ATLANTIC DAWN

The Atlantic Dawn, a ship that combined the most advanced technology with the most streamlined operations, was launched by the company in 2000. The largest ship operating in open waters at the time, the crew of over 60 also worked in some of the most secure conditions ever created on a fishing vessel. Owned and operated by the Atlantic Dawn company until 2007, it spent much of its time in international waters... The Atlantic Dawn Group is one of Europe's leading producers of frozen pelagic fish... In the beginning it was simply a love affair with the sea. Atlantic Dawn's founder Kevin Mc Hugh was born into a coastal community on the western island of Achill, and it was there that he first developed his passion for the sea. Pioneering the art of pelagic fishing, his vision was to bring the freshest catch to shore using the best sustainable practices while putting the safety of the crew at the heart of his business. The timeline below is punctuated by milestones, with each new vessel..
