Norwegian Red King Crab Cargo Vessels Take New Route to South Korea to Reduce Delivery Time and Ensure Quality

On August 31, 2023, refrigerated vessels from Norway set sail along the Northern Sea Route in a convoy of ships to transport frozen red king crab directly to South Korea, bypassing the traditional route through Vladivostok, Russia. This change in the shipping route aims to substantially reduce delivery times, lower transportation costs, and maintain the high quality of seafood exports.
