Independent Fleet

Our commitment to independent fishermen is more than the fish.

It all starts with you, our fishermen.

You are the cornerstone of our business. We would not exist without your hard work and sacrifice. We are dependent on your ability to catch the best the ocean has to offer – doing it with more skill and care than anyone else. That’s why you can count on us to be your solid ground and safe harbor. We are committed to providing the support and services that you need to operate both safely and successfully. The future of our company depends on your success, and by working together to strengthen our bond, we will prosper together for many years to come. You are part of our family.

Partnership

The best fishermen in the world partner with Trident because we care for each other as a family. Our livelihoods, and often our lives, depend on it. This partnership with our nearly 1400 independent fishing vessels is one of the most valued pieces of our business. Season after season, these Captains and their crews choose to fish for Trident. Many of the partnerships with our fishermen have carried on through 3 generations of fishing families.

Service

Our Fleet Management team is committed to providing the best service in Alaska. We have teams throughout Alaska and the Lower 48 ordering parts, providing groceries and fuel, moving nets, and freight, and scheduling to keep our harvesting partners focused on the fishing grounds. We employ many former fishermen who understand the complexity of these operations. Their experience creates a solid foundation of understanding and respect for why we work so diligently to service our harvesting partners. We measure success by our ability to serve the Fleets and Communities in which we operate while assisting our fleet in achieving safe and productive fishing.

Advocacy

At Trident, we are committed to supporting robust, science-driven management, with a long-term approach that ensures that our future generations have a place to fish. Fishing is what we have always done and, if managed sustainably, is what we will always do. With rapidly changing ocean, market, and trade conditions, collaboration and advocacy focused on a strong seafood sector is urgent. This urgency requires trust in well-directed science and commitment to adaptation and innovation. We are mutually reliant on each other and we need to work together to ensure that we both succeed.
