ABOUT US

WE’RE A SUSTAINABLE TUNA PROCESSING COMPANY

PT Laut Biru Seafood (LBS), is a newly established tuna processing company. Supported by The Ocean Union and The Meloy Fund, LBS  processes from its dedicated manufacturing plant in Bitung North Sulawesi, Indonesia. 

Our principal products processed in our fully certified North Sulawesi plant  include high quality yellowfin tuna loins, saku blocks, steaks, ground meat and cubes. LBS products can be  fresh-chilled, frozen, seared, TS / CO-treated and non-treated tuna.

Our principal markets geographically are the United States of America and Indonesia.

At LBS our procurement team is fully committed to procuring 100% of our fish from Hand Line Fisheries.

WE ARE FULLY COMPLIANT

WE SAY NO TO ANY ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED AND UNREGULATED FISHING

LBS will not purchase any fish from vessels that are involved in any form of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated  (IUU) fishing practices. 

We are fully in compliance with all the government regulations regarding IUU regulations that translate through the necessity of a Catch Certificate from all the fish that we process. 

LBS will also not buy any fish caught in marine reserves or marine protected areas. Similarly for any fish illegally transhipped.

All our fish are supported by full legal documentation of where it is caught in our Indonesian waters. Supported by our investors The Ocean Union & The Meloy Fund we are able to provide funding to improve traceability and importantly, how to keep fish fresh on board prior to landing ensuring the fisherman and his family gets the best price for the fish he has caught. In return we get fully traceable, premium quality yellowfin tuna. 

Our ambition is to be the leading sustainable tuna supplier in Indonesia. It is not a journey we have started lightly and there are many obstacles we have to overcome but, the advantage we have is that we have a committed team, committed investors, amazing customers and a supply chain that understands we are different and want to work differently.
