- Fishing
- Between 2019 and 2024, the Bukhta Preobrazheniya likely bottom trawled for 9,946 hours (414 days). Bottom trawling is a fishing tactic in which a vessel tows a net, often hundreds of feet wide, along the ocean floor. Bottom trawling is a particularly destructive form of fishing because of its bluntness: anything in the net's path–including non-target species, coral reefs, and dolphins–is swept up, often fatally.
- Health & Safety
- On July 27, 2023 the Kamchatka Territorial Department of the State Maritime Supervision issued a formal warning to the shipowner, PJSC Preobrazhenskaya Base of Trawler Fleet, over violations of mandatory safety requirements aboard the vessel Bukhta Preobrazheniya. An inspection by the captain of the seaport of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky identified non-compliance with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), including deficiencies in fire safety, lifesaving equipment, and the vessel’s design and equipment. The violations were attributed to a non-functioning technical maintenance system for the ship and its critical equipment.
Notes
Between January 2020 and April 2026, the Bukhta Preobrazheniya had at least 62 likely transshipment meetings. Its most frequent partners include Pilenga 2, Pilenga, Aniva, Kapitan Kolesnikov, and Mys Datta.
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
Bukhta Preobrazheniya is related to at least five companies upstream, including five ships, as well as five companies downstream, including one plant, and four importers.
