The infection is the instruction, and our responsibility is heavier than Mount Tai. Facing of the sudden outbreak of the severe infection, in accordance with the unified arrangement of the mother company, Ocean Family actively implemented the spirit of the notification of provincial and municipal governments at all levels, made solid efforts in the prevention and control of the infection, responded scientifically, and secured the safety. During the Spring Festival, the company quickly set up the command working group for the prevention and control of the infection at the first place, launched the emergency plan for the prevention and control of the infection, and established a systematic and standardized registration and system for the prevention and control, realizing the effective prevention and control of the infection; meanwhile, the company successfully ensured the fishing operation on the sea and supply work, predicted the impact of the infection in advance, formulated corresponding measures, organized production and resumption of production in a safe and orderly manner, strengthened coordination, stabilized the team, and ensured the effective supply from the fishing vessel to the dining table.

Three distant water fisheries fishing fleets sticked to the forefront，ensuring the supply from the source

The situation of the infection affected the hearts of hundreds of millions of people. However, the sea couldn’t separate our colleagues from us. The crew of the distant water fisheries fishing fleets, who are operating far across the ocean and on the front line, were also very concerned about the infection, used their own real actions, responsibilities and accountabilities to cheer their families and compatriots in China. Pursuing the good catch is a strong backing for the company and their families, so as to ensure the supply from the source and provide a safe source of the aquatic protein for the domestic citizens. Under the remote guidance from the management team, the company maintained the safe production and continuity of the operation of super-frozen tuna fishing fleet, tuna purse seining fleet and Argentinean squid fishing fleet during the period of the infection.

Processing factories actively responded to the infection and resumed production in an orderly manner

According to the company’s unified arrangement, the processing factories of Ocean Family actively implemented the prevention and control of the infection, strictly carried out personnel registration and investigation and access management, strengthened the monitoring of the infection, disinfection and sterilization, material preparation and logistics services in advance, and effectively realized the work of the prevention and control of the infection and preparation for the resumption of production, winning the war against the infection.

During the Spring Festival, all processing factories, in accordance with the requirements of the office of the guidance group of the prevention and control of the infection at the municipal and district level, in the timely manner, reported the situation of the prevention and control of the infection, the plan of the resumption of production and the letter of commitment for the prevention and control of the infection, refined and realized various safety prevention and emergency response measures, ensuring the safe production. From February 9^th to 10^th, leaders of relevant competence authorities of local governments went to factories, such as North Supreme, Today and Fengsheng, to have the investigation, carefully understood the situation of the prevention and control of the infection and preparations to resume the production, listened to the status quo of returned workers from other areas, isolation measures and implementation of various prevention and control measures, and recognized the prevention and control measures adopted by each factory, such as returning during non-traffic jam time, separated time for dining, and unified chartered vehicles for transmission for workers and etc. On February 10^th, the Today Food Co., Ltd. officially resumed the operation after the pass of the auditing of the resumption of operation. After that, North Supreme Seafood Co., Ltd. passed the on-site auditing and will resume operation at February 15^th. Fengsheng Food Co., Ltd. is waiting for the notification of the resumption of operation.

The terminal retailing business continued to move forward during the infection

The  infection blocked the people’s steps and restrained the consumption. The terminal retailing business entered into the cold winter. However, Ocean Family didn’t forget its original intention, continuing to move forward in the cold climate and to provide more safe, reassuring, healthy and delicious seafood for people.

During the Spring Festival, Ocean Family actively cooperated with E-commerce platforms such as JD.com, the flagship store at Tmall.com, and etc. to add safe and reassuring delicacies to people’s dining tables through distribution channels, and replenished of fresh frozen goods supply to HEMA in the timely manner, alleviating the sudden order demand. The flow of consumers in high-end supermarkets was significantly reduced compared with that in previous years, but Ocean Family was still acting. All high-end seafood counters in Shanghai operated as normal under the precondition of prevention and control of infection and safe operation. At the same time, Ocean Family’s Zhoushan experience pavilion, cooperating with APPs such as Meituan, Eliaoma and etc., launched the love packages, which include series meal-kit like Argentina shrimp, small yellow croaker in sauce, boiled miso mackerel and etc., making you enjoy “delicious delicacies” without walking outside.

The influence of this infection is large and will be lasted for a long time. The whole social and economic activities and normal lives were seriously affected, covering the whole country and even overseas. Ocean Family could not be exempted, and the company’s all business sectors within the whole industrial chain were hit. Due to factors such as delayed resumption of operation, restricted traffic, suspension of logistics and freezing of the consumer market, the company’s revenue declined sharply and the additional cost increased, which is expected to cause great difficulties for Ocean Family to achieve its business plan in the first quarter of 2020 and even the whole year. On the precondition of achieving the overall prevention and control of the infection and ensuring the health of employees, all business departments of the company have formulated corresponding measures in line with their own business and market characteristics, striving to effectively control the loss and minimize the impact of the infection on the 2020 business plan.

Let's work together to conquer the difficulties and resolutely win the war of prevention and control the infection!
