Rimfrost harvest krill sustainably in pristine Antarctic waters and have commissioned an environmentally-friendly fishing vessel. Our patented extraction technology has improved the oil extraction process to produce krill oil more sustainably and at the same time take better care of the krill nutrients.
Antarctic krill live in the pristine Antarctic ocean. They contain a high concentration of omega-3 phospholipids. Omega-3s that are bound to phospholipids are easily absorbed by the body. This means our krill oil is a rich source of omega-3s for dietary supplementation.
The overall annual krill catch is only about 0.3% of the krill biomass. Our unique extraction process means we use 30% less krill than most other companies.
Antarctic krill are a very important element of the Antarctic ecosystem. We are committed to ensuring our operations are sustainable and do not affect this ecosystem. This is crucial for the well-being of the Antarctic, as well as our business.
We are in it for the long haul, and the preservation of the Antarctic ecosystem alongside a sustainable commercial krill fishery is vital for the future of our business. Our world-leading innovation means we take better care of krill nutrients and use 30% less krill than most other companies, helping to guarantee the sustainability of Rimfrost krill products.
We are proud to say we control the entire value chain from krill harvesting to product, therefore we can guarantee 100% traceability.
In accordance with Norwegian requirements, we report our catch data electronically by satellite on a daily basis both to Norwegian authorities and CCAMLR. We always know in real-time how much, where and when the krill has been caught. All our products can be traced back to the GPS coordinates and the exact time of catching the krill. We have transparency in all our operations and we wish to see this in the industry as a whole, as we believe this is a crucial element of credibility.
We are committed to ensuring our operations are sustainable and do not affect this ecosystem. This is crucial for the well-being of the Antarctic, as well as our business.
Our certifications and memberships are a hallmark for us and a message to the market that Rimfrost products are harvested in a sustainable, environmentally-friendly manner.
We are always improving our products and processes. An example of this is our new fishing vessel, designed to revolutionise krill fishing in Antarctica.
With the help of Kongsberg Maritime we are building a vessel that will help us conduct one of the world’s most environmentally-friendly fishing operations. We considered emission levels, energy efficiency, safety and performance to ensure we operate in line with stringent international legislation surrounding fishing operations in polar regions.
The vessel has the technology to allow krill to be processed onboard, ensuring efficiency and sustainability. It also contains features like heat recovery and diesel electric propulsion to ensure energy-efficient operation and easy maneuvering. There are safety and system redundancies in place, vital when you’re in the Antarctic.
We believe our new vessel will set a new environmental and sustainability standard for fishing and operations in Antarctica, and set Norway, Rimfrost and Kongsberg at the very front of that movement.
