Process flow
The line is designed so there is no temperature excursion between freezing and dispatch.
Why this location
Raw material
Adjacent to the South Sea and East Sea fishing grounds and to the livestock and aquaculture belt, so catch reaches intake within hours. Distance from source is the single largest factor in freshness.
Cold energy
Cold energy is currently supplied from the Tongyeong LNG terminal. The Korea Southern Power station adjoining the site is to be converted to an LNG combined-cycle plant (construction from 2027, completion targeted for 2029), after which cold energy will come from immediately next door.
Export logistics
Close to Gwangyang Port and Busan Port, so goods are loaded without inland transport. Breaks in the cold chain are minimised.
Room to grow
Inside a designated industrial complex, so lines can be added without relocating.
Construction progress
Images are updated as construction advances.
Electrical room
The electrical room and the ESS were installed and commissioned while construction continues.
