Live Ship is a live seafood logistics transport company located in North Sydney, Nova Scotia that is revolutionizing the way live lobster and snow crab are transported worldwide. Live Ship's system for eliminating or minimizing stress from “catch to plate” reduces mortality, improves health, freshness, and taste, therefore increasing market value and supplier profit. The Company’s proprietary supply chain system developed by BioNovations minimizes product stress to improve health and longevity while providing a system for care of product at all points of the supply chain.?This reduces total cost of live seafood distribution and increases market value by delivering a fresh, premium taste experience.
The BioNovations live seafood transport container allows Live Ship the ability to ship seafood over long distances and extended periods of time, both over land and sea. Both of BioNovations transport trailers and ocean faring containers minimize carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, resulting in a much lower carbon footprint than traditional methods such as air freight. Up until now live seafood holding and transport systems came with an inherently high mortality rate. BioNovations systems are specifically designed to provide highly controllable environments and have significantly reduced mortality rates associated with long-term storage and long-haul transport. As a result, the cost of storing and shipping live seafood will greatly reduce the loss of life during transport, thereby maximizing the use of the targeted species and increasing the payload.
