Fresh from setting a new seafood export record – breaking the NOK 100 billion sales barrier for the first time – Norway could go on to double this value in the next decade, according to trade body, the Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC).

In 2019, Norway exported 2.7 million tonnes of seafood products worth a record NOK 107.3 billion, with increased sales in both the aquaculture and fisheries sectors. Growth was aided by a weak Norwegian krone and improved market access. At the same time, prices had risen for several of the Scandinavian country’s most important seafood export products.

Alongside these results, the NSC stated that there is

an “increasing willingness” in most markets for consumers to pay for sustainable food. This, it said, is due to the escalating importance that climate, environment and health issues have, particularly among younger generations.

The council’s own analysis suggests that if Norwegian seafood can be positioned as “the most sustainable option” then the export value can potentially reach NOK 200 billion by 2030.

Changing attitudes

The ocean has been seen as the obvious rubbish dump for as long as there have been people on Earth

It’s little short of astonishing what can turn up in the codend of a trawl.

Tyres, shoes, clothes, toys, cups, forks and spoons, condoms, bottles, and those endless plastic shopping bags. Then there are the weird and wonderful items, such as the occasional fridge or motorbike, just to make life interesting when you’re shaking the fish down.

The ocean has been seen as the obvious rubbish dump for as long as there have been people on Earth, but attitudes change and it’s still a surprise to see today there’s nothing unusual about seeing ton bags of rubbish on the quayside. It hasn’t taken all that many years for the fishing industry – in some parts of the world – to change its mentality and bring the garbage ashore. This isn’t just the waste generated on board, but the junk that has found its way into the ocean, much of it during the roughly seventy years that humans have been producing plastic.

Fishermen in countries where the problem has been effectively highlighted now routinely collect all this crap and bring it ashore – although what happens to it after that isn’t always as clear as it could be.

The fishing sector’s supply industry has also stepped up and made some serious efforts in the right direction, participating in recycling operations, finding ways to re-use materials in what is in fact a far more complex business than it appears at first glance – there are dozens varieties of plastic and they can’t be simply dumped in together.

There have even been successful efforts to do the impossible, finding ways to strip down used seine rope, separating the steel and plastic into the right directions.

But there are still many parts of the world where the idea of not dropping something when you’ve finished with it is seen as plain nuts, and it doesn’t help that some of the big producers of plastic waste don’t appear to be making any serious efforts to scale back their volume of disposable junk.

It’s remarkable – and encouraging – to see how much of a change in attitude has taken place over a relatively few years in an industry that generally doesn’t willingly change its mind.

The next challenge is going to be bringing that same change in attitude to other parts of the world, and to convince both multinational corporations and consumers of the need to change their ways.

RISING SEAFOOD PRICES WILL HELP DOUBLE NORWAY’S EXPORT VALUE BY 2030 Ingrid Kristine Pettersen, seafood analyst at the NSC, commented that Norway’s growth in export value (measured in NOK) over the last 10 years has been linear, and had grown by NOK 5.9 billion each year, reports Jason Holland “Our best estimate is that this linear growth will continue to 2030 and reach about NOK 170 billion,” she said. “However, studies have [also] shown that there is a significant price premium for ecolabelled or seafood that has any label indicating that it is sustainable – ranging from about 10 to 20%.”

At the same time, NSC’s consumer studies from 2019 found that about 5% of consumers are willing to pay a premium for sustainable seafood.

“With the increased awareness of the importance of sustainability we believe that this share will increase a lot in the years to come.

“Seafood from Norway is sustainable, and we believe that by communicating this clearly, potentially all seafood from Norway can achieve this premium.”

While the value rise will come mainly from increased prices, with less growth expected in volume terms, Ingrid Kristine Pettersen said that the NSC does foresee 3% annual increases in Norway’s salmon volumes.

“With land based and ocean farms, the volume increase would be doubled. But then we also believe that prices will decrease in the same amount given our

expectations about increases in demand. So the value will not change. The expected price increase will come from increased demand – and we believe that sustainability could be a very important demand shifter,” she said.

NSC’s latest figures confirmed that Norway’s aquaculture sector supplied 1.2 million tonnes of exports worth NOK 76.5 billion last year, representing volume and value increases of 7% and 8% respectively. In addition to this, its fisheries provided 1.5 million tonnes of products worth NOK 30.8 billion, with the volume falling 10%, but a 10% jump in value.

Farmed Atlantic salmon continued to be Norway’s dominant export species in both volume and value last year, with sales of 1.1 million tonnes (+6%), valued at more than NOK 72.5 billion (+7%).

8 In 2019 Norwegian producers set a new record by exporting seafood worth over NoK100 billion

Cod was the main wild-catch species, with exports of 181,000 tonnes valued at NOK 10.1 billion.

Lower quotas meant that the export volume was down 8%, but higher prices lifted the value of these exports by 7%.

In terms of markets, the EU provided the main destination for Norwegian seafood last year. This trade totalled 1.6 million tonnes worth NOK 68 billion, which represented annual volume and value increases of 7% and 4%, respectively.

Next was Asia, which bought 506,000 tonnes (+6%) of Norwegian seafood worth NOK 21.4 billion (+21%), followed by Eastern Europe with 168,000 tonnes (-2%) valued at NOK 4.3 billion (+19%).

ICELAND LICENSES FISH WASTE FOR PRODUCTION Iceland’s Minister of Fisheries Kristján Thór Júlíusson has confirmed alterations to regulations which license the use of all fish and aquaculture products for the production of fishmeal and fish oil for human consumption, subject to requirements for raw material to meet food quality standards.

Until now it has not been considered that certain parts of fish or fish products are suitable for such production, but these changes in the regulations now licence this, allowing full utilisation of such raw material in production of fishmeal

8 Iceland has revised restrictions on the use of fish and aquaculture raw material in fishmeal and fish oil production

and fish oil, with the intention of increasing the competitive standing of Icelandic producers. Similar

regulation is in place in Norway.

“The significant progress in full utilisation of marine raw materials is one of the strengths of the Icelandic seafood sector,” said Fisheries Minister Kristján Thór Júlíusson.

“Eighteen months ago I was informed that the regulations here concerning this production were for some reason stricter than in, for example, Norway. I commissioned work on this within the Ministry and the result is these changes.

This is a source of particular satisfaction as this enables Icelandic companies to make full use of these raw materials.”

INSIGHT The Future of Fishing

RAISING THE SWELL EU aquaculture production is at record levels, but the sector still has plenty of ground to cover before it comes close to meeting the demands of the market, writes Jason Holland

8 Surges in European aquaculture production can be largely attributed to rising production and prices of key species such as Atlantic salmon, sea bass and sea bream over the course of the decade

When it comes to harvested volumes, EU aquaculture has historically fallen well short of the world’s leading producing nations, but a new study finds that the region’s seafood farming sectors have been slowly but steadily ramping up their output. The report also points to market conditions that are ripe for sustaining long-term growth.

The latest edition of The EU Fish Market, compiled and published by the European Commission’s European Market Observatory for Fisheries and Aquaculture Products (EUMOFA) reveals that the bloc’s aquaculture production reached a 10year high of almost 1.4 million tonnes in 2017 and a value approaching €5.1 billion. Compared with 2007, this volume was 11% higher, while the value had almost doubled.

These surges can be largely attributed to the increased production and prices of key species such as Atlantic salmon, sea bass and sea bream over the course of the decade. In addition to the rising demand, EUMOFA identified that the quality of aquaculture products has improved, and there has also been increased development of some new species, such as meagre and Senegalese sole.

While a number of elements continue to hinder aquaculture volume growth across EU member states, in particular the bureaucratic red tape associated with licencing and access to suitable farming locations, in value terms, all of the commodity groups farmed in the EU reached record levels in 2017. The most significant growths compared with the previous year were registered by salmonids, which increased by 18% or €321 million. These species were followed by bivalves, which increased by 20% or €204 million, and freshwater fish – up by 19% or €55 million.

NATIONAL EXPERTISE Currently, EU aquaculture is led by a handful of member states: notably Greece for seabass and seabream, Spain for mussels and turbot, France for oysters, Italy for clams, and the United Kingdom (Scotland) for salmon. In fact, these five producing nations accounted for three-quarters of the region’s production in 2017 in both volume and value terms.

With regards to species, more than 40% of the value of EU farmed production in 2017 was represented by salmonids. In that year, 209,628 tonnes of salmon were produced in the EU, resulting in a total value in excess of €1.3 billion, while trout 6 | FEBRUARY 2020

production reached 195,417 tonnes, generating a total value of €689 million.

Of the region’s other main finfish species, the sea bream harvest increased by 14% in both volume and value to 94,936 tonnes and €485 million, while sea bass production experienced marginal declines to 79,102 tonnes and €490 million.

For the same period, EU mussel production reached 464,240 tonnes and a value of €423 million, the clam harvest totalled 45,505 tonnes and €297 million, and 99,857 tonnes of oysters valued at €492 million were farmed.

SLIPPING CONSUMPTION But while there’s growing consumer awareness of seafood as a rich source of healthy, high-quality protein, EUMOFA’s study estimates that the EU28’s per capita consumption of fish products fell to 24.35 kg in 2017, meaning that EU citizens consumed, on average, half a kilo less than in the previous year.

This decline can be attributed to a reduced supply.

Comprising domestic production and imports, the volume available to the market in 2017 totalled 14.6 million tonnes.

While this was one of the highest amounts in the past decade, it was down 0.3% or 48,640 tonnes from the previous year, due to a reduced wild catch.

However, it should be noted that EU aquaculture contributed an additional 67,172 tonnes of seafood, or 5% more than it did in 2016, offsetting much of the fisheries’ shortfall.

The volume and value of seafood imported into member states from third-countries, meanwhile, continues to increase, as does the EU’s standing as a net importer of these products.

In 2018, with domestic production totalling 5.4 million tonnes, imports reaching 9.2 million tonnes, and an export trade of almost 2.2 million tonnes, the EU trade deficit reached a high of more than €20 billion. In short, the consumer demand for seafood remains very high.

Indeed, according to the report, EU household expenditure on fish and seafood followed an upward trend from 2009 to 2018, when it reached €59.3 billion. This represented a 3% increase over 2017 and a 24% increase compared to 2009. In 2018, the households of all EU countries, with the exception of Sweden, spent more money buying these products than in 2017.

While Italy is historically the member state that spends the most on seafood, and Portugal has the greatest per capita For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

INSIGHT

expenditure, Spain recorded the highest increase of total outlay – spending an additional €400 million or 4% more than in the previous year.

BIGGER PICTURE With world consumption and population both rising at unprecedented levels, the international seafood trade is becoming ever more competitive. Global aquaculture production now stands almost 112 million tonnes (latest estimates from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations – FAO), and since 2000, its share of total world seafood production (a combined 205.2 million tonnes in 2017) has increased continuously. Moreover, since 2013, aquaculture production and consumption has been higher than that of wild catches.

In each of the world’s top four producing countries, the majority of production originates from aquaculture: more than 80% in China, 70% in Indonesia, and more than half in Vietnam and India. It is also worth noting that aquaculture in China accounts for 57% of total global fish and seafood production.

By contrast, only 21% of EU production originates from aquaculture. But this in itself is an opportunity for the EU to be more self-sufficient and less reliant on imported products – specifically through aquaculture.

The EU’s aquaculture product supply in 2017 amounted to almost 3.5 million tonnes, with that domestic contribution of less than 1.4 million tonnes, and more than 2.1 million tonnes of imports. Member states also exported 230,000 tonnes of aquaculture products, leaving an apparent consumption that was shy of 3.3 million tonnes.

In comparison, the apparent consumption of wild fisheries

products was 9.2 million tonnes, or 74% of the total. As such, the average EU citizen consumed 18kg of fish and seafood originating from catches and under 6.4kg from aquaculture.

But with wild fisheries only able to supply finite volumes of sustainable products and member states’ seafood demand largely being met by imports, there’s an increasingly heavy onus on EU aquaculture to overcome its various obstacles and establish pathways to much larger levels of production – thereby better positioning the sector to meet the strong future market demand for locally and responsibly produced seafood.

Against such a backdrop, this is surely the ideal time for it to make some waves.

ANALYSIS

RUSSIA’S BIG PLANS FOR POLLOCK Friction between the US and Russia, has in recent years extended into the seafood sector, notably the pollock industry, reports Eugene Gerden Consolidation in this industry in both the US and Russia has resulted in an escalation in competition. In Russia’s case, a change in the structure of pollock production and increase in the output of value-added products has made local producers more competitive in the global market. In addition, many of them have in recent years successfully renewed their pollock fishing capacity and modernised coastal processing infrastructure.

The latest activities of Russian pollock producers have already sparked concerns from their US rivals, which have faced declining sales of pollock worldwide, while the only product that has seen sales increases in both volume and in value has been surimi. However, due to falling prices for it globally, growth in revenue from its sales significantly lags behind growth in exports.

A spokesman of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, Dmitry Patruchev, commented that US pollock producers are expected to attempt to strengthen their positions in the key sale markets, at the expense of Russian competition.

Analysts at the Alaska Seafood Marking Institute have stated that it is important for US pollock producers to achieve more active promotion of their products on foreign markets, using experience from similar efforts in popularising wild salmon. They also also believe particular attention should be also paid to launching new products and expanding the range of products.

At present the majority of Russian and US pollock producers describe the present situation in the global pollock industry as “depressed,� as falling prices for pollock products led to growing stockpiles of unsold production.

Prices for Russian H&G pollock, a major product for the Russian pollock industry and mostly exported to China for further processing and production of block double-frozen fillets, rose to $1300-$1325 per tonne at the beginning of last year, from a US$1500 per tonne a year previously and US$17001800 a couple of year earlier.

Chinese processors are currently interested mainly in buying pollock of large sizes. However, both US and Russian producers are currently able to offer pollock of average and small sizes, which keeps prices low.

Experts at the Federal Agency for Fisheries had predicted that the 2019 catch could exceed two million tonnes, a significant increase on the 2018 figure of 1.80 million tonnes

ANALYSIS

According to predictions by the Alaska Seafood Marking Institute as well as analysts at Russia’s Federal Agency for Fisheries, due to the growing volume of unsold stocks, low pollock prices, as well as tightening of competition with Russian rivals, US producers could face serious difficulties on the global pollock market.

Experts at the Federal Agency for Fisheries had predicted that the 2019 catch could exceed two million tonnes, a significant increase on the 2018 figure of 1.80 million tonnes.

The Federal Agency for Fisheries had also predicted that as Russian companies begin on-board production of polock surimi and fillets, this will create conditions for their active expansion on global market with this product. In addition, this year Russian fishing companies also plan to increase the production of block pollock fillets and fillets and IQF portions.

Ilya Shestakov, head of the Federal Agency for Fisheries, last year pointed out that in 2018 Chinese enterprises produced 440,000 tonnes of fillets from Russian pollock, accounting for around 45% of the world production of pollock fillets. The total value of this production amounted to a value of US$1.3 billion and there is a possibility for 2019 the figures may significantly higher with growing output channelled to China and the Asia Pacific region. Predictions are that exports of Russian pollock to South Korea, Japan and China could be significantly cheaper than supplies from the US. According to the Federal Agency for Fisheries, the US wants to ensure duty-free and large-scale deliveries of pollock to the Asia-Pacific region, but is seeking higher prices than those of Russian producers.

The situation for the US pollock producers is aggravated by

predictions of warming seas across US fishing areas over the next 25 years which could lead to pollock migrating towards Russian sea areas. Figures have been quoted stating that this could affect as much as 35% of the pollock stocks in US fishing areas.

Focusing on Fishery Development

MARICULTURE PICKS UP IN RUSSIAN FAR EAST

reports Vladislav Vorotnikov

The Russian Far East is key commercial fishing region, and has also come under the spotlight for its mariculture production and strong export prospects, according to Roman Vityazev, chairman of the Far Eastern Union of Mariculture Companies, and director of Hyperion – a local company that has recently begun breeding sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus).

Primorsk Krai’s mariculture sector has seen some notable successes over the last year, following extensive efforts to secure rights to use territories classified as national conservation areas, both maintaining its existing farms and launching new ones. The Russian seafood sector as a whole last year worked in unison to have struck off a notorious legal anomaly that has been preventing the industry’s development.

“The Far Eastern Agency for Investment Attraction, the Far East Development Ministry and Far East Development Fund – all of them have been putting effort into resolving this.

Constant and substantial support has been provided by the Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Trutnev, Governor of Primorsk Krai Oleg Kozhemyako and regional agency of fisheries,” Roman Vityazev said, adding that fishermen from different associations and even the Russian Federal Fisheries Agency were engaged in the process, the eventual aim of which was to clarify the existing legislation and to leave business alone.

The problem was that a significant portion of the most promising areas in the region and so the most attractive ones for both Russian and foreign investors are included into national conservation areas under a regulation adopted decades ago during the Soviet era, placing them off-limits for aquaculture activity of any type.

“Those areas were in fact ‘frozen’ from an economic development standpoint. We expect that there will be legal users now for these areas, leading to an increase in the volume of commercial farmed products, as well as providing new workplaces and tax revenues. Of course, this has to take place with the strict compliance with ecological legislation,” said Roman Vityazev.

The decision could open up to 80,000 ha of water areas to aquaculture business. Its importance it hard to overestimate since that territory has the best growing conditions anywhere in Russian waters.

THE KEY TERRITORY Primorsk Krai is considered as one of the most promising regions in terms of aquaculture industry development in Russia, according to the Russian Fisheries Complex Programme for the period to 2030, recently approved by the Russian government.

This predicts that investments in the industry could reach Rub617 billion ($10 billion) over the next decade.

The programme considers that Primorsk Krai and Republic of Crimea are the most promising regions for aquaculture development in Russia, with primary focus on mussels, oysters, scallop, plus sea cucumber and sea urchin. These products are in demand not only on the domestic market, but also in Asian countries, including Japan, South Korea and China. The increasing demand for seafood in these countries is linked to 10 | FEBRUARY 2020

Mariculture producers in Primorsk Krai in the Russian Far East harbour plans to launch around 20 new projects with a projected 50,000 tonne annual production worth Rub6 billion ($95 million),

growing purchasing power, plus the development of tourism and catering industries.

The Russian authorities have set targets for seafood production across 50,000ha of marine areas by 2025, rising to 120,000ha by 2030. Primorsk Krai is expected to generate up to 90% of these new production volumes, while Crimea could account for the rest 10%, with Primorsk Krai having a clear advantage due to its border with China.

Fish and seafood already now generate close to half of the revenue from Primorsk Krai’s exports. 91 aquaculture companies have activities or are about to launch operations at 277 sites. Sea cucumber is among the products of particular interest to the region’s farmers. In 2018, Russian veterinary body Rosselhoznadzor obtained certificates to export a live weight of 17.2 tonnes of sea cucumber from Primorsk Krai, more than double the previous year’s figure. China remains the main export destination, and in 2018 around 2 tonnes of sea cucumber were also sent to Japan, the Federal Customs Service estimated.

It’s no surprise that Primorsk Krai companies believe it is time for the aquaculture industry in the Russian Far East to have its own development strategy.

“There’s a need to prepare a comprehensive strategy for aquaculture development in the Far East. The purpose of that programme document is to lay down the main targets in terms of industry development for the coming decade,” Roman Vityazev said.

8 Primorsk Krai is seen as one of the most promising regions for Russia’s aquaculture industry development

HYPERION IS ON THE WAY UP Hyperion is working towards launching industrial sea cucumber production in Primorsk Krai. The company has already tested its production technology and results have been encouraging.

“The method is based on the use of macro-tanks – large cages located in the natural habitat. At the same time, the flow of planktonic organisms in these cages is to an extent controlled through a capron mesh with fine nylon cells,” Roman Vityazev explained.

The company launched its sea cucumber farm in Posyet Bay in the Sea of Japan, installing 25 cages, each of which is For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

a 5 metre cube, with capronic fibre walls. 1651 adult sea cucumbers, ready for spawning and with an average weight of 310 grammes, were placed in these cages.

“Following spawning the adult sea cucumbers were removed from the cages and the artificial collectors were mounted. In early August, a selective survey of the collectors for layering of sea cucumber larvae was conducted,” he said.

In the first cage, the average density of juvenile sea cucumber was 188.6 ± 51.6 units per square metre. in the second cage, the average sedimentation density was 1271.5 ± 579.5 units, and a rate of 2244.9 ± 1103.2 units per square metre was identified, providing an average total sedimentation density of 1235.0 ± 466.7 units. Given the total area of the farm, the overall number of settled juveniles is 18.6 million individuals for all cages.

All the equipment and the farm’s components were acquired from China, and Chinese technicians assembled the production technology in sections. The entire structure was then towed to its permanent location.

“The methodology is Chinese, and we, together with scientists from the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, will test how it suits Russian conditions. In China they used to grow about five million sea cucumber from a single production unit. We hope that we will also be able to get similar volumes,” Roman Vityazev said.

This is the first time this technology for growing sea cucumber is used in Russia, and he commented that it only came into use in China three years ago, with juveniles usually bred in special facilities and not in the natural environment.

“The downside of breeding sea cucumber at the plant is that

the quality of the young animals and their survival rate is much lower than in the natural habitat,” Roman Vityazev said.

“In our project they grow and lives in macro-tanks, insulated from the sea. These are walled with fine mesh, selected so that juvenile sea cucumber can not escape, but at the same time, allowing all the necessary nutrients for the nutrition and growth of sea cucumbers pass through.”

For its second stage, Hyperion is planning to build a processing plant next to its farm in order to manufacture products with the higher added value.

Chinese mariculture company Dalian Shangpintang is a coinvestor in this project. It has been growing and processing sea cucumber and oysters in several Asian countries for over 30 years.

The 82.30 metre Avataq has an 18 metre beam and is designed by Skipsteknisk. It is Greenland’s largest fishing vessel, built to fish for shrimp, with options for fishing for Greenland halibut. This is the second new trawler for Royal Greenland delivered in 2019, following the completion of filleter factory trawler Sisimuit earlier in the year as the company makes changes to its fishing fleet.

Older vessels have been sold, with the previous Sisimiut acquired by Icelandic company Thorbjörn, which is running the trawler as Tómas Thorvaldsson, while Qaqqatsiaq is now operating for its new owners under a Baltic flag Avataq sailed from Bilbao in December and called in the Faroes where it was alongside in Tórshavn for Christmas, sailing before New Year to arrive in its home port of Nuuk in early January before heading out for a short shakedown trip.

Skipper Jogvan Trondarson has been with Royal Greenland for more than thirty years, and left shrimp trawler Akamalik to join the new vessel. He is no stranger to Vónin fishing gear, and several years ago Akamalik was chosen to test Vónin’s prototype Storm demersal doors.

“We have the full package from Vónin,” he said.

“This is almost standard gear, but because we have the possibility to tow three trawls, the gear is a little different. On Akamalik we use two 3900 mesh trawls, but to tow three trawls we have gone down to 3400 meshes instead,” he said.

“We have never done this before, so we decided to start low and we can increase the size of the trawls later if we need to.

But we have to be able to crawl before we try to walk.”

The full package of fishing gear has been supplied by Vónin, including 15 and 16m2 pairs of Storm trawl doors. The only part 12 | FEBRUARY 2020

of the package not sourced from Vónin was the pair of Rock weights for the middle warps.

‘We’ll start with the 16m2 doors, and then try the 15m2 doors to see if we can save some fuel.’

Avataq is fishing with four 3400 mesh Vónin 2014 shrimp trawls, a tried and tested design that is widely used across the North Atlantic. Vónin supplied the four trawls rigged on rockhoppers and complete with codends and sorting grids, as well as providing four sets of warps, a full inventory of deck gear, hardware and spare parts.

He commented that Avataq will use virtually the same gear in both Greenland and Barents Sea waters, the differences lying the codend mesh size requirements for each area, and for grids with different bar spacing to comply with the Norwegian regulations in the Barents Sea. 8 Avataq has four shrimp trawls on board as part of the all-Vónin gear package

TRAWL GEAR

The final delivery in a series of five new twinrigger/seine netters for the Osprey Fish Group in Urk has been completed by the Nodosa yard in Spain.

The five 28.60 metre LOA, 10 metre beam seiner/trawlers are not identical, with differences in choice of engines and other equipment, and for two of these vessels the owners opted for electric deck machinery systems supplied by Naust Marine. Neeltje PD-141 and Good Hope LH-257, delivered within a few weeks of each other, each have Naust Marine’s electric deck systems, centred around the combination trawl/seine winches with capacity for 4400 metres of 44mm seine rope on board during the winter fly-shooting season.

These winches have a nominal 21.70 tonne pull.

For the summer trawl fishery, the seine ropes are switched for warp, and the separate 15.30 tonne centre warp winch also comes into play for twin-rig trawling. A Naust Marine Automatic Trawl Winch (ATW) control system manages the three winches in both trawl and fly-shooting modes, plus deck and wheelhouse control options. In addition, the Naust Marine package includes electric control cabinets with watercooled frequency drives, supplied with integrated cooling system inside the cabinets.

The winch systems can be serviced and supported remotely via each vessel’s satcom.

NEW SEINER/TRAWLERS OPT TO GO ELECTRIC

The deck equipment for each vessel also includes a pair of 13-tonne, 11 cubic metre net drums mounted within the aft gantry, plus a pair of 12.80-tonne auxiliary winches. Deck cranes are supplied by Guerra.

8 Two of the twin-rigger/fly-shooters delivered to Osprey Fish Group have been fitted with Naust Marine’s electric deck equipment

KEEPING UP TO DATE WITH THE INDUSTRY’S DIGITAL REVOLUTION Icelandic software specialist Wise focuses on business solutions for all industry sectors and has gained a solid position as a leader in the development of software systems – not least for the seafood sector “We can say, and there’s no doubt about this, that there has been a technological revolution in vessel operation and the processing of marine products that has helped the Icelandic fishing industry to become a leader in this field. Icelandic fish processing plants are high-tech, and the fishing vessel fleet is equipped with the latest and most cutting-edge technical equipment for fishing operations,” said Jón Heiðar Pálsson, the company’s VP Sales, as he took stock of the achievements since Wise was established, and what the future has in store.

He said that the digital changes in the fisheries sector have been ongoing for some time, and much has changed over the thirty years that WiseFish has been under development.

“With the enormous progress that has been made in software design, technology has solved and is still solving complicated aspects within the business environment through automation and by reducing the amount of duplicated efforts and repetitive processes,” he said.

He listed numerous developments, such as electronic invoicing that dispatches invoices digitally, with lines in each invoice read into the system automatically and sent to the approval. Added to this, vessel reports containing data on catches and location are likewise routed directly into the systems, ensuring that it is possible to see in advance when and what will be discharged when the fishing vessel docks.

He commented that connections with peripheral devices, scales and printers have become standard, thus making it possible to “eliminate” typos.

“Repetitions of certain work are also eliminated. Information and inventory management become more accurate in a company’s systems. By using bar codes, all inventory management in and out of warehouses has become more consistent, as systems are as reliable as the information entered in them. All these factors have an impact on any company’s competitiveness. It’s in the hands of executive management to understand that technology is not only here to stay, it is also used to the greatest possible extent by competitors. Companies in the fisheries sector now have more and more detailed information on their operations, a better overview of inventory figures, more accurate utilisation of the resource and the perfect traceability of products,” he said.

He is adamant that it has never been more critical for industry to ensure that machines, networks and software are kept upto-date.

“In a world of ever-increasing competitiveness, gaining an advantage is based on utilising the latest software technology to ensure better and more dynamic processing of data to facilitate decision making and ensure the best success in operations at any time,” he said.

“Wise Cloud Solutions, together with the latest software versions, is the key to achieving better results and becoming a competitive success,” Jón Heiðar Pálsson said, explaining that WiseFish software not only handles the management of fishing and fishing methods, tracking catch composition and volumes, but the software can also monitor catch quota status and manage production processes. WiseFish can be connected to other systems such as Innova software from Marel. The system 14 | FEBRUARY 2020

also allows connections to peripheral equipment, such as scales and hand-held computers.

GAINING NEW INSIGHTS “It is vital that managers have a good overall view of all operations. WiseFish was recently updated, and that update coincides with the Microsoft update from NAV to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central,” he said.

“The new update includes the Microsoft Power BI analysis tool, easier access to Microsoft Outlook, easier reporting and software support for peripheral devices such as tablets. The WiseAnalyzer is essential with WiseFish. This allows businesses to easily analyse and interpret data from Microsoft Dynamics BC. New additions to WiseFish such as dynamic analyses in Power BI and WiseAnalyzer allow businesses to view their operations in a new light. A new function of WiseFish in warehouses, compatibility with peripherals and general additions to the new version of Microsoft Dynamics BC make it possible to thoroughly study the data for streamlining as well as gain a competitive edge,” he said.

“We all face having to examine our operating processes in light of available current technology. The majority of companies in Iceland’s fisheries sector are well on their way to completing the renewal of their fleets, infrastructure and software solutions.

Resting on one’s laurels, deciding that things have always been done in a certain way and that this has always worked does nothing for expansion potential, improved utilisation or improving product value.”

8 It is vital to properly manage all data and to make every effort to increase reliability and speed, says Wise’s VP Sales Jón Heiðar Pálsson

He added that the “this is how we’ve always done it” mentality can be dangerous – although there are undeniably companies that operate successfully on this basis and continue to return solid profits.

“It’s one thing to embark on the digital change of a company and quite another what methodology is used,” he said.

“One factor that is absolutely crucial is that all changes need to be defined, they must fulfil all the values of the company and be implemented with the agreement of the management and staff. An essential requirement for all changes is to know whether it is necessary to change and why,” he explained.

VALUABLE MARKET DATA Companies around the world have been increasingly seeking to do business with Wise and have adopted WiseFish for processing and fishing operations. According to Jón Heiðar Pálsson, these companies are first and foremost seeking traceability and analysable data to gain better overviews of catches, inventories and sales traceability.

“These companies come from South America, Australia and Europe, and as we increasingly use cloud solutions, this simplifies all installation and management. Our staff are based in Iceland when installing WiseFish overseas, and we service our client companies from our operating units in Reykjavík and Akureyri,’ he said “The year has been good to us, companies are increasingly updating to Business Central in order to be able to gain access to the undeniable advantage that it has with all its connections to Microsoft software, integration of e-mail systems, accounting systems and WiseFish. In addition, it provides even further

possibilities of tailoring processes to the system with the Flow solution from Microsoft.”

He added that with Flow, it is possible to tailor specialised solutions for each and every company into business processes.

A good example is adding the utilisation of inventories. In such case, one asks “the system” to send an e-mail with a reminder when inventory has reached the 60-day limitation period in the warehouse. This makes possible a two-pronged approach to monitoring inventories, preventing wastage and loss of product value. In addition, the system offers automatic report preparation for managers, who can programme the system to send them the information they require in the form of a report on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, all according to individual requirements.

“The vision of the future is to better utilise statistical approaches,” he said. “AI and connections between devices to make WiseFish even more dynamic and reliable. Business Central already offers statistical approach – the better the data, the more accurate the decisions.” He commented that at the recent Seafood Conference held in Iceland there was plenty of discussion focused on the reliability of data, and phrases such as rubbish in = rubbish out could be heard in the corridors.

“The reliability of data plays a key role in the progress of using AI and statistical approaches, as the software feeds on the information available and has no other data to work from,” he said.

“This brings us back to the importance of automation, that data is sent in digital format, from reliable systems and without much interference from external parties. As a result, it is vital to properly manage all data and to make every effort to increase reliability and speed to maintain the progress of the digital revolution in the fisheries industry,” Jón Heiðar Pálsson said.

PROCESSING & QUALITY

Responding to the F-Gas regulations, Spanish refrigeration company Tucal has launched a compact horizontal plate freezer with secondary refrigerant (Temper 55, Glycol, Tyfoxit).

The freezer was first introduced in 2018 and soon after that, the first units were sold to customers in Germany, France, Finland and Paraguay. According to Tucal, a year on, this model has proved to be a very efficient option, especially convenient in the case of small and medium projects, where natural refrigerants generally require a heavy investment.

One of those first customers is already planning to increase capacity based on the same configuration, and Tucal expects more sales in the coming future.

Since its foundation in 1989, Tucal has specialised in plate freezing and supplementary equipment, such as the refrigeration installation required for servicing the freezers, or freezing trays and ejectors.

Every unit is designed specifically according to customer requirements, always using materials of the highest quality for the production. The entire frame is made of stainless steel, and plates are made of highly anticorrosive aluminium, appropriate for marine use, as a high proportion of Tucal’s freezers are installed to operate in the unforgiving environment of fishing vessel factory decks.

Norwegian salmon farmer Flakstadvåg Laks, located in Senja, has selected Skaginn 3X to supply a Sub-Chilling system for use in its salmon production.

The patented Sub-Chilling technology cools the salmon down to -1.2°C, guaranteeing a longer shelf life and stronger, firmer fillets, due to minimising rigor. This process eliminates the requirement for ice, making it both an economically and environmentally sound choice when it comes to cooling the product.

In addition to the new Sub-Chilling system, Skaginn 3X has also been enlisted to update Flakstadvåg’s existing bleeding tank and install a manual gutting line and conveyors.

AQUACULTURE

HIGH HOPES FOR NEW RAINBOW TROUT VACCINE Significant steps are being taken in Scotland to develop a commercial vaccine for rainbow trout fry syndrome (RTFS), reports Bonnie Waycott RTFS is a systemic bacterial disease with a worldwide distribution, resulting in substantial economic losses in the rainbow trout industry, including the UK. Caused by the bacterium Flavobacterium psychrophilum, RTFS is widespread and occurs frequently at water temperatures between 10-14°C. It affects rainbow trout ranging in size from 0.2g - 100g, leaving necrotic lesions on the skin surrounding the dorsal fin and tail.

In very small fish no clinical signs are apparent and death occurs due to septicaemia. RTFS can lead to high mortalities in fry and larger fish in freshwater hatcheries and on-growing sites. An average early stage mortality of 10% in rainbow trout could be considered normal in many production sites.

Although disease outbreaks have been recorded in Europe since the late 80s, the lack of knowledge regarding the epidemiology of Flavobacterium psychrophilum has limited the development of disease management tools. Antibiotics are currently the only course of action to contain disease outbreaks. In the UK, RTFS is an important issue as rainbow trout are the second most produced finfish by harvest volume.

Now, a new RTFS vaccine is due to be tested during field trials to improve fish welfare in the rainbow trout industry and secure the necessary license for commercial use. Dawnfresh, one of the UK's largest rainbow trout producers, and the University of Stirling's Institute of Aquaculture (IoA), are leading the initiative, while Scottish trout farmer Kames Fish Farming and aquaculture research firm Tethys Aquaculture will also be working on the project with funding from the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC). The vaccine was developed as part of a five-year European project called 'TARGETFISH' that aimed to prevent important fish diseases in European aquaculture through a targeted vaccination strategy.

"The lack of an effective vaccine to prevent RTFS has hampered the expansion of the trout industry in Scotland and the UK for decades," said Professor Sandra Adams at the University of Stirling. "Such a vaccine is urgently required but progress has been slow due to the diversity of bacterial isolates on different farms and the fact that small fish (fry) need to be vaccinated, i.e. they are too small to be injected. However, through TARGETFISH, we have developed an effective immersion for small fish and our work is now proceeding to field trials in a new SAIC funded project."

in aquaculture," Professor Adams said. "They prevent disease so if they are successful, they will reduce the need for treatment with antibiotics. Another benefit of the new vaccine is that although it's been developed for use in the UK, the isolates included in the vaccine could be modified for use in other trout aquaculture regions of the world."

Fish vaccines have been difficult to develop. In a paper published earlier this year in the journal Fish and Shellfish Immunology, Adams explains that determining optimal vaccine administration methods is one of the challenges being faced.

Although some vaccines being developed offer protection, it's possible that vaccination strategies and current administration methods aren't appropriate for optimal efficacy. The diversity of fish species can also be an issue, she says, as different fish immune systems are not yet fully understood, and new reagents/ primers are required to elucidate host pathogen interactions.

LAB TESTING AND FIELD TRIALS The new vaccine is a dip vaccine, which can be administered to trout fry in a low stress and low risk manner. Rainbow trout fry will be dipped in the vaccine for 30 seconds and important data on vaccine efficacy will be gathered during the field trials. This information is required because repeat laboratory testing of the immersion vaccine has not been possible due to difficulties in performing a standardised experimental immersion challenge in vaccinated fish. The field trials are due to be performed on fish farms that have significant annual challenges from RTFS. They will be set up and monitored by the University of Stirling in conjunction with veterinarians on the farms.

"Vaccines are recognised as important tools for the prevention and control of fish diseases and are used routinely 18 | FEBRUARY 2020

AQUACULTURE

DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE VACCINES However, Sandra Adams says that the most crucial step in developing an effective vaccine is being able to identify 'potentially' protective antigens and confirming their protective response in the host species against the pathogen of interest. The approach taken depends on pathogen type, fish species, administration method, availability of reagents, and whether a challenge model has been developed to test the vaccine candidates.

"It's not easy to identify protective antigens," she explained. "It requires a variety of approaches, and the majority of commercial vaccines are killed whole cell pathogen preparations administered by intraperitoneal injection. This may not be the optimal route to deliver some vaccines, but a lack of effective adjuvants and basic knowledge on immune response has hindered progress in the development of mucosal vaccines. The cost of injecting fish may also be prohibitive in some countries."

Despite this, however, vaccination is an important disease management strategy. In aquaculture vaccines are used routinely, especially in species such as Atlantic salmon but in a more limited capacity or not at all in other fish species due to a lack of vaccines, poor performance or cost issues. Vaccination has been recognised as essential to reducing antibiotics use within the aquaculture industry in the UK and Norway, although overuse or inappropriate use has been reported in various fish species in other regions of the world.

Professor Adams says that when attempting to reduce antibiotics usage in aquaculture, it is important to continue developing fish vaccines for use in all aquaculture fish species where possible. The use of immunostimulants and probiotics should also be encouraged.

New approaches are becoming increasingly necessary in aquaculture's drive to minimise the use of antibiotics, reduce

Mowi’s global frame agreement with AKVA Group entails procurement of standard products, spare parts and service assignments. Although it does not imply any exclusivity to AKVA group, its negotiated terms provide a good basis for trade between the parties, according to AKVA’s Sales Director Nordic Hans-Øyvind Sagen.

“AKVA group is a large and important supplier to Mowi and has many of the products and services that we require to operate salmon farms. This agreement will strengthen our relationship and benefit both AKVA group and Mowi,” commented Mowi procurement manager Erik Kjær Mjøs.

“A close supplier is better equipped to understand what we need. We also believe that partners that have clear lines and are able to achieve a good dialogue, will cooperate well and achieve improvements and innovation for both parties.”

“We’re very pleased that Mowi, as the industry’s largest salmon breeder, has chosen to invest in us as one of its suppliers. The frame agreement will make the procurement of goods and services from AKVA group easier, more predictable and timesaving for both parties, and also give a good basis to further develop our cooperation within other areas like project-based activities,” said Hans-Øyvind Sagen, commenting that customers increasingly value the benefits of a formalised collaboration.

There are hopes that the RTFS vaccine, together with best farm management practices, will offer protection to fry, the stage most susceptible to infection from F. psychrophilum.

MPI SIGNS JETMASTER THRUSTER DEAL MPI has signed a $2m deal with the Newfoundland Kraken Power GmbH company for the provision of T160 rim-driven thrusters and control systems for use in MPI’s new JetMaster automated cage cleaner

8 The new JetMaster prototype was launched in 2019

A leading aquaculture industry provider of cage washing systems, Norwegian company MPI (Multi Pump Innovation) is ahead of the field in this sector with its highly successful RaceMaster model, and the introduction to the market of the efficient and technically advanced cage cleaning robot JetMaster in 2019 has been widely welcomed by the aquaculture industry.

MPI’s net cleaning systems have been delivered to 27 countries and the company estimates it has a roughly 70% market share with more than 750 systems delivered to date and in use on fish farms of all sizes.

MPI’s Chief Operating and Chief Commercial Officer Thore Standal explained that MPI selected Kraken for their winning price and performance.

“We are pleased to enter into this multi-year partnership with Kraken and, in addition to the RIM thrusters, we believe there is an opportunity to use Kraken’s underwater batteries and charging systems in additional developments for the aquaculture market. We have tested a wide variety of competitive thrusters and selected Kraken for their winning price and performance value proposition. We are pleased to enter into this multi-year partnership with Kraken. In addition to thrusters, we believe there is an opportunity to use Kraken’s underwater batteries and charging systems in additional developments for the aquaculture market,” Thore Standal said.

The JetMaster is fully driven by rim thrusters, is steerable in all directions and, with additional water jets, eliminating the need for belts to help it climb and adhere to the cage meshes as it goes about its cleaning work.

An issue that has in the past presented problems in this market is the difficulty in cleaning marine growth at the waterline (and above) of the cage – but the new JetMaster, due to the added jets, offers the ability to clean from the outside of the cage nets and wash lice skirts and other structures outside the pen itself.

20 | FEBRUARY 2020

Powerful but economical, the JetMaster’s rim-thrusters are extremely reliable and have a long durability, requiring a change of bearings only every 1000 hours. Each thruster provides 54kg of thrust but with total electricity requirement of only 17kW. “While best known for pressure tolerant batteries, Kraken Power’s rim driven thruster products have been sold to a variety of commercial, defence, and research customers over the last ten years,” said Kraken’s President and CEO Karl Kenny.

“Kraken is excited to partner with MPI, a world leader in net cleaning robots. This is another example of Kraken developing innovative new technology and growing it into new markets and geographies. Besides MPI, Kraken is also engaged with a number of other aquaculture stakeholders, including industry and government agencies, via our OceanVision Ocean Supercluster project. We see significant opportunities for our thruster and battery technology and our AquaPix sonar sensors, SeaVision laser scanners, and SmartCam products within the global aquaculture industry.”

The Tersan Shipyard in Turkey has delivered a pair new longliners to Norwegian fishing company Ervik Havfiske

CONTINUING CO-OPERATION The combination of Marin Teknikk design and Tersan construction is being continued with an order placed by an international company for a 60.50 metre LOA, 13 metre beam longliner to be built at the yard in Turkey to an MT1112 L design.

Intended to fish for Patagonian toothfish in the Southern Ocean, this longliner is scheduled for delivery in September 2021, equipped with a high-capacity modern autoline system and a factory deck with the focus on gentle handling and delivering high quality production. The factory deck will also be equipped to handle all production waste. The longliner’s logistic arrangements are for catches to be discharged on pallets.

22 | FEBRUARY 2020

According to Marin Teknikk’s Richard Gjerde, there has also been a strong focus during the design process on achieving the best possible hull design and systems for an environmentally friendly ship.

“We are very pleased that a solid foreign international fishing company has chosen MT design in a competitively demanding market,” he said, adding that a number of Norwegian suppliers will benefit from the contract as equipment suppliers to the vessel.

“The contracts demonstrate that Marin Teknikk is strengthening its position in this demanding and exciting market in the design of fishing vessels. Marin Teknikk has designed several longliners for Norwegian and foreign shipping companies over the years, and with this prestige contract we confirm our position in this exciting market for the design of fishing vessels,” he said.

This is not the first time that Marin Teknikk has designed longline vessels for the demanding Southern Ocean, having already designed several such vessels, including some for Ervik Havfiske that operate on Patagonian toothfish.

8 The 60.50 metre longliner for fishing in the Southern Ocean is scheduled to be delivered in September 2021

The Måløy-registered Frøyanes Junior and Vestkapp are built to Marin Teknikk designs and are the fourth and fifth newbuilds delivered by the yard to Ervik Havfiske.

Intended to operate in the North Atlantic, the two 50 metre longliners have a 12.50 metre beam and are designed to freeze H&G catches at sea. A further longliner for Ervik Havfiske is scheduled to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2021.

“We are pleased and honoured to deliver two more vessels to the Ervik family. This series of vessels is the evidence of our long-term, successful relationship with Ervik Havfiske,” stated Tersan Shipyard’s director of sales and marketing Sakir Erdogan.

He commented that Ervik Havfiske operates the first sophisticated longliner delivered by the yard ready to fish back in 2011, adding that this enabled the yard to enter this market sector.

Frøyanes Junior and Vestkapp have 1370kW Yanmar main engines, Brunvoll propellers and side thrusters, and steering gear is from Rolls-Royce.

Mustad Autoline supplied the complete fishing systems for both longliners, with packages that include MA HH-3200 line haulers, MASP-2000-03 hook separators, MAMP-600 hydraulic Magpackers and MASB 6000 superbaiters.

Geraldton-based David Perham is the latest operator from Australia’s Western Rock Lobster fishery to order a new lobster boat from Dongara Marine.

The 22.4 metre Southerly Designs monohull will, like the yard’s other recent fishing and pilot boat newbuilds, combine an aluminium hull and composite superstructure. The new boat will replace David Perham’s current vessel, the 58 foot Natural Selection, which was built in 1994.

Dongara Marine has overall project responsibility for the vessel and is currently in the process of fitting out the hull, which recently arrived in Port Denison after being fabricated in Geraldton by Xtreme Marine. This includes all the main machinery as well as the many mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems that go in to a modern Australian high speed lobster boat.

David Perham’s current boat has been Scania-powered since new, including two re-powers, and the new boat keeps that relationship alive. Twin Scania DI16 072M, each rated to 662kW, will drive fixed pitch props via ZF gearboxes. This is expected to give a maximum speed of around 23 knots and 17 knots cruise.

Based in Port Denison, Western Australia, Dongara Marine has already completed manufacture of the resin-infused composite

wheelhouse structure, which is also now in the fitout stage.

Once the wheelhouse and hull fitout stages are complete the superstructure will be lifted onto the hull just prior to the new boat’s launch, which is scheduled for April 2020.

DAMEN MAASKANT TO BUILD NEW BELGIAN BEAMER Belgian family fishing company Rederij Long Ships has contracted Damen Maaskant Shipyards Stellendam to build a 38-metre beam trawler to a new Maaskant BT3808 design Damen Maaskant has designed the new vessel, Franson Z-91, to comply with the maximum length and gross tonnage permitted by the Belgian Maritime Inspectorate. The yard’s research carried out with propeller developers and manufacturers SIP Marine aims to reduce fuel consumption in relation to current hull forms in use in the Belgian fleet. This study has resulted in a 12% increase in bollard pull.

“A good time to invest,” said Rederij Long Ships owner Eddie Cattoor.

The contract signing was very much a family affair, with Eddie Cattoor, his wife, daughter and son-in-law all present, reflecting their commitment to a long-lasting family company, and he commented that there is a combination of factors behind the decision to invest in a new beamer.

“We had been looking forward to a new vessel for some time – and now the time is ripe. Fish prices and quotas are satisfactory, the fuel price is reasonable and our current vessel is ready for replacement. In short, a good time to invest. We have complete confidence in Maaskant and expect them to build a perfect vessel for us,” he said.

We had been looking forward to a new vessel for some time – and now the time is ripe The company goes back to 1934 when Rederij Long Ships was set up by Eddie Cattoor’s grandfather. It has been a familyowned operation ever since, and has been running beam trawlers for several decades.

The new Franson Z-90 will replace Rederij Long Ships’ current beam trawler, Francine Z-90.

Rederij Long Ships intends to continue its current operational

pattern, fishing year-round in the North Sea and Skagerak, in addition to the summer season in the Bay of Biscay.

“We are honoured with the trust placed in us by the Cattoor family. With this new vessel, their company and its successors are ready for the future,” said Damen Maaskant Shipyards Stellendam commercial manager Jeroen van den Berg, adding that this is the first newbuild contract between Rederij Long Ships and Damen Maaskant.

Cleopatra 50B for Norwegian fishing company The latest delivery from Icelandic boatbuilder Trefjar is a 15 metre shelterdecked autoliner for owners in Myre in Norway.

Einar has been built for Icelandic fisherman Ólafur Einarsson, who relocated to Norway some years ago. The new vessel was delivered by the yard in Hafnarfjörður and steamed across to Myre by its owner, who also operates a second Cleopatra 50B, which was acquired second-hand.

The new longliner has a Mustad autoline system, with the hauler located in a separate compartment, and the baiting machine, racks and other equipment inside the shelterdeck.

Deck equipment for handling catches is from Lavango and Stálorka, and the ice machine and pre-chiller system are supplied by Kæling.

Einar is laid out with an engine room aft, with an 800hp Doosan 4V222TI main engine driving a ZF665 V-gear. In addition, there is a

The fishroom with capacity for 76 x 460 litre tubs is amidships and the accommodation is located the forward section, with bunks for a crew of up to six in four cabins. Einar has a fully equipped galley and mess areas, as well as a toilet, shower and facilities for washing and drying clothes, all of which makes Einar suitable for working longer trips if required.

The wheelhouse electronics have been supplied and fitted by Larsen Elecom, including a link between the autopilot and the stern and aft thrusters, which start up automatically to keep the boat on course when hauling the line at slow speeds.

Nordlaks founder Inge Berg sent the company’s new live fish carrier Bjørg Pauline down the slipway and into the water at the Tersan Shipyard.

“The new well-boats are important for Nordlaks and for the production method that we set up in the ocean farms. These will be two fantastic vessels with forward-looking technology and have the necessary capacity that Nordlaks needs for safe and efficient operation. Today is an important milestone, and now we look forward to having the vessel delivered this summer,” he said Bjørg Pauline is designed by NSK Ship Design.

This new wellboat will be the very first with LNG/battery hybrid propulsion. Together with shore power connectivity, this technology will reduce CO2 emissions by more than 30% and NOx emissions by 90%, compared to current wellboats.

It is designed to carry more than 600 tonnes of live fish and will mainly transport live salmon and rainbow trout between the company’s land-based hatchery, to fish farm locations at sea and on to the slaughterhouse at Børøya.

Both of the new wellboats are being equipped with Dynamic Positioning (DP) and are

adapted to operate at exposed locations and to serve Nordlaks’ upcoming ocean farm.

With the launch of the first of this pair of new vessels, Nordlaks also marks the beginning of the end for diesel fuelled wellboats.

“By choosing LNG, batteries and shore power connection over ordinary fuel, Nordlaks saves both the environment and fuel costs,” said NSK Ship Design’s marketing manager Thomas Myhre.

“LNG is more energy dense and because of

Nordlaks is the foremost in the industry to adopt new technology.”

Bjørg Pauline will be delivered to Nordlaks in the summer of 2020, while its sister vessel is scheduled to be delivered by Tersan in 2021.
