We present the draft genome of Shewanella frigidimarina Ag06-30, a marine bacterium from King George Island, Antarctica, which encodes the carbapenemase SFP-1. The assembly contains 4,799,218 bp (GC content 41.24%). This strain harbors several mobile genetic elements that provide insights into lateral gene transfer and bacterial plasticity and evolution.
