Akamalik is Royal Greenland's largest shrimp trawler, catching and producing shell-on shrimp in the waters of the North Atlantic.

The seagoing factory trawler is fishing in deep waters and boiling, packing and freezing the shrimp onboard within three hours of catch.

While at sea, the vessel is constantly fishing, and two full crews operate shifts around the clock.

The frozen-at-sea shell-on shrimp are then either shipped directly from the vessel to customers around the world or to Royal Greenland's factories on shore for peeling and repackaging.
