Blue Harvest Fisheries has announced the acquisition of seven scallop vessels and related shoreside assets from Harbour Blue Seafood.
The purchase means that Blue Harvest now owns 15 scallop vessels and operates facilities in Virginia and Massachusetts.
Jeff Davis, president and CEO of Blue Harvest: “Blue Harvest is now clearly positioned as an industry leader in terms of access to the highly valuable Atlantic sea scallop resource.”
He added: “The acquisition of HBS and its related infrastructure in New Bedford, Massachusetts establishes a northern fleet and complements our existing Newport News, Virginia based fleet.”
The company hopes that the acquisition will expand its overall product portfolio.
