Argos Froyanes Ltd operates two vessels that are used for fishing Patagonian and Antarctic Toothfish. The company initially sought an invitation from Immigration New Zealand for the overseas workers to apply for critical purpose visas to crew the two vessels. The workers would have landed at Christchurch Airport and been transferred directly to the port so the two vessels could depart.
