Sublime pump system provides high quality raw material The Varðin way of fishing, is unique for the quality of the Mackerel and other Pelagic Fish. The simple drawing illustrates the way of fishing. The vessel in front is towing the trawl, while the vessel in the back has a hose connected to a pump at the end of the trawl. The fish that comes into the trawl is pumped directly into the cooling tanks of the vessel in the back. It takes 45 sec. from the fish is alive at the bottom of the trawl, until it is in the cooling tanks of the vessel. From here it takes less than 30 min for the fish to reach -1°C. Varðin Pelagic has a MSC Certification. Varðin fleet has a MSC Certification for fishing Mackerel, Herring and Blue Whiting.
