The Group’s maritime origins stretch back to 1914 with the purchase of the first fishing vessel and to shipbuilding in the early 20th century. Since these days, our passion for the sea has driven us to go even further through our engagement in processing and distribution of value added seafood products.

Our seafood processing plant located on the west coast of Norway has the capacity to produce a daily output of 40 tons of salmon. The Facility is designed to operate all-year-round production, utilizing a two-shift system.
The fresh salmon produced by the factory can be distributed to various destinations worldwide, and with its strategic location, the factory can provide easier access to raw materials, enabling efficient and cost-effective production processes.
Additionally, the factory plans to extend its operations to include production of premium whitefish products.

Babord focuses on traceability and sustainability throughout the supply chain. Open, transparent and answerable to the next generation, we put sustainability at the heart of everything we do. Through our relentless focus on sustainability, we hope to become the guardians of tomorrow, thereby making the future a safe haven for the coming generations.

1st of July 2022, the Transparency Act entered into force. The Act shall promote enterprises’ respect for fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in connection with the production of goods and the provision of services and ensure the general public access to information regarding how enterprises address adverse impacts on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions (The Norwegian Consumer Authority, 2023).

Babord Group must comply with the Transparency Act and the requirements for conducting due diligence assessments and accounts for these publicly, in line with OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible business conduct (OECD, 2018).

Our fish originate from the cold clear waters of the North East Atlantic, where Babord Catch owns and operates purse seiners/pelagic trawlers and white fish trawlers. These vessels and their crews operate in one of the world’s most challenging environments and have continually proven themselves capable of delivering quality fish. Indeed, our dedicated crews are among the most experienced in the Norwegian fishing industry and take pride in maintaining tradition in today’s high-tech industry.
