Wes, any info on what happened in the lagoon?
Hoping to learn more soon.
Former OBI plants in the Bay are performing better than ever. It's amazing what a little bit of knowledge, some efficiencies, and some brains in the wheelhouse will do. Good riddance to OB management.
Spot on, 6:26. If only we could do the same with NPSI.
Nah. Why spend money when slave labor is cheap!
Oh, wait. It's not cheap.
NPSI is dying.
Spoken like a true shill. Better marketing and financing options this year have nothing to do with it? Recovering from the fallout of COVID, tariffs, soft markets, has nothing to do with it? Why did Peter Pan and OBI fail in the first place? It wasn't because the best fishermen were paid off to leave for a competitor? Or was it?
The former owners also have a problem at their headquarters too, operating as a nonprofit.
Jimmy isn't worried about efficiencies, 7:53. He can just take it out of the fleet's pockets. Red Salmon, Peter Pan and OBI were so effective at blaming the fleet, that their fleet finally left. I don't know how they're going to clean up the BBEDC's problems, but being nonprofit didn't work out very good for OBI.
OBI and PPSF failed because their infrastructure was 50 to 100 years old. The management style was old-school. And frankly, they sucked. NPSI will suffer the same fate, they just don't know it yet. How long will that billionaire keep putting money for Dave Hambleton to lose? Leauri will get rid of him soon enough.
@6:26, based upon what knowledge? You have a data set perhaps from this year, what about past OBI production years?
Question: In 2.5 months what did SBS do operationanlly to improve the efficienies in these plants? Or rather were plants efficient to begin with?
More pounds thru any plant lowers cost. Shocker.
