The Association of Large Freezer Tuna Vessels (AGAC) was established on July 4, 1980, as an association of owners of freezer tuna vessels of at least 750 tons of TRB registration, depositing its statutes with the Ministry of Labor, Institute of Mediation, Arbitration and Reconciliation of the Service of deposit of Statutes, Election Acts, Agreements and Collective Agreements, with the deposit number 2154.
AGAC was constituted by five companies, although in a few years they were increased to seven, with the aim of representing the interests of a restless group of shipowners dedicated to the tropical tuna fishery with the global vision that this fishery has later shown to have. Currently AGAC is made up of nine groups of shipowners
Currently AGAC is made up of all the shipowners in our group, which include Spanish ships (grouped in OPAGAC) and investments by these shipowners in ships from the coastal countries of Ecuador, Seychelles, El Salvador, Curaçao, Panama, Guatemala and Belize.
