Factory Fillet Trawlers
Talley's deep sea factory freezer trawlers are all approximately 60 to 70 metres in length and go to sea for six weeks at a time with a crew of around 35 men and women. They process fish into fillets within hours of being caught, processing the catch onboard to customers specifications - frozen-at-sea fillet, block or head and gutted form. Onboard fishmeal plants process the waste product so everything is utilised.

Amaltal Columbia
The flagship of the fleet, the Amaltal Columbia leads the world in fishing technology.
The ship was the world's first factory freezer trawler to be registered with ISO 9002 certification, an internationally recognised standard which assures customers of consistent high product quality.
The ship has extensive capabilities to process all waste products for recycling or non-polluting disposal. Even the ship's boilers are able to run on waste fish oil.

Amaltal Atlantis
The Amaltal Atlantis is a sister vessel to the Amaltal Columbia.
The Amaltal Atlantis was purchased following the successful operation of Amaltal Columbia in New Zealand waters and has now been converted to a twin trawl net system, the first in New Zealand.
Amaltal Atlantis production facilities are among the most up to date in any fishing vessel and it continues to achieve the high production quality standard now consistently proven by the Talley's deep sea fleet.

Amaltal Enterprise
The Amaltal Enterprise is the most recent addition to Amaltal's fishing Fleet.
This vessel has enabled Talley's deep sea division to put more fishing effort into the southern ocean, where the harsh sea conditions require a larger vessel with more horse power providing a stable working platform.
The vessel has also allowed Talley's deep sea division to increase the product lines through having a much larger factory area to work with. This allows the company to produce more value added products whilst still at sea.

Bottom Longliners
The Talley's deep sea fleet includes two joint venture automated bottom longliners, which fish for Ling using hooks strung on long lines. The hooks are baited automatically and the lines are released very fast. Many thousands of hooks are set each day, the retrieval and setting of these hooks is a continuous 24 hour a day operation.
|
Janas
The Janas goes to sea for six weeks at a time. It has a factory for processing Ling into fillets which are frozen in packs, ready for market, within hours of being caught. The vessel also has a fishmeal plant.
During the summer the vessel operates in the New Zealand Antarctic Zone for Toothfish (Dissostichus Mawsoni) and carrying out research under full CCAMLR (Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources) licence.
The vessel spends 2½ months working the icy waters of the Ross Sea before returning back to New Zealand. It operates under the brand name of New Zealand Longline.

Fresh Fishing Trawlers
Our deep sea fresh fish trawlers catch mainly Hoki along with smaller amounts of Orange Roughy, Oreo Dory, and are based at Nelson. They fish for five to seven days at a time and keep their catch chilled in ice. At the completion of each trip the fish is unloaded and processed immediately in a shore based processing factory.
|
Amaltal Mariner
The Amaltal Mariner is a purpose built fresh fish Hoki trawler, working all year round in the Cook Strait between the North and South Islands.
She was built in Spain in 1997 and has state of the art fishing electronics. Fish is unloaded to a land based factory for further processing.

Purse Seine Trawlers
This is a traditional method of catching Tuna and other school fish species. A large net is set in a circle around a school of fish whilst on the surface. The net is then pursed, closing the bottom of the net, then pulling up the net until the fish are caught alongside the vessel. Most of these types of vessels then transfer the fish into a tank filled with brine (extra salty refrigerated water). This freezes large amounts of fish quickly.
|
Capt. M.J. Souza
The vessel targets mainly Skip Jack Tuna but does land small amounts of other Tuna Species as well.
The Capt. M.J. Souza is based in the Western and Central Pacific for most of the year. During the summer months the vessel fishes back in NZ around the top of the North Island for Skip Jack Tuna. Trip lengths can vary from 20 to 70 days depending on the fishing.
The fish is held in refrigerated brine tanks and unloads either directly to the canneries or is transhipped to carrier vessels to freight to the canneries, leaving the purse seine vessel close to the fishing grounds to continue fishing.
