In April 2023, a Trident Seafoods factory fishing vessel, old and poorly maintained, catches fire and burns for six days, combusting 55,000 gallons of diesel, nearly ten tons of Freon coolant, and a hullful of frozen pollack from the Bering Sea. The Freon alone amounts to a massive release of climate-changing gases, the equivalent of burning 1.7 million gallons of gasoline.[63]
