When it was announced on Dec. 2 that Ocean Choice International would be permanently closing two of their plants, in Port Union and Marystown, the news that $5 million worth of investments would be made to five of OCI’s other plants didn’t seem to soften the blow.
The Packet has learned that $2 million of those investments will be spent modernizing the Bonavista crab processing plant, with remaining funds to be divided between Port Aux Choice, Triton, St. Lawrence and Fortune.
The work is slated to begin next August and will be completed in time for the 2013 crab season said OCI president and CEO Martin Sullivan.
“Bonavista is a core plant for us. We want to make sure it’s a modern plant for the future. It’s time it saw some investment.”
