As soon as Ruby-1 moors in the port of Murmansk, the holding’s second company, Soling Seafood, takes over without delay. After all, away from their natural habitat, marine organisms can survive only a very short time.

The onshore facility
The company’s pride is its state-of-the-art onshore production facility, commissioned in early 2022. It has everything needed to process sea urchin roe: water filtration, purification and cooling systems, medium- and low-temperature freezing units, and blast freezers that preserve the natural organoleptic properties of aquatic organisms for a long time. Even the tables, tanks and production tools are custom-made.

Caring for people
For the staff to work comfortably, there are dryers for clothes and shoes, washing machines and a fully equipped canteen. This raises productivity and product quality.

“By vessel arrival”
The flexible work schedule is built around vessel arrivals: the plant receives all information about the quantity and quality of the raw material in advance. This optimises both processing and the shipping of finished products. As a result, buyers receive the freshest top-quality product. After all, sea urchin roe is good in every form — from fresh, tender and sweet-creamy to dried, canned and salted.

All the way to the table
Marketing and centralised sales to retail outlets in Russia and worldwide, and meticulously organised logistics that take care of even the smallest details of fast, smart delivery, put not a full stop but an ellipsis in the endless story of people and the sea.

And it all begins again.
