Construction work at the Rainforest Seafoods SVG Ltd facility in Calliaqua is progressing quickly and is expected to be open by year-end.
Construction was paused in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resumed in October 2020.
This construction phase includes the erection of a steel framework and installation of insulation, processing, and refrigeration panels.
On completion, the facility will be fully equipped for processing seafood – with a 40 x 80 ft freezing area and live 10-ton storage tanks. There will also be office spaces and storage for packaging.
Rainforest Seafoods SVG Ltd is expected to employ approximately 80 persons, and the facility’s design will comply with European Union regulation standards – the highest within the global seafood industry.
