NEW HORIZONS

The decision by the Norwegian Ministry for trade, industry and fisheries set set a mackerel quota at 298,299 tonnes for 2021, acting unilaterally in the absence of a coastal state agreements, has been welcomed by the Norwegian industry, and slammed by European fishing organisations as a quota grab. At the heart of the debacle is the UK becoming an independent coastal state in its own right on leaving the European Union, leading to a failure in reaching a new coastal states agreement as the previous agreement between Norway, the Faroe Islands and the EU expired at the end of 2020. “I regret that it was not possible to continue the coastal state agreement on sharing and management of mackerel after the UK became an independent coastal state,’ said Minister for Fisheries and Seafood Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen.

8 Norway has been accused of making a quota grab, unilaterally increasing its share of the mackerel fishery by 55%

Norway has now taken a unilateral step in setting its own quota for 2021 at 298,299 tonnes, on the rationale that this equates to 35% of the TAC, based on estimates of the attachment of mackerel to Norwegian waters. Norway’s 2020 mackerel quota was 191,843 tonnes. “Norway’s unilateral increase by 55% of its share in the Northeast Atlantic mackerel fishery is a new low in our fisheries relations and totally undermines the eﬀective management of our shared and widely distributed pelagic stocks,” said Gerard van Balsfoort, speaking on behalf of the EU pelagic sector. 8 Continued page 4

You’d have to be a worldclass optimist to even let the thought cross your mind that this won’t happen again

Upsetting the mackerel cart

Production Ian Swain, David Blake, Gary Betteridge production@mercatormedia.com

If it all seems very familiar, that’s because it is. Another fracas over how to share out access to shared fish stocks has become something that comes around with regularity of yet another Star Wars sequel. You almost wonder if it really makes news. Answer: Yes, it does. The coastal nations around the North-East Atlantic last year agreed on a TAC for the mackerel fishery, but didn’t figure out how the mackerel pie should be divided. It’s happened before and you’d have to be a world-class optimist to even let the thought cross your mind that this won’t happen again. It would be very easy to spin this into yet another polemic about Brexit, but that would be too easy. No doubt the arrival of the UK at the negotiating table as a brand-new coastal state contributed to upsetting the mackerel cart’s delicate balance this time, but all this goes much further and deeper than that. As the previous coastal agreement expired, it was a matter of time who would be first to set their own quota, naturally with plausible justification for grabbing a larger share of “our fish”. This time it was Norway, but virtually every one of the states has made a similar move at some point, and all have furiously castigated each other for doing what each of them has done at one time or another. The inability to reach a sensible agreement of some kind in which everyone takes a proportionate share of the pain is a painful reflection of the political failures that repeatedly lead to these situations, the toothlessness of RFMOs, the perversity of excluding some coastal states from the club, and the futility of trying to manage – on the basis of national flags – capriciously migratory, fluctuating fish stocks that don’t respect the lines humans draw on maps. There’s nothing even remotely unusual about clashes and failures to reach agreement on fisheries limits, and there are hotspots all around the world. A case in point right now is the growing pressure on the IOTC to limit yellowfin catches in the Indian Ocean, alongside the undoubted pressure from other quarters to keep things just as they are. If the group of coastal states around the North Atlantic, with their long traditions of diplomacy, democracy and reasonable compromise, can’t get it right, you have to wonder what hope there might be for defusing the rest of the world’s fishing flashpoints.

Seafood Expo Global recheduled to 2022

The decision by Norwegian Minister for Fisheries and Seafood Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen has – unsurprisingly – been welcomed and supported by Norwegian industry federation Fiskebåt. “A 35% mackerel quota corresponds to the mackerel’s attachment to the Norwegian zone,” said Fiskebåt director Audun Maråk. “The Minister’s decision is in line with the recommendation from Fiskebåt and Fiskarlaget and the mackerel attachment to Norwegian waters. Nobody can blame Norway for fixing a share of 35%.”

“From the Norwegian side, we will continue to work for an agreement that encompasses all coastal states,” Odd Emil Ingebrigtsen said. “The negotiations on the management of mackerel stock from 2022 and onwards are planned to resume during the autumn.” Also unsurprisingly, the pelagic sector in the EU has reacted strongly to the Norwegian move, criticising the decision to unilaterally increase Norway’s share in the mackerel fishery by 55% from its 191,843 tonne quota in 2020 under the now expired coastal states agreement.

“It is extremely disappointing that Norway, which markets itself and its seafood products worldwide as the nation with the most prudent and responsible fisheries management system, now has chosen to act in such an irresponsible manner,” Gerard van Balsfoort said. “It seems that Norway has left the path of constructive collaboration with other coastal states. The first signal of this was given already around Christmas last year when Norway unilaterally decided to unlawfully grab part of the Svalbard cod quota allocated to the EU for its own benefit”.

This year the pandemic has coincided with 60 EcoSea systems reaching the end of their 12-year working lifespan. Working within the restrictions related to Covid-19, these installations have been recovered, and 420 tonnes of copper and HDPE have been recycled. “This milestone is relevant not only because it proves that our systems allow us to develop an environmentally cleaner and traceable aquaculture, but also because they are more environmentally friendly, generate value by being recyclable and, once completed their lifespan, there is no waste,” Nicolás Castillo said.

NEWHORIZONS

Focusing on Fisheries Development

KAZAKHSTAN SETS AMBITIOUS AQUACULTURE GOALS The Kazakh government has adopted a bold aquaculture development programme, aiming to boost domestic fish production from the current annual figure of 7000 tonnes to some 270,000 tonnes by 2030, reports Vladislav Vorotnikov

8 Due to outdated administrative barriers, it is legally almost impossible to set up a fish farm in Kazakhstan

The new programme is set to change dramatically the face of the Kazakh fisheries sector. Annual domestic fish consumption is expected to jump from 67,000 tonnes to 134,000 tonnes, and the anticipation is that exports could quadruple from 30,000 tonnes to 134,000 tonnes, according to government sources. New large-scale hatcheries will be required and fish processing capacities will have to be significantly expanded to serve the needs of such a growing industry. Implementing these plans would require an unprecedented 541 billion tenge in investment ($1.3 billion), which makes this programme the most costly aquaculture development campaign to be proposed in the former Soviet regions. Private investors could contribute 345 billion tenge ($800 million), and the government has expressed its readiness to provide the rest. This is proposed for a variety of subsidies for both new and existing projects, as well as establishing relevant infrastructure, according to the country’s Minister of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources Magzum Mirzagaliyev, presenting the new programme in the Kazakh Parliament. For instance, the government rolled out plans to build four large-scale feed mills in diﬀerent parts of the country, with an overall design production capacity of 400,000 tonnes of fish feed per year. “The most important factor in the fish farming industry’s

successful development is subsidies provided right from the start. Today, state support measures are envisaged for purchasing feed, machinery, and equipment for fish farms, but in our opinion, shared with business, these [state support measures] need to be expanded,” Mazgum Mirzagaliyev said. The government makes no secret that it is gambling largely on foreign investors. By 2030, Kazakhstan aims to become a major fish exporter, selling farmed fish worth around $330 million per year to foreign customers. In government oﬃcials’ opinion, this fact makes the expanding Kazakh aquaculture very attractive to foreigners. China is seen as the largest potential market, importing fish worth $14 billion per year, the Kazakh government stated in its introduction to the programme. Consquently, this means that China could be where investors are most likely to be found. The new subsidies are required for one additional key task, namely push all farms to register their businesses correctly, as the authorities suspect that not all farmed fish in the country actually makes it to the oﬃcial statistical data. “Subsidies would prompt lakeside farms to come out of the shadows, and so to realistically assess the production capabilities of the fish farming industry,” said Kazakh Agriculture Minister Saparkhan Omarov. There are varying estimates on how much fish is actually

NEW HORIZONS produced in this shadow segment, but the authorities remain confident that making the fish farming industry in the country fully transparent would help ramp up the oﬃcial production figures. Kazakh fish farmers are confident the programme is entirely realistic. The chairman of the board of the Scientific and Production Center of Fisheries LLP, Kuanish Isbekov, for instance, said he anticipated that the production could grow even beyond the declared goals. “In theory, the country’s fish farming production potential is around 600,000 tonnes, with the main share of more than 80% on the water area of the central Caspian Sea in the Mangistau region, where Caspian salmon and sturgeon species can be grown using cage farming technology. In this way, we would not only raise export potential but would also achieve import substitution,” Kuanish Isbekov said. Skepticism However, there are still weak points in the upcoming programme. The cost of feed remains a factor of considerable concern, as this determines production costs and therefore the profitability of the Kazakh fish farming industry. According to Rausahn Khamitova, director of fish farming company Caspian Riviera LLP, the price of imported feed in Kazakhstan today is comparable to the price of fish. This means that without state subsidies on feed, growing fish in the country would be unprofitable. “There are several companies producing fish feed in Kazakhstan, and we tried to switch to domestic feed, but its quality is poor. Fish frequently become ill and, in the end, it turns out that expensive feed is cheaper,” she said, adding that feed has to be a cornerstone of industry development.

8 Kazakhstan’s government has pledged to build breeding centres to support new aquaculture

“Even taking into account very high subsidies, feed is expensive, and it is necessary to encourage production of high-quality domestic feed.” Caspian Riviera LLP has been raising sturgeon for five years in closed water supply installations and tried flow systems and cage farms. Despite the problems with feed supply, the company plans to participate in the upcoming industry development programme. “Currently, we are planning to build a plant that would involve a complete cultivation cycle, as well as a full cycle of practically waste-free food production,” Rausahn Khamitova added. There are still legal obstacles for Kazakh farmers for establishing farms in the Caspian Sea, near the coast. According to Rausahn Khamitova, it is virtually impossible to establish a fish farm in the sea without breaking the law. The authorities have been promising to withdraw existing administrative barriers, some of which are outdated Soviet regulations that make little sense, hampering the industry’s development. Still, so far, almost nothing has been done.

Kazakhstan imports not only feed but also all kinds of equipment and broodstock. This makes production costs in the industry rather high and raises questions about whether the declared export goals could actually be achieved. The government estimated that on sturgeon, Kazakhstan has 66% self-suﬃciency on broodstock. On carp, this figure is 12%, while for all other fish species, this figure is as good as zero. To improve supply, the government has pledged to establish a network of hatcheries and breeding centres. However, no concrete details have been yet announced. High import dependence on almost everything means that practically all farmed fish in Kazakhstan is more expensive than in neighbouring countries. For example, the average price of tilapia is 1500 tenge ($3.5) per kg, which is 20% higher than in China. Taking logistics costs into account, local analysts warn that almost all farmed fish would be uncompetitive on the Chinese market. In addition, the Kazakh government is notorious for embarking on major development programmes, which have little hope of reaching fruition. The most recent example is the beef export development programme. In 2011, the government rolled out a programme similar to the one recently approved for the fish farming sector. Pumping nearly $200 million into cattle breeding, the Kazakh government hoped to become the biggest beef exporter in CIS, selling 180,000 tonnes per year to overseas buyers by 2020. However, in reality, export last year was limited to 5500 tonnes, plus the country continues to import beef. Inadequate quality feed rations and complete dependence on imported genetic and breeding material have been blamed. There’s a good chance that this story could repeat itself in the coming decade.

The future of fishing

WHERE NEXT FOR BRITISH SHELLFISH? COVID and Brexit created a perfect storm, but options are emerging for the sector, writes Jason Holland

8 The EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) brought an unforeseen EU-wide ban on the import of of live bivalve molluscs from Britain’s Class-B waters

To say that UK shellfish producers have had a torrid time of late, would be something of an understatement. The loss of foodservice channels both at home and in overseas markets amid the coronavirus lockdown measures was already having a devastating eﬀect on many companies before the significant and somewhat costly border issues that followed the finalisation of the country’s departure from the European Union on 31 December. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of the sector’s troubles. The new EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) brought an unforeseen EU-wide ban on the import of of live bivalve molluscs (LBMs) from Britain’s Class-B waters. Consequently, for the past five-plus months, several businesses have been unable to send their products to the key European markets that they had been supplying before Brexit. Delivering her keynote address at the recent 51st annual conference of the Shellfish Association of Great Britain (SAGB), UK Fisheries Minister, Victoria Prentis, acknowledged the diﬃculties that the shellfish sector has been facing. She also said the EU’s decision to implement the LBM ban was both “unfair” and “unjustified”. While the minister promised that the UK government would work hard to address the problems, and that many issues relating to the new trading arrangements were being rectified, she also conceded that the European Commission continues to be unwilling to engage in constructive discussion on the bivalves. Instead, DEFRA is speaking to individual EU member states that “want this trade to continue, and indeed need it to continue,” she explained.

10 | JUNE 2021

“I’m not going to pretend that there’s a silver bullet. There isn’t. But we are taking a range of steps that will, I hope, make a real difference. The Trade and Cooperation Agreement has finally been ratified by the EU. We will now see the new specialised committees being set up which will be an important step forward.” Slow road to recovery While the TCA ensures that trade with the EU continues without tariffs, it has become apparent that the real problems lie with the non-tariff barriers – essentially, the new rules that exporters must adhere to in order to move products, suggested Andrew Kuyk of the UK Seafood Industry Alliance. Pointing to a “supply paradox”, whereby approximately 80% of the seafood caught in UK waters is exported (and mostly to the EU), while around two-thirds of what the country consumes is imported (largely from outside the EU), the loss of the frictionless borders with the EU poses a “unique” problem for UK seafood, particularly shellfish, Kuyk said. “Access to the EU market is crucial. You have a very timelimited product. Also, it’s a feature of this sector that a lot of those products are normally shipped in combined loads where you have fish and shellfish from a number of different suppliers sent in a single consignment using the groupage system.” Consequently, the end of the EU-UK transition period saw export figures “literally fall off a cliff” – down 95%, and in some cases, 100%, he said. Acknowledging the minister’s assessment that certain teething and certification issues have been addressed and

For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

INSIGHT that improvements are being made, Kuyk also pointed to recoveries that are now being seen in certain markets as COVID restrictions ease. “Very importantly, some businesses have taken their fates into their own hands to do some very real, practical diversification, with direct sales to UK consumers, and exploring other, non-EU destinations. “But there’s still a long and difficult road ahead, and I think that many of the pre-Brexit business models (built on fast and frictionless supply chains) are probably not going to return to normal. “On top of that, transport rates have gone up significantly and things do take longer. You only need to get one thing wrong with one consignment and that could wipe out your profitability for months or even a year,” he said. Driving up domestic sales traffic With the export side of things still looking bleak for many, there’s opportunity for shellfish in UK stores that’s worth exploring further, particularly as grocery channels have flourished throughout the lockdown period, offered Seafish CEO Marcus Coleman. UK retail sales of shellfish leapt by an additional GBP 100 million in 2020, representing a 14% uplift on the previous year, he told the conference. In volume terms, the category accounts for a 16% share of the total seafood volume sold through retail, and for about 21% of the overall value. “This sudden explosion bucks the longer-term trend for shellfish. Over the last 10 years, only warmwater prawns have been driving the category growth, along with langoustines, lobster and clams. All other species have been declining in volume. And that’s stark contrast to last year, where almost across the board, all shellfish species showed significant retail growth,” Coleman said. While the increased sales value doesn’t offset the losses experienced in exports or through foodservice, it has certainly been a help to some in the shellfish sector, he added. Looking ahead, Coleman believes that if shellfish is going to “keep on the front foot” and capitalise on the wave of new customers that have come to the category, then the industry “needs to do its bit”. Because shoppers are now buying their groceries less often but in bigger quantities, it must come up with products that appeal to that dynamic; items that fill up cupboards and freezers, he said. “Value for money will also be key. We have got 5.5% unemployment, 4.5 million people on furlough, and we’re going into a pretty big recession. There will be some bounceback, but many people will not have disposable income…we need to make sure we have products that they’ll want to purchase. “The brilliant thing about seafood is it does have the diversity to meet all demands. We’re in a good place.”

million tonnes of seafood last year, so we are relatively small in terms of what we can export, compared to what China is demanding.” “They export a lot too, but they are still interested in our products…and there’s a rising demand.” In 2018, China’s seafood imports increased by 44%, and by 39% in 2019. While the import restrictions brought by the COVID pandemic meant that the country’s imports didn’t increase last year, Smith’s team anticipate that a steady growth pattern will continue through 2025. “There’s plenty of opportunity for UK products here. And while the UK is relatively small, there are certain products that China really values.” She told WF&A that having only got market access for langoustines two years ago, these shellfish are doing very well. Similarly, UK oysters and clams are in good demand. Meanwhile, because he team wants a clearer picture on the competition between domestic and non-domestic species, it has commissioned research to look at what the market is doing and to ascertain what gaps are available for the UK to get a good foothold. It will also evaluate the UK’s capabilities in those areas. However, “it’s not all sunshine and roses”, Smith warned the conference, explaining that new regulations introduced during the pandemic have made it more diﬃcult to export to the market. “It’s tricky, but we are here to advise and help wherever possible,” she said.

The Chinese way Another option is to look at opportunities in the huge Chinese market, which for the world’s largest producer, imports a “surprisingly large” amount of seafood, said Ray Smith, Agriculture, Food & Drink Counsellor at the UK Embassy in Beijing. “With the UK exiting the EU, there’s a lot of opportunity to look elsewhere to export. And China is our third-largest trading bloc, after the US and the EU,” she said. “China consumes a huge amount of seafood. In 2020, it consumed 4.5 million tonnes of crustaceans, 26 million tonnes of fish, and 10.5 million tonnes of molluscs and cephalopods. “To put that into perspective, Scotland only landed half a

Brunvoll propulsion expertise for Liafjord

12 | JUNE 2021

Brunvoll is supplying propulsion and manoeuvring systems to Liafjord

Illustr: Salt Ship Design

Brunvoll has signed a contract with the Cemre yard in Turkey to deliver the propulsion and manoeuvring system for Liegruppen Fiskeri’s new pelagic trawler Liafjord. The first part of the delivery from Brunvoll will take place in the fourth quarter of 2021, and the main delivery will take place during the first half of next year. The Brunvoll delivery consists of an integrated system package with gear and CP-propeller systems with shaft and stern tube, tunnel thrusters and control system. The propulsion system is a two-speed system with PTO / PTH function from a combined shaft generator/electric motor. This will allow supply surplus energy to be routed to the main switchboard from the main engine in PTO mode, and in PTH mode the ship runs electrically in emergency mode. The integrated system package is designed with focus on user-friendliness, sustainability and the lowest possible energy consumption. The two-speed

system is designed for high flexibility with two diﬀerent propeller speeds for eﬃcient operation adapted to the ship’s operating profile. Optimisation of propeller speeds means that the 0-pitch loss is reduced to a minimum, and the ship achieves significant fuel savings, reduced emissions, and reduced costs. Brunvoll is proud to deliver another new

building to Liegruppen Fiskeri AS, which has been a loyal Brunvoll customer for many years. “For the new Liafjord we have together with Salt Ship Design and Liegruppen come up with a propulsion and manoeuvring system that satisfies the shipowner’s requirements for modern, eﬃcient and optimal operation of the vessel,” said Geir Arne Kaspersen, VP Sales at Brunvoll.

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

NEW STABILISED FISH FINDER FROM FURUNO Furuno has introduced a new stable Fish Size Indicator (Fish Finder) FCV-38 designed to optimise fishing operations by utilising split beam and multi-detection technology. The FCV-38 is a high performance 4kW echo9 sounder with a 38kHz transducer using split beam technology that has already been shown to provide excellent depth detection capability. It also contributes to reliable fish size estimation. In addition, it provides accurate information on fish schools and the seabed, even under challenging weather conditions, due to its unique beam stabiliser. The FCV-38’s multi-directional beam transmission and reception provides simultaneous search and display in a maximum of five directions, with the inbuilt motion sensor providing excellent detection capabilities and stable imagery. The fish size graph provides estimation of fish distribution at a glance. Further features include a target graph allowing tracking of a designated fish target, capacity for scientific data output (in netCDF4 format) and calibration and a 1500 metre range for deep sea operation. A seabed hardness and roughness graph

allows monitoring of the seabed state and a scroll-back mode allows the user to review past data. Data recording and a screenshot function allow easy review of past echoes and recordings. Net sensor information can be integrated on

ICEFISH PREVIEW

D-TECH LAUNCHES MINI-MACH AT ICEFISH 2021 Over the last ten years D-Tech ehf. has achieved some outstanding results in designing and developing of automatic ‘fog’ disinfection systems. The company has a strong client base within the fishing industry – including major fishing and processing companies Samherji, Brim, Síldarvinnslan, Royal Greenland, Mowi and Grieg Seafood

8 Samherji’s trawlers Björg, Kaldbakur and Björgúlfur all have D-Tech disinfection systems on board

D-Tech’s system can be used both on board fishing vessels as well as in bigger processing facilities ahsore and each system is tailored to the client’s needs. Disinfecting a 3500m2 factory can be performed in just 30 minutes. This saves water, chemicals and time, but more importantly gives better disinfection as it completely covers the disinfected area from floor to ceiling, including penetrating inside compact processing machinery. D-Tech is now launching a specialised new system at IceFish 2021 for closed fish processing machines, such as water cutting machines. “On multiple occasions we have encountered isolated problems with bacterial growth within these closed processing machines. This got us thinking about a specialised unit or a solution for disinfecting small spaces with hard-toreach hot spots for microbial growth. The new solution is now ready for launch and we call it Mini-Mach,” said D-Tech CEO Guðmundur Sigthórsson. The system produces a dense disinfecting fog that

completely fills small, closed areas that can be hard to clean and disinfect using traditional methods. The externally placed control unit can serve multiple processing machines, dressing rooms and IQF freezers. Water, disinfectant, and air is mixed and pumped though tubes into the room specified for disinfection into specialised clusters that transform the mixture into a disinfecting fog that reaches all hard-to-reach places. D-Tech solutions have proven to be environmentally friendly as they use less water, chemicals, and toxic substances in the disinfection process. Recent financing through Nefco’s Green Recovery financing programme will allow the Icelandic company to open new sales oﬃces and strengthen its production capacity in UK and Eastern Europe. “The demand for sustainable disinfection systems in the food industry is expected to increase sharply. People’s awareness of disinfection has increased enormously during the pandemic. In addition, food companies are becoming increasingly aware of environmental aspects in their production,” Guðmundur Sigthórsson said.

Nodosa looks to Northern European market The Nodosa Shipyard at Marín has established itself as one of Spain’s most enterprising and imaginative shipbuilders, and has completed a number of vessels for fishing in Falkland Islands waters as the fleet has been going through a process of renewal in recent years. So far all of the new trawlers joining the Falklands fleet have been built by Nodosa. The latest is the 75 metre LOA, 14 metre beam Falcon, delivered at the end of 2020. With accommodation for a crew of up to seventy and a daily freezing capacity of 121 tonnes, Falcon is designed for distant waters operation under the challenging conditions of the South Atlantic.

8 The 75 metre Falcon has been built for a Falklands Islands/Spanish joint venture

The Nodosa Shipyard has been a regular presence at IceFish and is again returning to the exhibition at Smárinn in September this year.

“Fishing industry exhibitions are important for any shipyard with experience and expertise in fishing vessel construction. IceFish is also special for Nodosa because of its focus on Northern Europe, which is where we have a number of projects that are being explored,” said the yard’s commercial manager José Ramón Regueira. “This is where our clients, suppliers and partners meet, so it’s an ideal opportunity to share our latest experiences with them, show them the vessels we have delivered recently and test the market..”

VAKI PROVIDES SMART MONITORING EQUIPMENT One of Iceland’s key suppliers, Vaki delivers its technology to more than 60 countries, including the main salmon-producing nations of Norway, Scotland, Chile and Canada The company delivers a range of equipment, products and technology for fish counting and size estimation from freshwater to saltwater rearing, while collecting key data and analytics for each stage of fish production. Vaki is a recent addition to the MSD Animal Health portfolio of aquaculture solutions. Their unique set of technology, skills and capabilities in the aquaculture sector specializes in bringing machine learning and artificial intelligence to fish farming and wild fish conservation monitoring equipment and real-time video monitoring technology. The main benefit of this equipment is the ability to eﬀectively count and quantify fish size in environments with high fish populations and to operate under demanding underwater conditions. Vaki’s systems can count hundreds of thousands of smolts and fingerlings per hour as they pass sensors at various stages of the growing process. “Counting happens during grading, treatment, when the fish are vaccinated, and also when they are shipped to sea cages for growing,” said Vaki’s Marketing Manager Björg Ormslev Ásgeirsdóttir. “Salmon are grown in sea pens that can hold as many as 200,000 individual fish per cage for about a year and a half before they reach marketable size. “As part of that process, producers need to monitor growth rates and track the number of fish they have.” In addition to counting the fish into these cages, Vaki systems estimate their size every day while they swim freely in the cage. Infrared scanners and vision technology monitor

average size, growth and performance of the fish during the whole production cycle, which provides the information the salmon farmer needs to optimize feeding and schedule harvesting,” she said. While establishing numbers and sizes of fish at various growth stages has been the primary focus, Vaki also supplies fish pumps, graders, monitoring equipment, feeding systems, as well as, rating and oxygenation systems for sea cages. A recent addition to the product line is the SmartFlow system, which enables users to gather and store information about all measured fish for easy comparisons of size and number. In addition, the system allows users to optimize every aspect of production, as Vaki’s devices can be managed and finetuned using the SmartFlow system to achieve high levels of eﬃciency and accuracy. “This is the first time that Vaki has taken part in IceFish, the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition,” Björg Ormslev Ásgeirsdóttir added. “We’re pleased to see the exhibition having a strong aquaculture focus and we look forward to participating for the first time. Although 90% of Vaki production is exported, we see Iceland as becoming a progressively more important market as aquaculture is expected to increase in the coming years.”

Taking production hygiene to new levels A brand new collaboration, Centrego Marine A/S brings together a wealth of experience focused exclusively on servicing the fishing industry over the last twenty years. The founders have joined forces to bring tried and tested technology to the fishing industry, providing opportunities to elevate production hygiene and disinfection to a hitherto unknown level - both oﬀshore and onshore - while significantly lowering the impact on the environment by reducing the use of synthetic chemicals, reducing the use and disposal of plastic, and reducing carbon emissions. According to Centrego Marine, implementing Toucan ECA systems reduces the chemical impact in the fishing industry with a primary automated cleaning and disinfection solution using two natural and naturally sustainable raw materials - water and salt.

SHIPBUILDING FOR FISHING AND AQUACULTURE The Måløy region of western Norway continues to be a hub of activity relating to fishing, aquaculture and processing sectors Those within the Måløy Maritime Group (MMG), a cluster representing a variety of specialist suppliers, include ship designer Skipskompetanse, which has recently concluded contracts for new vessels to be built at Larsnes Mek Verksted, one of the busiest shipyards in the region. Chilean operator Naviera Orca came to Skipskompetance for the design of its new 2800m3 capacity live fish carrier, a 79 metre vessel that will have the latest in equipment for zero emissions during closed transport with monitoring and purification of water. It will have a filter system for collecting lice, UV treatment of water in and out of the cargo holds as well as automatic washing and disinfection systems. Another order for Skipskompetanse and Larsnes Mek Verksted is innovative seiner Nord-Fugløy, designed with options for catches in RSW or processed and frozen on board, as well as the possibility of carrying live fish in 400m3 of its tank capacity. The SK-3151 design has been optimised for the owner’s operational profile with a Yanmar main engine and a 1000kW/ hour battery pack – in an arrangement designed to anticipate climatic challenges that fishing vessels in northern waters may face in future. “We have attended IceFish before with great success and are planning a strong presence for this year’s exhibition, where ten of our 15 members will be attending. Iceland is for many of our members an important market and is therefore a perfect place for our members to meet both new and existing customers,” said MMG CEO Miriam Edler.

“Måløy Maritime Group wants to promote a great network of companies in the maritime and fisheries sector around the fishing port of Måløy, with companies ranging from fishing gear suppliers, installations and electronics, to shipyards, naval architects and port facilities.”

Fifty-fifty, whitefish and salmon Processing equipment specialist Lavango has seen Iceland’s growing salmon sector account for an increasing share of its activity in recent years, now roughly equalling its production for the whitefish industry. “We specialise in tailored systems for fish processing, supplying fishing vessels, processors and also aquaculture companies producing salmon and trout. This year we have been busy with the new whitefish production plant that Samherji opened recently in Dalvík, with conveyors and other equipment. There’s a lot of our gear in there,” said CEO Kristján Karl Aðalsteinsson. With its production based in Lithuania, Lavango also manufactures equipment as subcontractors for other machine suppliers including innovative robotics technology company Samey. “We produce a lot of their conveyors, and assist in installation, while they handle the design, electronics, robotics and

programming. This is a co-operation that has been in place since 2017,” he said. “For the growing salmon industry we’re producing a lot of conveyors, tanks and other equipment, plus Lavango represents a range of companies on the Icelandic market,

including Ultra Aqua UV lights that practically every salmon producer is using to filter the water in their tanks.” As well as Ultra Aqua water disinfection, Lavango also represents Philips aquaculture lights, Elpress cleaning systems from Holland, Radwag weighing systems from Poland, Semistaal from Denmark, and Nock skinning machines from Germany on the Icelandic market. 2021 will be Lavango’s third time at IceFish, and the company has had a presence there since it was established in 2014. “We exhibit at IceFish because it’s one of the best ways to reach the Icelandic market. This one’s the Mercedes of exhibitions. It’s where we meet our current customers, where we find new ones and it’s also important for overseas customers as well, as they come to Iceland to find out what’s going on here, including some US customers who found us at IceFish.”

ICEFISH PREVIEW

TAKING THE GREEN APPROACH With a strong background in ship design and engineering, Navis has a longstanding involvement with shipbuilding for the Icelandic fishing sector – and is now placing much of the development focus on green systems for fishing vessels

8 Navis designed longliner Páll Jónsson for Grindavík fishing company Vísir hf

“We’re concentrating on green systems, and we have developed an electric fishing vessel. This is a coastal longliner. Construction hasn’t started, but the development work is compete and this is ready to go,” said Bjarni Hjartarson at Navis. “We are also doing a lot of green-oriented development work with hydrogen and other fuel sources.” Over the years Navis has been involved in a great many projects, from newbuilds to refits and rebuilds of vessels from 10 metres all the way up to 120 metre ships, dealing with everything from fishing vessels to service craft and container ships. “Our most recent new fishing vessel is Páll Jónsson GK-7,

which was designed for Vísir in Grindavík and delivered by the Alkor Shipyard in Poland in February last year.” The 45 metre Páll Jónsson replaced an older vessel of the same name, providing the company with a significantly more eﬃcient longliner which presented opportunities to provide the crew with better living conditions and a modern working deck layout. This year Navis is back at the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition as an exhibitor. “We see IceFish as a unique event. This is exhibition is where we get to find out what’s going on in the industry, and where we have opportunities to meet new clients and make new connections,” he said.

Millions of tubs worldwide – now Iceland Right at the end of 2020, Industrial Solutions struck an agreement with Israeli tub and pallet producer Dolav to become their representative for Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. “DOLAV are a well-known manufacturer of large plastic products and since 1976 they have sold millions of tubs worldwide,” said Eiríkur Aðalsteinsson, CEO at Industrial Solutions, adding that the main demand in the Nordic region is expected for the 460and 600-litre tubs that the fishing and seafood sectors require. Unlike the conventional tubs that are already in widespread use, DOLAV’s tubs are HDPE single-walled injected moulded and therefore without insulation – and this no longer presents any problems, he explained. “Today fish is transported almost

22 | JUNE 2021

8 DOLAV has been supplying tubs and other products around the world since 1976

exclusively in chilled trucks and containers and stored in temperature controlled premises. So insulation in tubs no longer serves any real purpose other than as overkill,” he said. “DOLAV’s single-walled tubs are immensely strong, and are around 17kg

lighter than the insulated tubs the industry is used to using. When you have a full truck, or sixty tubs of fish being shipped in a container, that makes a real diﬀerence to the amount of raw material that’s being transported.” In addition to being light and easily handled, the DOLAV tubs are also fully recyclable once their working life comes to an end. He commented that with a long background in supplying Icelandic industry with plastic products, Industrial Solutions opted to take the opportunities presented by the 2021 IceFish Exhibition to demonstrate the DOLAV tubs to the fishing and seafood sectors. “I’ve taken part in this exhibition four times in the past with other companies, and it’s a perfect platform to present new products,” he said.

AQUACULTURE

NEW RED SEA BREAM AIP SET FOR ASC ASSESSMENT Kumamoto Prefecture in southern Japan is home to one of the country’s most important aquaculture industries – the farming of red sea bream. Last year, it launched Japan’s first red sea bream Aquaculture Improvement Project (AIP) and is now ready for the next step, reports Bonnie Waycott

8 The unique red and white colours of red sea bream are considered lucky

Thanks to favourable coastal geography and oceanic conditions, aquaculture in Japan’s Kumamoto Prefecture has been robust since 1965, centred on the regions of Amakusa Kamishima, Shimoshima and Ashikita. Among the species being farmed in the area is red sea bream (Pagrus major). Known as madai in Japanese, the fish is a symbolic food item in Japan. Its unique red and white colours are considered lucky, and it’s often served whole on New Year’s Day, wedding ceremonies and other auspicious occasions. Not only does Kumamoto Prefecture farm such a key species, but it also boasts Japan’s second highest annual production volume of farmed red sea bream, with roughly 10,000 tonnes produced each year. This accounts for more than half of the prefecture’s farmed fish production volume. Last June, Kumamoto Prefecture drew attention when Japan’s first red sea bream Aquaculture Improvement Project (AIP) began there. The project involves Japanese social venture Seafood Legacy Co., Ltd., which provides sustainable seafood consulting and platforming services to Japanese fisheries, seafood businesses and government, the Kumamoto Seawater Culture Fisheries Cooperative, which conducts sales, processing, purchasing and guidancerelated businesses for its member mariculture fisheries and Urata Suisan Co., Ltd., a mariculture farm that operates red sea bream and striped jack mackerel farms in Goshoura Town in Amakusa. It’s also a member of the Kumamoto Seawater Culture Fisheries Cooperative. “Urata Suisan Co., Ltd and Kumamoto Seawater Culture

Fisheries Cooperative have been exploring potential export markets for their products, including the North American and EU markets. Through the new AIP they are setting their sights on obtaining ASC certification in 2021 to further diﬀerentiate their products in the domestic and international markets,” said Shunji Murakami, Vice President and COO of Seafood Legacy. “Red sea bream farming is also very significant for Japan’s aquaculture production as a whole. The species is the second top farmed species by volume. The annual production volume was 62,301 tonnes in 2019. The largest producer was Ehime Prefecture in southwest Japan, and Kumamoto Prefecture was the second in 2018.” Two of three aquaculture fishing grounds that are operated by Urata Suisan are part of the AIP and targeted for ASC certification. Red sea bream smolt in both fishing grounds are raised for a year and half in net cages before they are transferred to other cages and raised for another year or so until they reach a shipment size of 2kg, Shunji Murakami said. The fish are fed moist pellets, while, in an move that ties in with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the circular economy principle, Kumamoto Seawater Culture Fisheries Cooperative plants algae on the sea bed and grows it by making full use of debris such as uneaten feed and faeces from the fish farms. This algae is then cultivated as feed for livestock and abalone. The AIP process consisted of an ASC pre-assessment to address any improvement needs before a comprehensive work plan was drawn up. This included a timeline and a list of

AQUACULTURE roles and responsibilities to ensure that any area that required improvement was at a certifiable level in line with ASC standards. According to Seafood Legacy, examples of improvements to be implemented include monitoring the impact of fish farms on surrounding habitats and ecosystems, ensuring that fish feed and smolts are sustainable, managing fish diseases and parasites and establishing social responsibility guidelines and policies. The ASC assessment will investigate all farming operations, from seed to harvest. “Managing expectations with stakeholders through tight communication among the stakeholder group is one key to building an eﬀective AIP model,” he said. “The shared vision and reasons why we are all doing this together are also important, while a clear targeting market should also be kept in mind since this is also a business initiative. To date, we have completed most of the improvements to be implemented and are near the level where we can consider starting the full ASC assessment process very soon.” As Kumamoto Prefecture’s red sea bream farming moves towards its ASC assessment, Shunji Murakami believes that this is going to be important for Japan as a whole in terms of sustainability, market competitiveness and contributions to local economies. “Aquaculture is one of the largest economic pillars in Kumamoto Prefecture, especially in the Amakusa region,” he said. “Amakusa is proud of the quality red sea bream it produces. Global recognition through ASC certification will not only increase its reputation as a red sea bream farm mecca, but it will also draw more attention to its products, leading to more local economic prosperity. An ASC certification will also increase market competitiveness and price once international markets demand Amakusa’s certified produce and this could also increase its domestic competitiveness in price. But even without an international market pull, ASC certification will lead to more domestic market opportunities and business collaborations. Amakusa’s local economy will also become stronger not only through market competitiveness but also by a high number of in-bound tourists from all over the world who will come to experience top-notch quality ASC red sea bream. This is bound to raise pride among the Amakusa community.”

Masaki Urata, CEO of Urata Suisan Co., Ltd., and Akiyuki Kanabo, Processing Division Sales Manager of Kumamoto Seawater Culture Fisheries Cooperative also shared their views. “We operate our farms in the warm waters of the Yatsushiro inland sea oﬀ the coast of Goshoura Island in Amakusa. By raising our fish from smolt using complete pelleted feed, we provide farmed fish with stable quality and management year-round. By improving on environmental sustainability, social responsibility and traceability through this project, our goal is to raise the possibility of aquaculture and help further develop the industry for the future,” Masaki Urata said. “Kumamoto Seawater Culture Fisheries Cooperative is a cooperative association of mariculture fisheries, with our members mainly operating in the Amakusa Kamishima and Shimoshima areas of Kumamoto Prefecture,” Akuyuki Kanabo added. “We are comprehensively engaged in developing the aquaculture business of our cooperative members and local community in order to promote the development of the region’s aquaculture community. By working towards acquiring ASC certification, we are committed to minimising the environmental impacts of aquaculture in a socially responsible way and supporting our local community.”

LOCH DUART INTRODUCES NEW PERSON OVERBOARD ALERT Scottish salmon farm Loch Duart has introduced a new person overboard (POB) system, ensuring even greater safety for all its team who work at sea

This system leads the way in the aquaculture sector, representing an industry first for Loch Duart which has sea sites off the coast of Sutherland and the Outer Hebrides. Once activated on contact with water, the new POB system sends a distress signal to alert all radios, boats and landing craft in the vicinity that the person is overboard. “The work that Loch Duart has conducted to further increase safety during their marine operations has been greatly welcomed by industry,” said Work Boat Association chief executive officer Kerrie Forster. “Loch Duart has made big strides to better protect the welfare of those working on Loch Duart sites. Thanks to the open sharing of the project’s outcomes at industry safety groups, such as the Workboat Association Safety Forum and the Aquaculture Safety Group, they have championed change across the whole sector. Well done to all the team involved.” Loch Duart’s Health and Safety manager David McKeown worked with engineering firm Watt Marine Ltd. to develop the system. David also consulted with the Marine Coast Guard Agency who approved the new system. While safety measures for the team already meet regulatory requirements, this new, robust system means that the company is now going above and beyond current standards for team safety. All Loch Duart staff working at sea will be supplied with a personal location device. If a person goes overboard by accident or due to weather conditions, the device is automatically activated when the life jacket is deployed - all life jackets automatically deploy when in salt sea water. “Within 15 seconds of activation the system sends out a distress signal and alerts all radios, boats and landing craft in the vicinity that the person is overboard. Within 45 seconds the personal location device sets off an audible alarm on the farm and within one minute the personal location device sends a further distress signal to the Coastguard and other vessels within the area,” David McKeown said. “Our people are the most important pillar of Loch Duart’s

success, and we are always looking at ways to further improve their safety. We worked closely with Watt Marine Ltd. to push the standards higher and improve safety at sea beyond the industry norm. Loch Duart is now, arguably, ahead of everyone else in the sector regarding safety at sea.” “Watt Marine Ltd. has supplied, installed and serviced marine electronics systems to Loch Duart for many years,” commented Struan Eaglesham, Director of Watt Marine Ltd. who helped develop the system. “With no oﬀ-the-shelf solution available, we designed, developed, tested and implemented the new system to further improve workforce safety. Working with Echomaster Marine Ltd we then developed and implemented the man overboard system, which utilises Personal Flotation Devices, VHF radios and Automatic Identification System systems.”

OPPORTUNITIES IN IRELAND’S AQUACULTURE SECTOR Welcoming the expansion of the Aquaculture Remote Classroom (ARC) programme to second level schools from September 2021 onwards, Ireland’s Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue T.D. spoke to a group of transition year students

8 Áine O’Donnell, Aquaculture Remote Classroom (ARC) facilitator with students during a schools visit

Career opportunities in the aquaculture sector is the focus of the new programme that seeks to build greater awareness among second level students of the breadth of career options available. Skills and qualifications needed for diverse roles including commercial diving, science, sales and marketing will be brought to life in the programme by way of real-life profile interviews with some of the women and men who work in Ireland’s seafood sector. “I am delighted that this programme is being expanded to include students at second level and with a focus on careers in the seafood sector. Its online format also means it will get to audiences more swiftly and in bigger numbers,” Charlie McConalogue said. “Attracting skilled and talented young people to work in Ireland’s seafood sector is central to its continued development. My hope is that the new programme can help to inspire students considering their career options when they leave school and to realise the breadth of opportunities that exist within the sector. ” The interactive mobile classroom is part of the Farmed in the EU campaign and was launched three years ago in 2018 by Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM), Ireland’s Seafood Development. The ARC is supported by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund and was initially developed to help younger audiences learn about aquaculture in a fun and interactive way using immersive technologies including VR headsets and augmented reality.

The ARC programme also covers modules on the socioeconomic and nutritional benefits of aquaculture. Up until now, the ARC has been available to only primary level pupils in Ireland. In the last 12 months, the ARC has been adapted and delivered entirely online to ensure teachers and students have been continuously able to access the resource. BIM’s CEO Jim O’Toole highlighted the enduring importance of the seafood sector to Ireland’s coastal communities. “The seafood sector provides a vital source of jobs and economic activity for coastal communities across Ireland,” he said. “The continued success and development of the sector is contingent on being able to attract young talent from across diﬀerent disciplines so that the sector continues to prosper and thrive.”

NEWBUILDS

NEW NETTER FOR WATERDANCE The first new netter of its size for the UK fleet for at least fifteen years, Amanda of Ladram has been built for English fishing company Waterdance at Parkol in Whitby to a design by Ian Paton at SC McAllister.

The build process was hampered by Covid restriction, as construction began just as the UK went into its first lockdown last year – but the yard made up time and completed Amanda of Ladram on time. New netter Amanda of Ladram narrowly managed to make a start with a couple of days’ fishing after making its delivery trip from Whitby to Newlyn, before an unusually big spring tide ruled out netting and kept the new boat alongside for a few days. Sea trials were carried out oﬀ Whitby and skipper John Walsh and his crew steamed the new boat home to Newlyn, with a call on the way at Brixham to pick up a couple more crew members, before putting the gear on board and heading out for a first trip. The first landing was made in Newlyn, with the fish sold at the Brixham auction – and the first box of Amanda of Ladram’s fish was sold to the Greendale Farm Shop, a partner company within the group that owns Waterdance. The first box fetched £550 for the Fishermen’s Mission, which was matched by Brixham Trawler Agents and added to with a contribution from Parkol. As well as having grown steadily to become one of the largest English fishing operators with a series of acquisitions in recent years, Waterdance has already made some significant investments in new capacity, having built potter Nichola of Ladram and beamer Georgina of Ladram at Luyt in the Netherlands. Amanda of Ladram is the first of its new vessels to be built in the UK, and is an addition to the fleet, which has seen some changes taking place among the netters fishing from Newlyn for hake, monk and turbot. John Walsh had skippered Padstow netter Charisma for more than twenty years before it was acquired by Waterdance, and a few years later the company bought Scottish trawler Asteria, which was refitted

as a netter and renamed Amanda of Ladram. John Walsh and his crew moved across to the new vessel, while Stacy Gambrill took over Charisma. Now John Walsh and his crew have moved across to the newbuild, the former Amanda of Ladram has been renamed Rachel of Ladram, now worked by Stacy Gambrill and the crew who had worked Charisma. In turn, Charisma of Ladram is now skippered by Alan Dwan as he joins the Waterdance fleet. ‘We’re very pleased with the build, the project management and the speed of delivery,’ said Waterdance Head of Fisheries Martyn Youell, commenting that Amanda of Ladram joining

NEWBUILDS the fleet is part of a broader theme of strengthening the company’s activities in Newlyn. He commented that in going to Parkol and designer Ian Paton at SC MacAllister, they were looking for an efficient, stable and safe new netter. ‘We’re very pleased to be building in the UK. Amanda of Ladram is relatively small in length terms, but this is a larger, more stable vessel. It’s also efficient, with much lower emissions,’ he said. ‘We are investing at a challenging time, but we’re taking a long-term view and are confident that prices will return to their previous levels. We’re not being put off making future investments.’ The netting fleet’s primary target species of hake has also become increasingly important to Waterdance as the market for this fish continues to expand. ‘Hake has become very important to us, and the sustainability credentials for this are crucial for marketing. We see a growing demand for hake and a broad and growing range of buyers at the Brixham and Plymouth auctions, ranging from small-scale fish sellers to larger buyers who are looking to export,’ he said. ‘Hake is one of the species that has been hit hard by Covid and prices have been erratic through lockdown, but have now been relatively good for the last couple of weeks. Hake is a very important part of the business, along with sole, monkfish and plaice.’ Amanda of Ladram has an overall length of 20.40 metres and a moulded breadth of 7.70 metres. The steel hull is topped by an aluminium aft wheelhouse. The nonweathertight full-length shelterdeck and the mast are also fabricated in aluminium. A Thistlelift MFB8 crane is mounted on the shelterdeck for landing Amanda of Ladram’s catches. The layout places the 500-box capacity fishroom with its Geneglace icemaker forward, with the engine room amidships and accommodation for up to ten crew and passengers aft, along with the compartment for the Wills Ridley steering gear. At main deck level the hauling position is on the starboard side, with a Spencer Carter hauler arranged to swing into its working position as the hydraulic hatch opens. The catch handling hoppers and washer are located on the forward deck, with fishing gear taken aft through a channel leading under the wheelhouse on the port side. The superstructure amidships contains the galley, mess area, washroom and oilskin store. Fifteen net pounds are arranged under the aft shelterdeck, with capacity to hold all of Amanda of Ladram’s trammel and gill net gear, with no need to put gear ashore when switching between trammels and gill nets. A John Leach net flaking system capable of traversing in any direction runs on rails above the pounds to place the Net-Op net flaker where required. Amanda of Ladram’s main engine is a Volvo Penta D16MH, developing 484kW to power the 2300mm diameter, controllable pitch, four-bladed propeller via a Nogva Heimdal CPP-HG389S reduction gearbox. The bow thruster is a Kort KT90. The main engine is used solely for propulsion and the twin Volvo Penta D5A-BTA gensets, each developing 100KvA, are run alternately to provide power for Amanda of Ladram’s energy requirements. The wheelhouse systems have been supplied by Echomaster Marine, with AG Neovo 22-inch and 19-inch displays for the electronics and the E-Logbook PC. The fishfinder is a Hondex HDX-121 Black box chartplotter/echo-sounder with dual 50 and 200kHz frequencies and seabed mapping. The plotters are an Olex 3D seabed chartplotter with AIS

and HT modules, and a Maxsea Timezero, supplied to Waterdance by Globe Marine, with PBG and AIS modules. Echomaster Marine also supplied the JRC JLR-21 GPS compass, Furuno GP39 GPS receiver and a pair of Simrad radars, an NSO Evo3 with Halo 6 Pulse Compression and an NSO Evo3 with Halo 4 Pulse Compression, as well as the Navitron NT777 autopilot with NT920 watch alarm, NT920NFU remote steering levers and 920RAI rudder indicators. The communications package includes an Icom IC-M423G VHF DSC radio, a Sailor 6210 VHF set and a JRC JSS-2150 MF/HF DSC set. The GM1600E GMDSS liferaft radio is from Icom and there is an ICS NAV6+ paperless Navtex receiver. The V60Ka band VSAT antenna system for internet at sea with wifi is from Intellian. Amanda of Ladram has a 16-channel CCTV system with 4MP cameras mounted in key working areas, plus a hullmounted camera providing a view of the propellor and rudder. Echomaster Marine supplied the VEP8 GPS EPIRB and the Phontek 10 station Intercom system for internal communication on board. The I6PE 60cm Satellite TV antenna with messdeck freesat TV and bluetooth soundbar is an Intellian system.

NEWBUILDS The Viking name goes back a long way. The forerunners of the present company built some of the first GRP fishing boats for the Icelandic market, and company is still in the same business. However, the current Viking designs are a long way from the original boats built back in the 1980s that established a reputation for strength and reliability. Today’s inshore fishing vessels are packed with sophisticated systems and have a carrying capacity far greater than the previous generation, as boatbuilders have responded to requirements for greater comfort and safety, more speed and higher fishing capacity. Based in Reykjavík, Vikingbátar continues to build on the strong reputation that’s linked to the Viking name, and has been operating from its present yard since 2012 when the present owners took over production. Since then, Víkingbátar has delivered some of the most successful fishing vessels to the class of boats operating within the hook-and-line management regime, and continues to push out boundaries. “Right now we are building the new model Vikingur BT30, which will be delivered in the summer to GPG Seafood in Húsavík,” said Vikingbátar’s sales manager Sverrir Karl Matthíasson.

FAMILIAR NAME – NEW DESIGNS

The 13.80 metre Háey is a designed in collaboration with Ráðgarður Ship Consulting as a dedicated autoliner with a full shelterdeck – and is the first of a new design. Háey isn’t a one-oﬀ, he said, commenting

8 Vikingbátar is due to deliver the first of its new Vikingur BT30 model to GPG Seafood this summer

that over the coming eighteen months, the yard will be delivering another three 30BT longline boats to operators in Iceland.

DAMEN PASSES MILESTONE IN BEAMER BUILD

Photo: Damen Shipyards

The Daman Maaskant yard in Stellendam has taken delivery of 38 metre beam trawler Franson Z-91, and is now making progress on outfitting the new trawler for its Belgian owner. Franson is one of a series of new vessels being built for Belgian owners. This new BT3808 design has been developed to dovetail with the maximum length and tonnage allowable under Belgian Maritime Inspectorate regulations. Maaskant have optimised the design in order to achieve a 12% increase in bollard pull. The new beamer will replace the Francine Z-90 currently operated by Belgian fishing company Rederij Long Ships, which was founded in 1934 by the current owner’s grandfather. “I expect a lot from Franson. First and foremost to bring in food from the wide seas. She will also play an economically important role, contributing to the Flemish economy and employment in the ports and fish trade and especially in creating a livelihood for our Flemish fishermen. They will enjoy job satisfaction on board Franson, which is a safe, eﬃcient and ergonomic ship,” said Rederij Long Ships owner Eddie Cattoor, as he showed his appreciation to the shipyard workers in Gdansk for their eﬀorts during a hard winter to complete Franson’s steelwork.

“It’s a ship that meets all modern and contemporary requirements and that will be further completed with the best accommodation for the crew, who have to work hard for many days at sea.” Franson is expected to work year-round on
