins on board the ships directly after the fish are caught. Advanced, robust and reliable systems are required to achieve such goals.
GEA Marine Refrigeration Solutions designs and delivers tailor made refrigeration systems that satisfy the high standards of efficiency and ease of use.
We serve the following types of vessels in the fishing industry:
- Trawlers (pelagic and bottom)
- Crab catchers
- Tuna seiners
- Long liners
- Shrimp trawlers
Refrigeration systems
The consumption quality of fish is determined by the way in which the catch is handled in the first hours on board the fishing vessel.
The optimum quality of freshly caught fish can only be preserved through quick, controlled, and hygienic refrigeration and freezing of the fish. This calls for powerful, reliable refrigeration systems.
Whatever your requirement, GEA Marine supplies complete solutions in various subsystems:
- RSW systems – refrigerated sea water
- Chilled process seawater systems
- Freezing
- With plate freezers
- In tunnels
- Immersion in brine
- NH3/CO2 freezing systems

A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
Closing the loop: key lessons for breweries from OeTTINGER
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
