- Fishing
- Mauritania Fish Meal Frigo operates the Akua Group 3, which was licensed to fish in Mauritanian waters as recently as 2023. It is connected to fishmeal because of the identification by Fishery Progress of Mauritania Fish Meal as a company and Akua Group 3 as a vessel that landed fish intended for fishmeal plants in 2021. Although transshipment is banned in Mauritanian waters, Akua Group 3 engaged in what Oceanmind, a maritime investigations firm, said was likely transshipment behavior in at least two incidents in 2021.
Notes
Between January 2020 and April 2026, the Akua Group 3 had at least 42 likely transshipment meetings. Its most frequent partners include Habibin Yavuz, Mamati Orhan, Habibin Enver, Korkmazlar Balicilik, and Kavramis Mahmut.
Transshipment occurs when fishing vessels offload their catch to a refrigerated carrier that transports it to port, rather than the vessel going itself. Reefers can haul catch from multiple fishing vessels at once, which makes supply chain tracing difficult.
Supply Chain
Akua Group 3 is related to at least five companies upstream, including five ships.
