The seafood business needs to step out of the shadows and become a larger part of the overall debate about global nutrition, believes Norwegian Seafood Council CEO Renate Larsen.

She said that despite being identified as a major component of potential solutions, seafood was largely overlooked in the recent COP26 Climate Change Conference, with healthy fisheries and sustainable seafood sidelined under a separate Blue Food: Businesses bridging nutrition needs with climate action UN panel discussion.

“We really need to elbow our way into the food debate, where seafood deserves to be seen, heard and considered a vital part of the

puzzle of our food systems,” Renate Larsen said.

“How can seafood play a part of the solution if it is continuously forgotten about in the debate about sustainable food systems?”

She commented that in the aftermath of COP26 it was highlighted that the meetings failed to raise significant discussion about food security, and that it has been suggested that this topic was “just too big” to cover well at COP26 – but the subject is under discussion around the world.

“If food was not a big focus, then seafood was more or less invisible. This has to change,” Renate Larsen said.

ICELANDIC COMPANY TAKES DELIVERY OF NEW FREEZER TRAWLER Fishing and processing company Nesfiskur went to ship designer Skipasýn to develop new factory trawler Baldvin Njálsson, replacing an older vessel of the same name that had served the company well, but was showing its age.

There has been plenty of investment in Iceland’s fishing capacity in recent years, but this has been mainly in pelagic vessels and a new generation of fresher trawlers as catching and shore-based processing have become increasingly integrated. The 65 metre, 16 metre breadth Baldvin Njálsson GK-400, built at the Astilleros Armon yard in Vigo, is a filleter factory trawler, and the first such vessel to join the Icelandic fleet since the delivery of Sólborg ÓF-1 five years ago.

New skipper in the WF wheelhouse

‘‘

Fishing, seafood and aquaculture industries continue to grow, often in unexpected new directions of their own

It’s been an interesting five years in the editor’s chair at World Fishing, but it’s time to step aside for someone new to take over.

It’s reassuring for the outgoing editor – and for WF’s readers – to know that there’s someone taking over who can tell a cockle from a cuttlefish.

Incoming editor Jason Holland has been a longstanding contributor to these pages and his InSight columns have become one of our most popular features. Jason has been writing about fisheries, seafood and aquaculture practically since he was in short trousers. He’s well known and respected in the seafood industry, and there isn’t much he doesn’t know about the fish business.

My own relationship with WF goes back a very long way, having been a contributor long before it became a Mercator title, and back when delivering copy by fax was something the editor at the time thought was radically innovative. To put it mildly, a lot has changed since then, and no doubt there’s plenty more to come as the possibilities offered by the digital landscape are a very long way from being exhausted.

A change is no bad thing. After five years at the wheel, it’s time bring in new ideas and imagination to allow WF develop in new directions, just as the fishing, seafood and aquaculture industries continue to grow, often in unexpected new directions of their own. All the same, this old guy is still going to be there in the background as a contributor.

Observing and reporting on these industries as a journalist is never dull. There have been a tumultuous few years for European fisheries due to Brexit, and the dust is still nowhere near settled. The Covid pandemic has sent shock waves through every aspect of the way we live and work, and every sector of the food industry has had to scramble to adapt rapidly to new ways of doing things.

There’s never nothing going. The frequently tortuous politics of fisheries and the imaginative technological advances constantly being made mean that there has hardly ever been a more fascinating and exciting time to be in this business.

SEAFOOD OVERLOOKED AT COP26 Following the COP26 Climate Change Conference, Norwegian Seafood Council CEO Renate Larsen has spoken out and asked why seafood is always left out of the debate, even when the UN also points to seafood – and specifically aquaculture – as an important component of meeting growing global food demands.

“It continues to be frustrating that the dietary battle lines have been very much drawn between meat and plants, overlooking the immense potential of the oceans and sustainable seafood,” she said.

“There is now an increasing body of evidence supporting our narrative about the important role of sustainable seafood, but we still have a big job to do in translating this to consumers and to position ourselves in this currently very polarised debate,” Renate Larsen said, commenting that UN projections are that the world needs to produce 70% more food to meet dietary needs by 2050.

“But how can blue foods be a positive force for change, when it is being overlooked in a narrow debate with ‘meat-based’ on one side, and ‘plant-based’ on the other?”

The challenge is a task the Norwegian Seafood Council wants to tackle head-on. As the world’s largest generic marketing organisation for seafood,

promoting seafood from Norway across markets around the world, she believes it has a special responsibility.

“Norway, as the second largest exporter of seafood in the world, and a global leader when it comes to sustainable seafood production and aquaculture, has a responsibility to help position sustainable seafood into the food debate.”

But she is clear this a challenge that should involve everyone in the seafood industry.

“We must all continue to

promote responsible and well-managed wild-catch fisheries, evolve sustainable aquaculture practices, and ensure that consumers can make conscious and well-informed decisions about what they eat,” she said.

“In order to make this vital move towards more sustainable, ‘bluer’ diets, we must take action throughout the value chain, from government to producers, to retailers, and all the way to the consumer.”

8 The Grieg Seafood Hjaltland UK acquisition could be complete before the end of the year, according to Scottish Sea Farms Managing Director Jim Gallagher

The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has cleared Scottish Sea Farms’ bid to acquire Grieg Seafood Hjaltland UK, paving the way for the deal to complete.

In June 2021, Scottish Sea Farms – which is co-owned 50/50 by Lerøy Seafood Group and SalMar ASA – signed a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in Grieg Seafood Hjaltland UK from Grieg Seafood ASA for the purchase price of £164 million.

Included in the deal are the company’s freshwater hatchery, processing facility and 21 marine

farms around the Shetland Islands and Isle of Skye which, combined, produced approximately 16,000 tonnes (HOG) of Atlantic salmon in 2020.

This complements the geography of Scottish Sea Farms’ own operations across mainland Scotland, Shetland and Orkney, putting the salmon grower on track to produce 46,000 tonnes in 2022.

TUNA GIANT SELECTS WISEFISH FOR PNG PROCESSORS Taiwanese seafood group FCF Co., Ltd, one of the largest players in the global tuna industry, has given a green light to Wise Solutions to provide WiseFish as the ERP system for its affiliated production companies in Papua New Guinea.

“This system is a revolution in terms of technology deployment in the PNG factories. The system provides us real time overview of the operation from end to end, tracking raw materials and finished goods as they are processed in the factories and manages the total operation finances, inventories, product traceability and more,” said Tony Costa, CIO of Bumble Bee Foods, who was instrumental in the selection of WiseFish for the project.

FCF is the parent company of Bumble Bee Seafoods and owns and operates production facilities and entities around the world that together form one of the top seafood producers and traders globally. The company collaborates closely with governments and NGOs to support the environmental sustainability of tuna and other FCF’s participation in the GDST has the potential to significantly support the expansion and implementation of traceability systems across the tuna sector.

An FCF representative commented that the company strongly believes that the full adoption of the GDST standards will be a key tool for the improvement and implementation of interoperable traceability systems in the global seafood industry. Full implementation of GDST standards would provide end-market users with stronger assurances that FCF products are legally sourced.

“FCF is confident that its support of the GDST will result in increased value of our seafood traceability systems and strengthen the seafood industry overall. FCF looks forward to facilitating the implementation of the GDST 1.0 Standards, as well as the Key Data Elements (KDEs) for digital traceability for seafood

“To implement an advanced system of this magnitude, complexity, and sophistication in a remote location like Papua New Guinea while the world is experiencing a global pandemic, is no easy task,” Tony Costa explained.

“We assembled a global team from FCF Taiwan, Bumble Bee Foods USA, South Seas Tuna Corporation PNG, Nambawan PNG, and WiseFish USA/Europe to work collaboratively on this

industry leading solution. Despite the challenges presented with the pandemic and the requirement to perform all the project activities remotely, the team has done an outstanding job staying on track to implement the project as outlined with minimum impacts.”

He commented that WiseFish is leading seafood industry technology, developed by Wise Solutions. Based in Iceland, Wise Solutions has developed and continues to refine its systems in close collaboration with the local seafood industry, and Wise systems are now in use all over the world.

“We are honoured to be selected to provide systems to these factories and we see it as a big endorsement of our capabilities that companies like FCF and Bumble Bee Foods choose WiseFish to address their needs,” said Wise CEO Jóhannes H. Guðjónsson.

“This is going to strengthen our position as leaders in this space and support our efforts to provide our customers with leading edge solutions.”

With negotiations between the three parties forming Iceland’s new government concluded, there are changes at the various ministries – including at Industry and Innovation, which has the Fisheries and Agriculture brief.

Outgoing Minister of Fisheries Kristján Thór Júlíusson had already signalled his intention to stand down and did not seek re-election this year. His place is taken by Svandís Svavarsdóttir, who comes from having been Minister for Health since 2017.

Unusually, she comes from the Left-Green party to a Ministerial post that has traditionally been held by the Independence Party.

According to a statement by the Ministry, the new government’s policies focus strongly on the ambitious aim of increasing the proportion of healthy, nutritious foodstuffs in domestic production, while also highlighting the importance of the seafood industry taking the right green steps, as well as forming a comprehensive set of

policies around the development of the aquaculture sector.

“Food production, agriculture and fisheries have deep roots in our society and there is scope for significant progress in terms of innovation and development, as

well as in environmental matters,’ Svandís Svavarsdóttir said.

“There’s interesting and exciting work ahead, and now it’s time to roll up our sleeves and take on the challenges we are facing.”

The future of fishing

STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE Opportunities await if UK aquaculture can get suitable infrastructure in place, writes Jason Holland

8 Defra aims to provide grant funding to support the UK aquaculture industry’s development, and will also review and clarify existing regulations

With the notable exception of the salmon farming that’s conducted in remote Scottish areas, UK aquaculture has plodded along the same well-trodden path and delivered pretty much the same modest volumes from a small handful of species for decades. In contrast, at a global level, the farming of aquatic species has boomed – evolving into one of the fastest-growing food production sectors, and providing more than half of the seafood that we collectively consume today. This standing has made it integral to world food and nutritional security.

While there’s been the tendency for UK aquaculture to go about its business very quietly and to keep its head well below the parapet, there’s also now a clear demand for it to put more product into the market, both in terms of raising the domestic supply for some 65 million consumers and increasing the export volume for seafood buyers everywhere else. Alongside supply chain stakeholders, UK government has identified these opportunities, with successive fisheries ministers stating their keenness to see the development of an efficient, competitive and sustainable aquaculture industry.

Such a potential future was recently explored by a conference session hosted by the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Fisheries Secretariat, in partnership with the joint industry-government Seafood 2040 (SF2040) programme.

10 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2022

There, Ruth Allin, Policy Team Leader: Recreational Fishing, Aquaculture, Migratory & Freshwater Fisheries at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) underlined the government’s support for the sector.

“Defra recognises the local socio-economic benefits of what aquaculture can bring, particularly in rural and remote coastal communities as well as the opportunity of being able to produce low-carbon, high-protein food locally and so the department is therefore committed to supporting the industry-led sustainable aquaculture growth,” she said.

Outlining what this means “in reality”, Allin said that Defra will provide grant funding to support the industry’s development, and that it will also review and clarify existing regulations with a view to exploring ways to streamline and improve these opportunities.

State backing Reiterating that the United Kingdom’s aquaculture is amongst the most strictly regulated in the world, Heather Jones, CEO of the Sustainable Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC said she would love to see the Scottish and UK governments support the sector much further still, calling it the country’s “most lowcarbon, efficient food production system”.

Jones said that she’d also like to see the supply chain grow

INSIGHT by being able to deliver more healthy seafood and more sustainable jobs across the UK with minimal local and global environmental impacts. Third on her wishlist is to see innovation excellence from UK universities and high-tech companies flourish to the point that the country is exporting its fish and shellfish farming know-how and technology.

She also pointed towards the strength of Scotland’s salmon farming industry, which with a first-sale value in excess of GBP 1.07 billion, is actually worth 1.5 times as much as all of the fish caught in UK waters.

As well as accounting for 97% of both the volume and value of UK finfish production (the remainder is mainly accounted for by trout), Atlantic salmon is also the UK’s largest food export, Jones said.

Mussels and oysters are the UK’s main farmed shellfish in volume and value, she confirmed.

Adding diversity Citing the latest figures from the government’s Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas), Dr Neil Auchterlonie, chair of Seafood 2040, told the event that much to the success of salmon farming, annual UK aquaculture production has reached a level approaching 230,000 tonnes, with a value in excess of GBP 1.3 billion.

Crucially, Auchterlonie insisted that there’s plenty of potential for further development, pointing to the UK’s long coastline of just under 12,500 km.

While this is dwarfed by salmon farming giant Norway’s 58,133km, the UK coastline is significantly larger than the those of fellow European producing nations like Italy (7,600 km), Denmark (7,314 km), Spain (4,964 km) and France (4,853 km).

“There’s a lot of space there and there’s a lot of opportunity to grow more food.

“Some of that will be down to developing some of the systems that we need to farm in some of the environments; English coastal waters are very different to the Scottish coast, for example, but this can certainly be done over time,” he said.

The underpinning message is that we need to eat more fish, which is also a fundamental objective of the Seafood 2040 initiative

‘‘

Looking forward, Auchterlonie said that for England as a region, the English Aquaculture Strategy, which was delivered in November 2020, comprises 53 actions that will seek to grow and diversify aquaculture in the country over the next 20 years. Ultimately, these will strive to contribute at least 15% of England’s overall seafood consumption by 2040.

The aim is to create a diversity in this developing sector – both in terms of the systems and species produced over the next 18 years or more, Auchterlonie said.

“We see, for instance, the development of areas like the microalgae sector, as well as more freshwater and marine finfish production.

“There’s going to be a lot of application of innovation and technology to get to where we want to, some of which we don’t have at the current time,” he said.

Enabling progress Offering retail perspective on the growing importance of aquaculture, Ally Dingwall, Fisheries and Aquaculture Manager at Sainsbury’s Supermarkets Ltd, highlighted that

as a nation, the United Kingdom falls some way short of meeting the consumption advice from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) – that fish should be included in the diet a minimum of two times per week, including one oily variety.

“Consumption in the UK is not where it needs to be… it’s actually about half of the FSA’s recommendation,” he said.

“The underpinning message is that we need to eat more fish, which is also a fundamental objective of the Seafood 2040 initiative.”

Dingwall pointed out that meeting the FSA’s consumption recommendation would require the delivery of an extra 600,000 tonnes of live weight fish, and to deliver that by domestic means would require a doubling of the UK’s current domestic supply of 400,000 tonnes and 230,000 tonnes of fisheries and aquaculture products, respectively.

While imports would have to play a part in such a supply scale up, he said that the plateauing of fisheries production means that any sizeable increases in production can only be delivered through aquaculture.

Dingwall also insisted that a robust regulatory framework is “absolutely fundamental” for the success of a truly sustainable, embedded UK aquaculture sector going forward.

“Specifically, we need an enabling environment on effective collaboration and technological innovation to ensure that the industry can face into, mitigate and adapt to existing and future challenges relating to biosecurity, health and welfare, and the environmental challenges driven by climate change.”

Alongside additional processes that support the development of feed ingredients and predictive technologies, long-term funding streams should be available that enable the aquaculture industry to develop and thrive, he said.

“It’s not just about growing fish and seafood, it’s also about having the supporting infrastructure for processing, distribution and logistics, and ensuring that we have the appropriate skillsets and people to support the development of the seafood supply chain.

“All of this is critical in delivering cost-effective, affordable and accessible food for consumers,” Dingwall stressed.

With the forum’s discussions demonstrating that stakeholder ambitions are closely aligned and that there’s also a considerable need from the market, UK aquaculture is now perhaps better placed to kick-on than ever before in its history.

Focusing on Fisheries Development

RUSSIA ON TRACK TO BECOMING A BLACK CAVIAR SUPERPOWER

Photo: Russian Caviar House

Russia is set to increase black caviar export fivefold by 2024, aiming to compete with Chinese suppliers on the European and the US markets, as well as on home ground, reports Vladislav Vorotnikov

During the past decade, Russia managed to ramp up black caviar production from 13 tonnes to nearly 53 tonnes in 2020, Russian state statistical service Rosstat estimates. By 2024, this figure is expected to at least double, the Russian government set out in its International Cooperation and Export programme.

Under the Russian Empire, the country was the world’s largest producer of black caviar, extracting nearly 1000 tonnes from 40,000 tonnes of wild sturgeon every year, a significant portion of which was exported to Germany, Austria, Turkey, Greece, and North America. In the Soviet era, black caviar exports peaked in the 1930s with 800 tonnes worth $15 million – which would be close to $1 billion today.

However, excessive catches of wild sturgeon severely reduced the population – a fact that was already recognised

by Soviet scientists, whose reports still failed to prevent the situation from worsening further.

In the 1990s, when the fishing industry lacked government control, there was large-scale poaching in addition to commercial catches. Sturgeon have become practically extinct in most parts of Russia, pushing the government to introduce a complete ban on sturgeon fishing in 2009. Since that time, all legally-produced black caviar in Russia is either imported or comes from farmed stock.

12 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2022

8 Russia is set to expand caviar exports

Black caviar against Covid-19 Russia has one of the highest per capita levels of back caviar consumption, due in part to it being considered not only just a national dish but also one of the main symbols of the country.

Despite the economic crisis, the demand for this product continues to grow, as having black caviar on the table traditionally serves to indicate the host’s higher social status.

“If we compare it with last year’s situation, then everything [the demand] has remained at the same level,” said Alexander Novikov, President of the Russian Union of Sturgeon Breeders, adding that the price for black caviar in Russia remained the same, while all aquafeed is imported. “This means that producers generate less revenue [than in the previous year].”

The average price of black caviar on the Russian market stands at 50,000 rubles ($700) per kg. This is close to being a monthly wage of an average Russian citizen living outside Moscow. Despite this, the demand for black caviar jumped in Russia during the pandemic, supposedly owing to a popular myth that black caviar offers incredible health benefits.

“People buy black caviar not only as a delicacy, but also as a medicine - it’s no secret that black caviar is very useful, and it is recommended for people with poor health. Now, when everyone is recovering from the coronavirus, this is relevant,” Alexander Novikov said.

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

Domestic market first According to a spokesperson for the Russian Caviar House – the largest black caviar producer in Russia – before looking beyond their borders, Russian regulators should put the domestic market in order, explaining that the vast presence of Chinese caviar in Russia causes colossal damage to the public image of this national product.

Russian Caviar House estimates that three of every four cans sold under the well-known brand Astrakhan caviar in 2019 actually contained products imported from China.

“Even taking into account the logistics, Chinese caviar is cheaper than that grown in Russian farms,” said Ilya Bereznyuk, a partner at the Russian think tank Agro & Food Communications, estimating the wholesale price of the Chinese black caviar might be as low as $200 per kg.

“Russian black caviar is an important brand, similar to Russian vodka, which we must take advantage of,” commented a source in the Russian fish industry. “Exporting poor-quality Chinese caviar to the European Union is the worst thing that could be possibly done. In a few years from now, this will ruin the image of Russian caviar abroad, and I doubt we would be able to restore this competitive advantage in the future.”

The Russian government remains optimistic about the growth in black caviar exports. The International Cooperation and Export programme envisages introducing supplies to a broad range of markets, including Brazil, India, the United Arab Emirates, the EU countries, as well as the US and even China in coming years.

8 Sturgeon is nearly extinct in Russia, but this is about to change

Over the past few decades, the Russian government has launched a dozen hatcheries focused on breeding sturgeon in different parts of the country in order to save this fish from complete extinction. Most of these have already reached planned production levels, and there are predictions that sturgeon could be withdrawn from the Russian Red Book of endangered species as early as 2030 in Siberia and the Far East, and later in European Russia.

According to Russian government agency Glavrybvod, which manages state-owned hatcheries in Russia, by that time, in order to maintain stable operation, they are likely to switch to breeding broodstock for commercial fish farms, as well as to manufacture finished products.

When it comes to commercial production, black caviar is the first and most obvious choice for sturgeon hatcheries, according to Glavrybvod’s spokesperson.

Growing production or fraud Growth in black caviar production in Russia is associated with the massive construction of new sturgeon farms during the past few years, said German Zverev, President of the Russian fishing industry union Varpe. He estimated that sturgeon is being produced at least at 80 farms, located mainly in the Volga-Caspian and Azov-Black Sea basins, with more farms being launched every year. Production is expected to keep growing in the coming years, he said.

Alexander Novikov suggested that to some extent, recent production growth could be associated with repackaging. He explained that some unscrupulous manufacturers import black caviar from abroad, mainly from China and Uruguay, in large containers of around 1.8 kg and then repack it into smaller jars for further resale.

This repackaged caviar technically becomes a product of Russian origin. Under electronic veterinary certificates, which became mandatory for selling finished fish products on the Russian market from 1st July 2019, it is described as Russianmade caviar, he explained. This issue has repeatedly attracted the attention of top government officials. Russian deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko, during a government meeting in 2020, called on the Federal Agency for Fisheries to address this issue and design tools to prevent Chinese caviar from being sold as a Russian product. However, this problem is yet to be solved.

Russian black caviar production is also growing because the number of sturgeon farms in Russia is rising, even though not all of them are interested in producing caviar, said Alexander Novikov.

“These are primarily small farms specialising in breeding sturgeon with a production performance of between 3 and 5 tonnes of fish, which do not have facilities for processing caviar. To increase black caviar production in Russia, large projects are needed in the first place, but investors are not very interested because of the long payback periods. It takes on average six years from starting production before the first black caviar is obtained.”

VÓNIN’S PERFECT NORTH SEA TRAWL

Image: Vónin

There have been numerous versions of the venerable Bacalao trawl in use for decades, and these have more than a few times been refined and updated as new materials have become available, or to meet changing requirements

When the gear design team at Faroese fishing gear supplier Vónin revisited the Bacalao design a couple of years ago, the decision was taken against another round of upgrading this tried-and-tested trawl design to achieve more headline height, and instead they started from scratch to develop a new generation of groundfish trawl.

The result is the Zenith design, finalised during a process of simulation, flume tank testing and sea trials, an all-round groundfish trawl with enough headline height to be effective on saithe and haddock, but without sacrificing ground contact.

The first Zenith trawls were tested by Faroese pair teams, which had traditionally used Bacalao gear, and by working Zenith and Balalao trawls for alternate tows, the effectiveness of the new design could easily be compared to the standard gear. It became clear that the Zenith design scored, despite having a marginally smaller fishing circle – while providing better headline height for the same warp tension.

The Faroese pair trawl fleet has mostly switched over to using Zenith trawls, made in Vónin’s own Fortis netting, and Zeniths have also been shown to return good results when spread with a pair of doors.

Norwegian trawler Tobis was rigged with a pair of 380mesh Zenith trawls earlier this year and skipper Harald Taranger reports that they have performed well.

“We have been using these for half a year now and it looks

8 North Sea trawler Tobis is using a pair of Vónin’s 380-mesh Zenith trawls

good. We get better height and more spread, and these are much easier to tow, with fuel consumption down 15-20%,” he said.

Tobis is twin rigging, mainly in the North Sea, searching mainly for saithe and cod. Catches are landed in Norway and shipped by road to Hanstholm in Denmark to be auctioned.

“We tried many types of trawls before this. Then we got the Zenith trawls and are very satisfied with them,” he said, adding that the gear is spread with a 6m2 pair of Type 23 Bluestream doors.

“We’re very satisfied with the doors, too,” he said, explaining that the switch to new gear was partly for fishing halibut during the season that starts in late April and continues through to August, but as those grounds lie mainly in the UK zone, that fishery has come to nothing this year.

With a change of ground gear it hasn’t been a problem to fish with the Zenith trawls on their usual North Sea groundfish species.

“The fish move deeper as it gets colder in the winter and it looks like we’ll be even happier with these trawls in deeper water,” Harald Taranger predicted.

“This is an excellent trawl. Ground contact is good, but not so hard on the ground as our previous trawls, so there’s hardly any damage. That makes the Zenith a perfect North Sea trawl.”

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

VERSATILE EXCLUDER SEPARATES PELAGIC CATCHES Danish fishing gear company Cosmos Trawl has designed and developed a new selectivity device, and ten of these Excluders have been supplied to Danish, Norwegian and Swedish fishing operators The company is waiting for approval from the Danish and Norwegian authorities for general fishing activities.

It takes the form of a conical netting section, secured inside the belly of the trawl, made in T90 netting at the front and square mesh further back. Inside this two panels are fixed laterally to lead seals and small cetaceans out through the aft part of the cone, leading to an opening in the lower panel of the trawl. Cetaceans and seals swim out through the opening unharmed, while fish catches pass the panels and back to the codend.

The net cone is fitted at the aft end of the belly, ahead of the codend. If it’s required, it takes the crew around an hour to fit it to the trawl

‘‘

According to Cosmos Trawl CEO Michael Lassen, this selectivity device, which has been christened the T90 Excluder, has been developed with North Sea pelagic fisheries for sandeel, brisling, spaerling and herring in mind.

This excluder appears to be effective in any pelagic gear. The results of trials have shown that there is no error, and the success rate is 100%.

“The Excluder has been used in fishing for herring and it’s accepted that if there are small fish in the area, these tend to end up in the codend with the herring. These small fish make their way to the codend and I don’t see any obstacle to developing something that works for small fish as we have

done for larger fish, by adjusting meshes to the appropriate size,” Michael Lassen said, and commented that the abundance of seals has been a problem for the local fleet fishing for sandeel and brisling. By fitting this Excluder, the problem has been solved, so there should be no such difficulties in future.

“The net cone is fitted at the aft end of the belly, ahead of the codend. If it’s required, it takes the crew around an hour to fit it to the trawl,” he said.

Purse seine’s record catch A purse seine for Norwegian pelagic vessel Slaaterøy has broken a few records, with trips of as much as 2230 tonnes of herring in just three shots.

As the purse seine is so long and deep, it takes in a large volume,” said Asle Halstensen, skipper of Slaaterøy, which is based at Bekkjarvik in Austevoll, and owned

by K. Halstensen AS, adding that there is always an excitement to starting out with a new purse seine.

“It takes time before you are able to see how well it performs and you learn to use it properly. We have now been using this purse seine from Mørenot for a year and a half, and we see that it works very well. This is a purse seine that can take large catches

8 The Mørenot Austevoll team who made Slaaterøy’s record-breaking purse seine

without us having to be afraid of losing the catch. This is important both for us and for the stock.”

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

Slaaterøy’s purse seine was developed by Mørenot, and Amund Møgster Hatlevik, department manager at Mørenot Austevoll, believes that the company’s bank of skills and experience, as well as the close dialogue with the customer, are important criteria.

“The unique thing about the environment here at Austevoll is that we are very close to the customers and the market. Everyone knows everyone, and when we end the working day we have a coffee with our customers,” he said.

“This means that we get a lot of useful input that is used to constantly further develop and modernise the gear to meet the customers’ needs.”

FISHING TECHNOLOGY Following some years of research and development, Garware formally launched its X1s, a new compact trawl netting, showing it for the first time at the DanFish exhibition.

It has been more than ten years since Garware launched SNG (Sapphire New Generation) netting that is in widespread use around the world, but for a couple of years the company’s marketing and R&D team have been working closely with customers to get a sense of what kind of new netting the trawling sector requires.

Customers were practically unanimous that they wanted to retain the qualities of SNG, but wanted to see twine sizes reduced – and this has been achieved through two years of extensive development work. The result is the X1s range, offering a 10-15% diameter reduction compared to SNG, but without compromising on strength. The key attributes of SNG – compactness, low shrinkage, abrasion resistance and mesh stability –are retained in X1s.

The first trials took place on board fly shooters in Norway, with skippers reporting reduced drag and easy towing. Further trials in Morocco, Holland and Spain are underway, with good initial results.

“X1s netting is designed to optimise twine strength, knot strength and mesh strength, to

avoid skewing during fishing. Made for the belly and wing sections of the trawl, we expect X1s will help our customers stay ahead,” said head of Garware’s R&D division Kishor Darda.

“As the diameter of the twine reduces, it’s important to work on all aspects of the net making process, and not just twine production.”

Global product manager (trawling division) Vivek Kumar commented that with oil prices on

“We are hoping to upgrade all our existing customer to X1s over two or three years, and to add new customers,” he said.

NUEVA PESCANOVA INAUGURATES AQUACULTURE R&D&I CENTRE The Nueva Pescanova Group has opened the first private aquaculture research centre in Spain.

The company expects this €7.50 million investment to place it at the forefront of aquaculture research worldwide

8 Nueva Pescanova has put a €7.50 million investment into its private aquaculture research centre at O Grove in Spain

According to its president José María Benavent, the Nueva Pescanova Group’s commitment to aquaculture as a complementary activity to fishing aims to ensure the availability of marine resources for future generations, while promoting greater protection of wild fishing grounds.

He commented that since the 1980s, Nueva Pescanova has been farming turbot in Galicia.

“For several years we were the only producers of farmed turbot in the world and this has led the Group to become a global leader in this species,” he said.

In Nicaragua, Guatemala and Ecuador, the Nueva Pescanova Group farms vannamei shrimp on a total surface area of 7,000 hectares of natural lagoons equivalent to 15,000 football pitches.

“Morgan Stanley, in its study The future of Foods, published in 2020, forecasted that in the decade from 2020 to 2030 aquaculture would grow at a compound annual rate of 5%, reaching a global volume of 300 billion dollars in value in 2030,” José María Benavent said.

Located at O Grove in Pontevedra, the 4000 square metre centre has its own solar photovoltaic park with an annual energy production capacity of almost 300,000kWh, and a staff of more than 40 researchers who have already achieved the world milestone of replicating the octopus reproduction cycle in aquaculture. The specimens born in captivity have not only reached adulthood, but reproduce outside their natural habitat.

To date, work is already underway with the fifth generation of octopuses. Lourditas, the first octopus to be born in aquaculture, grow up and reproduce at the Nueva Pescanova facility, already has great-great-grandchildren who have just

become parents themselves. The Nueva Pescanova Group aims to commercialise the world’s first farmed octopus in the summer of 2022.

Pescanova Biomarine is working on several projects in collaboration with technology partners, universities and research centres to achieve progress in digital transformation and sustainability. These include the work carried out with Artificial Intelligence and Big Data technologies in shrimp aquaculture alongside Microsoft. 100% of the processes can now be monitored automatically and in real time, boosting the efficiency and sustainability of the farms, guaranteeing food traceability and improving animal health and welfare.

The Pescanova Biomarine Center also features a museum with the purpose of disseminating awareness of the importance of preserving marine ecosystems and provides an overview of the history of aquaculture – which has roots that can be traced back to China in 3500BC, as well as its benefits, future and new technologies to guarantee animal welfare.

AQUACULTURE

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN AQUACULTURE A popular subject of discussion in the maritime sector for some time now, artificial intelligence is gradually establishing itself in fish farming. Sunderland Marine Aquaculture Manager Duncan Perrin and risk management surveyors James Simison and Allan Lyons outline the applications and advantages of AI in the fish farming industry – but also offer a word of caution

8 There significant applications and advantages of AI for the fish farming industry, but these come with a word of caution

Being a much smaller, younger and lower-profile industry than shipping, aquaculture is at a less advanced stage in its adoption of artificial intelligence and related technologies.

Yet as AI continues to mature and its price steadily falls, more and more fish farmers will see the advantages it offers as simply too good to ignore.

AI is already being deployed in aquaculture to optimise feeding. The method sees cameras programmed to distinguish feed pellets from seaweed and other detritus installed at depth within pens to monitor feed uptake. If too many pellets pass the camera – meaning they have not been eaten – the system automatically shuts down and alerts the technician that food is being wasted. This spares staff countless hours watching screens and allows them to have several pens fed at the same time. It also saves money on feed, one of the major costs in running a fish farm.

Alongside feeding, the most crucial factor in rearing healthy fish is the quality of the water in which they are kept.

Water-quality monitoring is therefore another common application for AI in aquaculture, with systems able to alert operators when, for example, dissolved oxygen levels drop

18 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2022

below the normal range. In addition, the technology can monitor the status of the machinery that regulates water quality, notifying the technician of any potentially dangerous issues – such as a valve being left open or closed for too long or a lever being in the wrong position.

Also essential to the health of fish is delousing. In this context, AI is used to monitor the presence of sea lice on salmon, with cameras identifying the individual lice, counting and measuring them and determining their stage of development. This allows farmers to assess the risk posed by the parasites and respond appropriately. Yet some farms are now automating the delousing process, installing technology that pinpoints lice and exterminates them with lasers that, unlike certain medicines, cause no harm to the fish or the environment.

Ultimately, automation will be ubiquitous in aquaculture.

Having systems monitor various processes and conditions and share information with operators is a time- and costeffective use of AI, but programming systems to control these conditions themselves is even more valuable.

Accordingly, the next step for AI in onshore farms will see the

‘‘

technology not only monitoring but also regulating concentrations of dissolved gases in the water. It will achieve this by activating and deactivating equipment such as aerators to maintain a healthy environment for fish.

While the above examples demonstrate the undeniable value of AI in aquaculture, the industry must take care not to become overly reliant on the technology at the expense of a skilled and experienced workforce. From an insurance perspective, leaving a small team in charge of millions of fish is simply too risky – and yet it may seem like an attractive proposition to some fish farmers.

A high level of automation is particularly appealing in offshore aquaculture, where it is costly and inconvenient to send personnel to remote locations to handle routine but labour-intensive tasks – like feeding and water-quality monitoring – that a computer can perform automatically.

However, a highly automated set-up increases the threat of cyber-attacks, and in a remote setting, the physical risks of having a small number of staff on site are exacerbated.

A less tangible but equally critical issue is that of human intuition. Farmers of any kind possess an understanding of

their animals that machines cannot – and might never – replicate. This instinct is passed from generation to generation and honed with experience, but an over-reliance on technology threatens to suppress it. The bulk of the responsibility in aquaculture should therefore remain with the farmers.

Nevertheless, when deployed as a tool and not as a replacement for human expertise, AI is a remarkably useful technology that promises to enhance the efficiency and profitability of the aquaculture industry as well as the welfare of the fish on which it relies.

iFARM AIMS TO IMPROVE FISH WELFARE WITH AI

Photo: iFarm

The iFarm project, ongoing since January 2020, is currently in its second phase. An entire sea site among Norway’s Vesterålen is now equipped with an iFarm setup in all the net pens, after the fish was stocked there this autumn

In this phase, the project will conduct real full-scale testing of the concept and technology. The goal in this collaboration between Cermaq and BioSort, with ScaleAQ as the main supplier of farming equipment for the project, is to increase fish health and welfare with artificial intelligence and machine learning.

In the first phase, iFarm equipment was rigged in individual net pens at the Martnesvika site. The main focus in Martnesvika has been to monitor fish behaviour and gain experience with the new equipment in the pens. The experience gained so far has been used to adjust equipment and setup for phase 2 of the project. This means that the iFarm equipment that is put into sea in phase 2 at Langøyhovden is a little different than the equipment in phase 1 in Martnesvika.

“Among other things, we have seen that the design of the sensor housing and the openings the fish must swim through to get to the surface affect the fish’s swimming pattern,” said iFarm project manager Karl Fredrik Ottem. “We are dependent on the fish choosing to swim through the sensor house, so in this phase we are putting out six different sensor houses with different geometric designs, to test which houses the salmon prefer. Then we will also know which sensor houses we will use in phase 3, when we are going to stock fish for the third time in the project.”

The six houses that have now been put into sea have been put together on land at Myre in Vesterålen, before they have been transported to the sea site and installed in the net pens, at a depth of eight metres.

20 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2022

8 A sensor house being installed in one of the net pens at the sea site

“We have many good-quality cameras so that we can constantly monitor how the fish swim and ensure that it eats and thrives. So far, it seems that the fish are getting used to new equipment in the net pen, at both Martnesvika and Langøyhovden,” he said.

Subheading Even though the fish seem to thrive and grow well, not everything runs completely smoothly in such an innovative development project. With so much equipment down in the net pen, it has been demanding to find good solutions for both camera cleaning and equipment maintenance.

“There are large and complex installations that either have to be lifted up to be maintained, or we have to go under water to get to it, and it has been demanding to find good routines to make this happen while we take care of the fish’s wellbeing,” Karl Fredrik Ottem explained.

“But we also take these experiences with us when we look at the design and adjustment of equipment and setup for the next phase.”

As the fish is kept ten meters down in the net pen with iFarm, fewer lice have been observed on the salmon there. “We reckon that we have saved a minimum of one de-lousing operation on the iFarm fish during phase 1 at Martnesvika, even though we only have iFarm set-up in single net pens there,” he said.

“At Langøyhovden we have iFarm set-up in all the net pens, and it will be very interesting to see what eventual effect it will have on lice levels.”

DATA SCIENCE FOR RELIABLE DISEASE CONTROL Diseases such as pasteurellosis and infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) wreak havoc on fish health and highlight the need for continuous research on health and disease. In the meantime, farmers want a secure, reliable way to share information with one another and ample time to evade disease, reports Bonnie Waycott

8 “We looked to Norway, where the health status of the country’s farmed salmon is publicly available in real time,” explained Manolin’s Tony Chen

Thanks to a new alert system, salmon farmers are using technology to get ahead of disease outbreaks. Fortunately, much of the information required to prevent disease is already available and can now be used by farmers to predict the early onset of any outbreaks. With a key focus on building disease detection models to fuel sustainability in aquaculture, Norwegian software and data analytics firm Manolin launched a new system in 2021 that automatically alerts farmers to potential diseases in their area.

“Our work started with the issue of disease and how problems spread in the ocean for farmers,” said Tony Chen, CEO and founder of Manolin.

“My co-founder and I worked in government consulting in the US and learned about the problems that oyster farmers were experiencing. The farmers wanted to be warned of risks like algal blooms, for example by deploying sensors away from their farms so they could be notified in advance.

Knowing things ahead of time is very important for farmers and this issue of how things spread in the ocean really intrigued us. We were inspired to go down our current route, and we recognised that the best place to provide these

22 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2022

insights was the salmon farming sector, so we looked to Norway, where the health status of the country’s farmed salmon is publicly available in real time.”

Manolin uses industry data to predict the early onset of diseases on salmon and trout farms. Under its alert system, farmers receive notifications through their own Manolin dashboard and via email whenever a change is detected.

Data is brought in from Norway’s public and private sectors and five-week forecasts on significant risks are provided.

Diseases such as pancreas disease (PD) and ISA as well as sea lice are all tracked by Norway’s government regulators, and any sites at risk from these are identified.

Immediate notification Manolin’s system also notifies farmers of the risk of nonnotifiable diseases such as pasteurellosis (farms are not obliged to notify regulators about an outbreak of these diseases). It is also designed to detect all causes of mortalities and issue notifications immediately. Just two days or even hours can have a huge impact on farms as far as decisionmaking goes, Tony Chen explained, and immediate notifications

AQUACULTURE enable preventative action such as altering feed (giving fish probiotics or a different type of feed to boost the immune system), harvesting schedules (in case growth is temporarily stunted and fish welfare reduced in the event of disease) and adjusting sea lice strategies. All data is anonymised as much as possible.

“Data privacy is something that we track very closely,” he said.

“For example, when it comes to non-notifiable diseases, we never identify exactly which farm they are coming from.

However, for something like sea lice, you can assert whether there are any issues pretty quickly by looking at the public data. The Norwegian government requires reporting at a weekly level per site, and Norway does a really good job of sharing this information through its networks. Most farmers and a lot of vets across the industry are constantly watching that data set. We just open that up.”

With disease outbreaks a significant threat to Norwegian farmers, Manolin’s new system comes with an array of benefits. It gives farms more time to plan biosecurity measures that can minimise the impact of particular diseases for their area and the entire industry. The sector also has a collaborative aspect that cannot be avoided if it is to succeed and grow, and Manolin’s system makes a key contribution by sharing information and providing value.

According to Tony Chen, a multitude of factors in the water affects fish health, so the more information that’s available, the more accurate insights become, and this gives the industry even more room to improve.

“Issues such as fish welfare are at the top of everyone’s minds for improving sustainability, and it has been really interesting to see how quickly changes can happen in the salmon farming sector,” he said.

“For example, the number of PD vaccines that have been released over the last two to three years is exponential. The amount of investment that farms are already putting in to address disease is also considerable. There is a lot of interest in what is going on and we find that extremely exciting.

Farmers see actions happen when they need to make changes and we believe our disease alert system can be central to that.”

Transparency Manolin currently has presence throughout the Norwegian coastline, with new customers continuing to come on board.

Some of the company’s core users have seen mortality rates decrease significantly on their farms. The system has also

enabled key conversations on how industry data can be used and decisions made. Tony Chen also believes that it can make important contributions to sustainable aquaculture as a whole and to how aquaculture is portrayed and perceived.

“Transparency is extremely important in salmon farming,” he said.

“Farmers have been unsure about all the health and sea lice data that has been made public, but now they are big supporters of it. They are sharing a lot more, they can have productive conversations and they have much more data to back up their decisions with. Thanks to the system, we are also understanding the effectiveness of certain treatments like lasers or specific feeds, and getting towards those answers creates a more equitable system because farmers know what they are buying and investing in and can have an expected outcome from what they are choosing. What we are doing is critical to weeding out the noise in the industry and highlighting what’s really happening.”

Manolin aims to further develop its alert system by bringing in more data and applying that to the system’s forecasts. It also plans to expand into other markets, such as Scotland and the US, and investigate how the system’s data could help from a climate change, sustainability and traceability standpoint. The company also says that its system would easily transfer to other species and regions, and is planning to work with farmers of other species such as seaweed, shellfish and shrimp.

FABRIC BARRIER AGAINST SEA LICE Mowi Chile has successfully evaluated fabric developed by Garware as a mechanical barrier against Caligus larvae

8 Developed as a mechanical barrier to lice for salmon farms, Garware’s X12 fabric is available in several grades to suit local conditions, and blocks 99.6% of Nauplius larvae and 99.7% of Copepodidae larvae

allows water to flow through, preventing lice from entering. It allows 80 times more water flow than a common anti-lice fabric designed for the same purpose,” commented Marcos Jofré at Garware Technical Fibres.

“The weave of the X12 fabric blocks the entry of the early stages of the parasite and allows for an adequate exchange of water. This is a non-pharmacological product, as part of strategies to reduce the use of drugs, with field experience showing a reduction in bathing frequency of up to 50%, with a reduction in lice of up to 60%. We developed a threedimensional fabric with an opening of 80 to 150 microns for Norway, and a second generation of 60 to 100 microns for Chile, given that the local sea louse is smaller, resulting in a product adapted for the domestic market.”

The analysis examines entry of these larvae at varying current velocities and the attachment to fish, and the result is a high quality fabric that makes it possible to contain infestations, while allowing for necessary natural oxygenation.

The Huenquillahue research centre in Mowi Chile has spent months analysing the larval retention capacity of Caligus rogercresseyi on Garware fabrics to be used as a barrier in salmon farms, evaluating aspects of performance; the capacity to retain C. rogercresseyi larvae, estimates of the percentage of larvae entering at different current speeds and checking fish for the attachment of the copepodites that manage to pass through the fabric.

“The effectiveness tests on the fabrics carried out in conjunction with the Universidad Austral de Chile, to combat Caligus, have given good results and we are considering them among the alternatives of non-drug management to harness this parasite,” stated the health department at Mowi Chile, indicating that X12 fabric blocks 99.6% of Nauplius larvae and 99.7% of Copepodite larvae.

The results of the study conducted by the Universidad Austral highlight the evaluation of cages containing fabric in a test channel for estimating permeability to larval passage, recording a 99.6% blockage of entry to the cage of Nauplius larvae and 99.7% of Copepodite larvae. In each case, the amount of water used was 340 litres with 3700 larvae per trial, totalling over 133,800 larvae, where water flow was applied at current velocities of 0.5, 2 and 3.5 cm*s-1.

So, the latest generation of Garware X12 fabric that is recommended as a mechanical barrier against C. rogercresseyi larvae has been shown to have high quality characteristics, also allowing for water flow without any major resistance at medium flow velocities, which should be favourable for maximising the natural oxygenation of the culture centre.

The new trawler has a 65.60 metre overall length and a 16 metre beam, providing greater deck, factory and fishroom space compared to the previous vessel, which was built in Spain for its original owners in Norway before changing hands several times under the Icelandic flag. It has now been sold to Russia and will be operating in the Far East.

Nesfiskur went to naval architect Skipasýn to design a new trawler to meet their requirements for more efficient operation and more economic running, and Armon was selected as the builder. Once the planning and preparation were completed, Armon’s Vigo yard built the new Baldvin Njálsson in only fifteen months. Although a delay in delivery had been predicted due to Covid-19 and its effects on the yard’s working methods, the new trawler was handed over practically according to the original schedule.

“Armon is very proud to have built this vessel for Nesfiskur,” said Ricardo Garcia, commercial director at Astilleros Armon.

“Taking into account that both Armon and Nesfiskur are family companies, the relationship and collaboration between us throughout the whole project has been the main ingredient in achieving a very successful end product. Thanks to the massive propeller diameter that’s a feature of the Skipasýn design, the results on the recent sea trials surpassed everyone’s expectations. We would like to wish crew of Baldvin Njálsson full codends and safe trips.”

Baldvin Njálsson docked for the first time in Iceland at the end of November, after a delivery trip from Vigo that took it through a bout of heavy winter weather.

26 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2022

Like its predecessor, Baldvin Njálsson has a Wärtsilä main engine and this is in the same power range as that of the older trawler – but driving a significantly larger propeller to deliver a 72-tonne bollard pull, as well as providing a 15 knot top speed.

The Wärtsilä propulsion system includes a 6L32 main engine and SCV100 reduction gearbox with a 9.03:1 ratio. This powers a 5-metre propeller inside a nozzle. The arrangement is designed to minimise fuel consumption and emissions, as well as noise levels and vibration, the result is also one of the quietest propulsion systems for a vessel of this kind.

Electrical power for the ship’s systems is derived from a floating-frequency 1875kW shaft generator, which allows a reduction of main engine revolutions, depending on 8 The deck is laid out with three full length trawl lanes, and a single net drum mounted over the deck

conditions, as well as from the 596kW Scania D116 gensets.

Steering gear is from Hydramarin and the rudder is a Becker high-lift unit, and a 400kW, 1300mm bow thruster aids manoeuvrability.

Baldvin Njálsson has accommodation for a crew of up to 28 in six single and eleven twin cabins, and operates with two full crews.

Nesfiskur took the option of electric deck equipment from Ibercisa, with three main 250kW, 48-tonne trawl winches placed above and clear of the working deck, and controlled by a Scantrol autotrawl system.

There is a bank of six 55kW, 15-tonne sweepline winches at the head of the three full-length trawl lanes where three sets of gear can be ready for use, and there is a single 110kW, 29-tonne net drum over the deck.

Ibercisa also supplied the 24kW, 24-tonne gilsons and 13-tonne outhaul winches, which are partnered by 0.60-tonne backhaulers. There are 55kW, 13-tonne codend winches each side of the aft deck, plus there are 4-tonne auxiliary winches, 0.60-tonnes backstrop lifts, gear handling winches for the trawl deck and an anchor winch from Ibercisa. The Ferri deck cranes are 60t/m and 20t/m units.

Baldvin Njálsson is fishing with a single Hátoppur and a

pair of Bacalao trawls for twin-rigging, supplied by Netagerð Suðurnesja, and the gear is spread with a 10.50 square metre pair of Injector Shark trawl doors supplied by Mørenot, along with an 8500kg centre weight.

The factory deck has been fitted out with an Optimar system for producing whitefish fillets, and processing lines for H&G redfish and Greenland halibut, with heading and gutting systems, and electronic grading according to grade and weight. Kapp supplied an Optim-ICE BP 120 slurry ice system for cooling catches prior to processing.

Production is routed to a highly automated freezing and packing arrangement, with the packed cartons delivered to the vertical and horizontal freezers, which have an 80 tonne/ day throughput capacity.

Frozen products are automatically discharged from the freezers and pass to a freezing hotel where these are held until the right number of boxes of a each type have been produced, when these are automatically palletised, wrapped and transferred by elevator to the 1720 cubic metre fishroom.

The refrigerated fishroom has its own forklift for stacking the full pallets. Palletised operation results in savings when landing catches, as pallets are already sorted and can go direct to cold storage ashore without needed to be sorted.

STELLENDAM YARD DELIVERS ZEEBRUGGE BEAMER

Photo: Damen Shipyards

The latest in a number of new fishing vessels for the Belgian fleet, the 38-metre Franson Z-91 has been delivered to Rederij Long Ships with a ceremony held outside the Zeebrugge fish auction

Franson was christened by godparents Shirley Cattoor and Chris Cocquyt, and the new trawler replaces the Francine Z-90.

The BT3808 design has been developed by Damen Maaskant in Stellendam to fit the maximum tonnage and length permitted by the Belgian Maritime Inspectorate. The design includes propulsion optimised for bollard pull and economic operation.

The hull was floated off in Poland during the Covid-19 pandemic and brought to the yard in Stellendam for outfitting.

Rederij Long Ships’ owner Eddie Cattoor is impressed that the yard was able to deliver Franson on time, given the challenges brought about by COVID-19.

“I am proud of our Franson. With this modern ship we can fight against all the difficult periods that the fishing industry is experiencing. What is certainly important, this beautiful ship will enable us to attract young talent again. This is vital because they are the future of the Flemish fisheries,” Eddie Cattoor said.

“They will definitely experience job satisfaction, given this safe, efficient and ergonomic new fishing vessel. Franson meets all the modern and contemporary requirements and this is coupled with the best accommodation for the crew, who have to work hard for many days at sea.”

Franson will operate year-round in

28 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2022

the North Sea and the Skagerrak and, in the summer, the Bay of Biscay.

The new beamer has a 1020hp ABC main engine turning a SIP Marine propeller inside matching nozzle via a Reintjes reduction gearbox, and the refined design of the hull and propulsion layout has resulted in an extra 12% in bollard pull.

The ten-drum fishing winch is supplied by Luyt and he new beamer was rigged by CIV Westvoorn.

Scheepstimmerijbedrijf IJtama completed the carpentry work on board fitting out the wheelhouse and accommodation spaces, while Alphatron Marine supplied the wheelhouse electronics. The electrical installation was completed by Sea & Shore, and WETEC installed the controls for the winch and the JVS Jastram bow thruster.

The catch handling system and the weighing and registration system in the fishroom are from VCU, while the chiller system is from Roeleveld Koeltechniek and ISOB Isolatiespuiten insulated the fishroom.

“The new BT3808 is a well thought out evolution of our earlier, proven designs and therefore ready for the future,” said Damen project manager John van der Maas.

“We are sincerely grateful for the pleasant cooperation with the Cattoor family and everyone else who has contributed to this success,” agreed Damen Maaskant’s commercial manager Jeroen van den Berg.

OCEANGOING AQUACULTURE VESSEL GAINS RINA APPROVAL Classification society RINA has announced the Approval in Principle (AiP) of a new-concept offshore fish-farming vessel 8 The planned Ocean Ark would have capacity for 4000 tonnes of biomass

The fish-farming Ocean Ark vessel is developed by Ocean Arks Tech of Chile (OATECH) in accordance with RINA Rules and Marpol, Solas and IMO regulations. The Ocean Ark vessel delivers a new approach to fish farming and is set to revolutionise the industry by dramatically improving fish health, crew comfort and the industry’s image.

OATECH founder Rodrigo Sanchez Raccaro won the IberoAmerican Innovation Honour, Chile’s national innovation award. His drawings gave rise to the Ocean Ark, and he invited notable industry pioneers and thinkers who now form the Ark team to join the venture. Among these are Cristino Stange, Héctor Ruiz and Andrés Fuentes – former Chilean fish-farming CEOs and entrepreneurs, innovators for the worldwide industry and former officers of the Chilean Navy.

The ocean may offer the only opportunity for fish-farming to meet the nutritional needs of a growing world population.

Deploying Ocean Ark away from marine heatwaves, algae blooms and storms – aquaculture’s three Achilles’ heels – would produce higher quality protein and increase world fish production without increasing pressures on fish stocks and coastal habitats.

“Sustainability is a core strategic pillar at RINA, but this is not just about reducing carbon emissions,” said RINA Marine Principal Engineer for North West Europe, Patrizio Di Francesco.

“A sustainable food production chain is also needed to supply an increasing global demand for nutrition. We believe

aquaculture in the open sea is one solution that will help for the future.”

Newbuild line-up The fish-farming vessel is a selfpropelled, AI-assisted, low emissions trimaran with a 170 metre length and a breadth of 64 metres. Artificial intelligence and self-cleaning fish cages of copper help secure fish health and welfare. While finance is secured for several units, MOU’s to build the Ocean Arks are signed with a range of world-leading shipyards that include China Merchants Industry holdings, Tersan and CIMC Raffles.

With its capacity of 4000 tonnes of biomass, this technology allows for the low-density production of healthier, higher-quality fish at lower costs than the offshore, land-based and coastal aquaculture systems now available.

The Ocean Ark could operate near Asian, US and EU consumer markets for a major drop in transport emissions.

“This is an unusual vessel. Its AiP presents a milestone for both the fish farming industry and for the classification of ships with an unconventional design. It is an innovative approach to the sustainable harvesting of fish to help ensure food security and sovereignty and one which may revolutionise fish farming for the future” Patrizio Di Francesco said.

NEW TRAWLER OFFERS COMFORT AND CAPACITY

Photo: MDI

The biggest fishing vessel to be built at the C Toms & Son yard in Cornwall, and also the largest for the UK market to be designed by Marine Design International (MDI) for twenty years, Lochinchard III has been built for skipper Ian Mackay and is already fishing off the west of Scotland

The 19.70 metre Lochinchard III replaces the Mackay family’s wooden-hulled trawler that was built for them in 1984, and it offers significant advances in both capacity and crew comfort.

Built from a kit, CNC cut and rolled in Holland and trucked to the yard in Cornwall for assembly, Lochinchard III’s design is based on successful Napier designs for fishing vessels Oruna and Demarus. Napier became part of MDI some years ago and the new trawler’s design is under the MDI Napier brand name.

The layout places the fishroom and tank space amidships, making trimming Lochinchard III easier, and the forward engine room puts noise sources as far as possible from the crew areas.

“Crew comfort was one of the main requirements in designing Lochinchard III, and this moves noise, fumes and heat away from the crew, which provides them with more comfortable accommodation,” explained naval architect Alasdair Honeyman at MDI, adding that this is contrary to the general preference for aft engine rooms, and while this also involved making some compromises in machinery space and exhaust routing, the outcome has made it worthwhile.

“This is fundamental to the clean hull lines aft and the reduction of trim throughout each trip so that the carefully considered hull continue to perform when loaded, hopefully to a deep draught,” he said.

Accommodation is laid out with a galley/mess area and a skipper’s cabin with en-suite facilities at deck level, and three two-berth crew cabins below.

The 478kW Baudouin 6M33.2 main engine and 295kW Baudouin 6W126 APU genset are both supplied by Proteum,

8 Lochinchard III is the largest fishing vessel to be delivered by C Toms & Son

the UK and Ireland distributor for Moteurs Baudouin, plus Watermota delivered a Doosan AD 136TI developing 80kva.

All of the engines are raw water cooled.

The main engine powers a Reintjes reduction gear to turn a 2100mm, four-bladed propeller inside a double curvature high-efficiency nozzle, both supplied by Kort Propulsion, along with the triple foil section rudder and the KT-120 hydraulic tunnel thruster. Steering gear is from Wills Ridley.

“A bollard pull test was carried out at the yard in Polruan and the predicted 11-tonne pull turned out to be a steady 12.20 tonnes,” Alasdair Honeyman said.

Two 12-tonne Thistle Marine 3TW-12 single barrel winches are located forward under the shelterdeck, while the midwire winch is under a shelter behind the wheelhouse. All three are controlled by a Scantrol autotrawl system. Trawl blocks and sheaves are supplied by Flemings Fairleads (F.R. Belbin).

The twin 10-tonne SND-20 split net drums have a 2.20 metre outer diameter and are located at main deck level. A 13t/m Thistlelift MKB13 powerblock crane is mounted on the gantry aft with a reach over every area of the trawl deck aft.

A 6t/m Guerra folding knuckleboom landing crane type M65.20A1 is mounted on the port shelterdeck top for discharging iced catches from the 500-box capacity fishroom.

The catch handling deck is arranged with a transverse sorting and gutting belt, with three fish washers and space for baskets for sorting catches. An icemaker on the port side of the main deck feeds an ice locker in the fishroom with fresh water ice, and Lochinchard III has a 20 tonne fresh water capacity to ensure both the domestic supply and enough to keep the fishroom stocked with ice.
