Vessel landings, processing yield, cold storage, and wholesale orders
Industry
Commercial Seafood
Company size
Fictional regional processor and wholesaler buying from an independent inshore fleet of 200 vessels working out of 6 home ports, with 8 of its own cold-storage warehouses.
Catalog
28 harvested species across finfish, shellfish, and cephalopod, processed into 80 product SKUs and sold to 55 wholesale accounts.
Packaged scale
About 341,000 rows across 11 Standard-tier tables, including 60,000 vessel landings from 200 supplying vessels, 150,000 species catch lines, 45,000 processing runs, 15,360 monthly cold-storage snapshots, and 70,000 wholesale order lines.
Landed volume
Roughly 13,700 tonnes landed per year, about 27,400 tonnes across the two-year window.
Ex-vessel value
About $61 million per year in ex-vessel landing value, before processing and wholesale markups.
Wholesale revenue
Total wholesale revenue of roughly $223 million across the two-year window, sold off a published list price at channel-specific trade discounts.
Processing yield
Around 74 percent average yield, with about 11,900 tonnes of raw input run through the plant each year.
Marlowen Seafood Co is a fictional regional commercial seafood business used for synthetic BI analysis. The company story is built around a harvesting fleet that lands catch at a handful of working ports, a processing operation that turns that catch into fillets, portions, and frozen and fresh packs, the cold-storage warehouses that hold finished product, and the wholesale buyers who move it to restaurants, retailers, distributors, and export markets. Everything here is invented for analytics practice. No real seafood company, vessel, port, warehouse, buyer, captain, or crew member is represented.
These are the operating questions this kit is optimized to answer first.
Landings peak in summer while wholesale revenue lifts around the holidays and the spring Lenten window.
Pot boats land crab and lobster, dredgers land shellfish, seiners and gillnetters land salmon, and only longliners land tuna.
Each species lands on its own peak, so crab and winter species run counter to the summer-heavy fleet total.
Catch routed to the plant exceeds what it consumes, yield falls from whole packs to fillets, and no SKU sells more than it produced.
One list price with channel trade discounts means exporters buy cheapest, restaurants pay a premium, and margin differs by channel.
Warehouses show in-balance, low, aging, and near-capacity slots each month, and the leased site swells through the late-summer peak.
