Commercial Fishing Freight
Shipping commercial fishing supplies to and from Alaska
Alaska Air Forwarding began business in 1965 originally as a buying service for the fishing industry. Today, we’re still working for the fishing industry – making sure any needed commercial fishing supplies are there when it’s necessary. An engine on a trawler suddenly breaks down and the fishing window is only hours away, we’ll air freight a new engine there in time for the fish to be caught.
At the onshore fish processing plant, a crucial valve in the flash freezing equipment wears out and it’s urgent for a replacement. A research vessel in the Bering Sea loses its radar and needs a replacement immediately. We’ll get replacement parts there quickly so the work goes on as though nothing happened.

COMMERCIAL FISH SHIPPING CASE STUDY
In the middle of the fishing season, it’s paramount to have your fishing boat running. Alaska Air Forwarding had a customer in dire need. The customer’s boat had broken down and had limped back to Dutch Harbor when one of the area’s many storms brewed. The storm caused a two-day backlog of freight getting into Dutch Harbor.
At Alaska Air Forwarding we know the necessity of getting that boat running and flew our Sales Manager in Anchorage to Dutch Harbor. He hand-carried the replacement parts on his lap for the 3-hour trip. The customer was able to resume their season with less than a day lost and our sales manager was able to spend a pleasant 20 minutes in Dutch Harbor.
