21 June 2022 - 10:30PM
Blue Star Foods Corp., (NASDAQ:BSFC) (“Blue Star” or “BSFC”), an
integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) sustainable
seafood company with a focus on Recirculatory Aquaculture Systems
(RAS), today announced that it has selected HTH Engineering &
Equipment LLC (“HTH”) as its the Recirculating Aquaculture Systems
(“RAS”) technology provider for its planned expanded Soft-Shell
Atlantic Crab RAS farm in Jasper County, South Carolina.
Blue Star has signed a multi-phase engineering
contract with HTH to provide planning, design and consulting
services to create a new facility that, when fully built, will be
able to harvest over 220,000 dozen a year of Soft-Shell Atlantic
Blue Crab. The new operation will be in Jasper County, South
Carolina. This new location will replace the existing operational
footprint that is currently in Beaufort County, South Carolina.
“We are impressed with HTH’s background and
experience. They have worked on numerous innovative RAS projects
throughout the world, and we found their success in building
aquaculture facilities in the crab and lobster space relevant to
what we are looking to build out,” said Rodrigo Mezerhane, Senior
Project Manager at Blue Star Foods. He further added, “Our existing
footprint in Beaufort County has worked for the initial stage of
our Soft-Shell Crab RAS business, but it won’t work for us much
longer, as we anticipate rapidly expanding this business unit.”
“We launched the Soft-Shell Crab RAS business
division in March 2022, and we are very pleased with the speed and
cost at which we were able to launch and come to market. The
immediate expansion of the Crab RAS business was one of the major
drivers for profitable growth, and we are excited to work with HTH
on this expansion,” said John Keeler, Chairman and CEO of Blue
Star.
