Ten percent of the coast. One hundred percent of the value.

The fleet

Five steel and aluminum hulls, one aluminum dragger, and a lot of RSW.

Every vessel below is drawn from the condition and valuation surveys carried out by James Kitagawa, Certified Marine Surveyor (IIMS Canada #1083), for Leader Fishing Ltd. between January 2020 and February 2026. Specifications, official numbers, tonnages and valuations are quoted as surveyed. Every photograph below is of the named hull - Pacific Viking and Viking Fisher from the survey reports themselves, the other four from dated third-party vessel photography. The licence-to-hull assignment is the one remaining gap.

VIKING FISHER DATA GAP

Survey dated 3 December 2024

The Viking Fisher survey exists - twenty-eight pages, the largest file in the set - but it was scanned as flat images rather than text, so none of its specifications, tonnages or valuation can be read or verified. This card stays empty on purpose.

Fleet register

Aggregate surveyed replacement value across the same five hulls is $28,000,000. Against an approximately $55M package ask, the steel is not what is being bought - the licences, the quota and the 9.90% sablefish position are. Valuations are as-surveyed on the dates shown, obtained by the surveyor from a local brokerage and not re-tested here. Southern Ridge was surveyed in water in January 2020 and needs a current survey before close.

Traceability and data

Every pound has a vessel, a set, and a name behind it.

Sovereign.FISH runs on the IFF operating stack - APEX field capture at the rail, GlobalTrace chain of custody, and a Snowflake warehouse that conforms landings, pricing, stock assessment, trade flows and ocean conditions into one model. The QR code on the package resolves against the same tables our traders price from.
