Sustainable fishing has helped the EU fishing fleet remain profitable in 2020 despite the challenges of the global Covid-19 pandemic, according to a European Union report.

The 2020 Annual Economic Report on the EU Fishing Fleet states that more sustainable fishing and lower fuel costs helped to mitigate the socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic.

European Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans and Fisheries Virginijus Sinkevičius said that the report showed that “sustainability pays off”.

“During times of crisis, our fishing fleets must stay on the path of sustainability. It builds resilience and accelerates economic recovery,” he said.

The report shows that the industry made a net profit of €800 million in 2018 with the trend continuing into 2019.

However, the Covid-19 outbreak has interrupted the positive trends seen in recent years and projections show decreases of 17% in landed value, 19% in employment and 29% in net profits compared to 2019.

Despite this, indications suggest that the fleet will still end 2020 with a reasonable level of profitability.

The report also shows that the economic performance and earnings of EU fishermen and women are improving where stocks are managed sustainably.

ORDER FOR ULTRA-GREEN PELAGIC VESSEL An order has been placed with the Cemre Shipyard in Turkey to build what is slated to become the most environmentally-friendly pelagic vessel to date, designed by Norwegian naval architect Skipsteknisk.

The new 79.50 metre by 16.20 metre breadth Selvåg Senior will be built to a Skipsteknisk ST-136 LNG design, and this isn’t the first time that Skipsteknisk and Selvåg Senior AS have worked together – but this time there are very clear differences between the projected new vessel and its predecessor.

Selvåg Senior’s innovative design and technology and expected to result in a reduction in emissions on a scale new to the fishing industry, by an estimated 42% compared to a similar new vessel using conventional technology.

Don’t expect a return to anything like the old normality. This is the new normal.

The worst of both worlds

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

After the bizarre spectacle of two entities with a fully functioning free trade agreement spending more than four years discussing what trade barriers to erect, the UK government appears to have succeeded in engineering a comprehensively lose-lose outcome for its fishing industry.

In establishing red lines at the outset of negotiations there was a clear determination by a government obsessed with immigration to end free movement, maybe failing to appreciate that also ending the free movement of goods would inevitably be economically damaging – if not disastrous.

The nonsensical decision to leave the Customs Union and the Single Market as well as the EU ensures that trade with the UK’s main trading partners on the other side of the Channel is anything but seamless and trouble-free. As with any new system, there are always teething troubles as everyone gets used to the quirks and foibles, figures out short-cuts and establishes a workable routine. But don’t expect a return to anything like the old normality. This is the new normal.

Being a member of the EU club entails a trade-off in sacrificing a level of sovereignty for a level of economic prosperity. British voters decided by a wafer-thin margin they wanted to reclaim that perception of sovereignty, but were also assured by politicians, pundits, sections of the media, lobby groups and, in the fishing industry’s case, senior industry figures, that economically things would be just fine, that trade would be remain seamless and there would be new golden opportunities, otherwise referred to as sunlit uplands.

Those assurances were clearly at best misplaced. At worst, these were outright lies and cynical deception.

There are some serious questions that could be asked by the industry of both political and industry leaders who so enthusiastically championed leaving the EU, but who apparently failed to appreciate that the value of investments can go down as well as up.

What will undoubtedly endure is the bitter resentment and frustration on both sides of the debate, not least as the outlook is that virtually nobody appears to have come out of this well. Having been accused to my face of being a traitor for simply questioning (which is my job…) the validity of some of the pre-Brexit claims, I’m not expecting any of this to cool down any time soon.

Britain has had almost fifty years of membership and Eurosceptics banging on about the evils of the EU. Now the boot may be on the other foot, but this argument is probably still going to be raging in another fifty years.

Brixham is home to the largest and most progressive auction in England, where the catch quality and the recently installed Kosmos clock system have attracted a growing number of European buyers – and shipping seafood to Europe is crucial.

After some very uncomfortable weeks, the situation has begun to settle, according to Barry Young, managing director of Brixham Trawler Agents, which runs the port’s auction.

But the reality is that prices at Brixham are down by 50%.

“Sole is selling for £8.50-9.00, and we had six tonnes of sole this morning,” he said.

“For BTA, costs are up dramatically. Paperwork is a massive challenge, and it has been very tough at the beginning of the year. We still have our European buyers – and not just one or two of them – and we have had to work through this to survive and support the industry.”

He said that BTA had been prepared ahead of the Christmas Eve trade deal announcement, with two systems ready run on its online auction – one for a the nightmare scenario of a No Deal outcome and the other prepared for operating under a trade agreement.

“We had already been testing

these for six months,” he said, but added that while delays had been expected and this was all a step into the unknown, the last few weeks have been tough.

BTA works with Samways, an long-established and experience transport operator, to truck fish to European markets, and great pains had been taken to ensure that paperwork is in order, including updating the sales interface so that customers have access to catch certificates and other documentation.

“The breakdown at the beginning of the year was at the borders with problems with the new system in operation in Boulogne, and traffic re-routed to Dunkerque, which isn’t set up to deal with this,” he said.

“Now we are seeing holdups of

six to eighteen hours if there’s a problem with paperwork. We’re asking the beamers that land to us to work shorter trips, so that if there are delays, then there’s a few days’ more shelf life in the fish when it’s landed.”

He commented that right now they are concentrating on maintaining activity in the face of what he called a perfect storm of coping with both the effects of Brexit at the same time as a global pandemic.

“There’s a lot of disappointment, although fishermen are resilient and we’ll come through this. But there’s a cost to the industry, and that cost comes out of the codend,” he said.

FIRST 6-12 MILE ZONE LICENCES ISSUED It was only at the end of January that the European Commission confirmed that the first 59 licences for French fishing vessels to operate in the UK 6-12-mile zone were ready to be allocated.

The confirmation came via the French Department of Maritime Fisheries and Aquaculture to the Hauts-de-France Fisheries Committee during the last week in January, with licences valid from 2300 on the 29th January.

The agreement to allow fishing by non-UK vessels within the UK’s 6-12 mile zone has been a highly controversial one and seen as a major climbdown by UK negotiators, so from 1st January the only condition imposed on French fishermen to operate in the 6-12 mile zone is to be able to produce a valid licence. The issue of licences is conditional on vessels being able to demonstrate a track record of fishing in the area.

“It’s a huge relief. However, not all licences have been issued.

This is the first batch and about sixty licences have yet to be

allocated,” said Olivier Lepretre, President of the Hauts-de-France Regional Fisheries Committee, who has a long background of

standing up for the interests of the region’s fishing community.

“The pressure is still enormous on the French side, where all the fleet – netters, trawlers, seine trawlers - has had to work in the same area since 1st January and where fishing pressure has not diminished. We were particularly worried about the fishery resource and its protection in the Straits of Dover. Access to the 6–12-mile area will once again allow fishermen to fish sustainably and responsibly,” he said.

“I would also like to stress out that while French fishermen need be able to access British waters as quickly as possible, it is also essential to guarantee the British access to the European market and to facilitate trade.

The sooner the better.”

CREATING CONDITIONS FOR DOMESTIC FLEET RENEWAL The Russian government plans to create conditions for the renewal of the domestic fishing fleet in the coming years with a further increase in domestic catches, according to recent statements by representatives of senior state officials, reports Eugene Gerden.

Russia’s catches have significantly increased to exceed 5 million tonnes while government plans are to pave the way for still further growth, although implementation of these plans will primarily depend on the presence of a large-scale fishing fleet.

Despite efforts in recent years, the Russian industry still has a shortage modern tonnage, as confirmed in statistics presented

by Vladimir Kashin, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Agrarian Issues, showing a 25% fleet decline 2000-2018.

According to his findings, at present the Russian fishing fleet consists of only 1500 vessels (compared to 7000 during the Soviet era), the bulk of which (71%) is concentrated in the Far Eastern region. Crucially, only 1% of existing tonnage has been built within the last five years, while the rest is over 25 years old.

Data from the Russian Federal Agency for Fisheries, responsible for the development of the seafood sector in Russia, suggests that the average age of Russian fishing vessels now exceeds 30 years, while some vessels have forty years of operation behind them. This is seen as contributing to an increase in the industry’s accident rate.

According to the Agency’s figures, between the end of the Soviet era and 2019, there were virtually no large-scale investments in new large trawlers in Russia, while most fishing companies preferred to purchase used vessels in abroad.

According to Eduard Klimov, Chairman of Fishnews, one of Russia’s leading fisheries analysis agencies, so far, even with payments of customs duties, it

has turned out cheaper to build abroad and import new capacity than to build at domestic yards.

This could change, as numerous orders have recently been placed with domestic shipbuilders for large vessels.

One such company working on renewing its fleet is Far East operator Russian Fishery Company, currently building eleven 108 metre factory vessels as part of its RUB100 billion ($1.35 billion) investment programme.

The first of these, lead vessel Vladimir Limanov built at Tersan in Turkey, has recently been delivered, while the remaining ten sister vessels are being built at the Admiralty Shipyard in St Petersburg.

RFC chairman Gleb Frank commented that such a construction programme has only become possible due to the government’s investment quotas initiative, which requires new vessels benefitting from the scheme to be built at Russian yards.

Vladimir Limanov and its sister vessels are each built to handle 60,000 tonnes of raw material annually, with 100% of catches utilised in producing fillets, mince, a variety of by-products, fishmeal and fish oil, and surimi.

8 Vladimir Limanov is the first in a series of new trawlers being built for the Russian Fishery Company

“We will significantly increase production of fillets frozen at sea and we will be the first in Russia to start producing high quality pollock surimi,” he said.

“I am confident that this product will be in demand on many markets, including Japan, the USA, Europe, China, southeast Asia and, of course, Russia.”

The new RFC fishing vessels are designed to be environmentally friendly and provide the most economical levels of energy efficiency, reducing CO2 emissions per tonne of catch by 50% compared the company’s older vessels, the first of which has already been decommissioned.

Orders for more than 90 fishing vessels are estimated to have been placed with Russian shipyards. The majority of these will be commissioned by 2025, while the overall investments in their construction are believed to be in the region of 200 billion rubles. But according to local analysts, even this construction effort will ensure the renewal of only around 40% of the Russian fishing fleet.

SELVÅG SENIOR OPTS FOR LNG AND BATTERY POWER 8 Contracts have been signed for the new Selvåg Senior to be built at the Cemre Shipyard in Turkey

Illustr: Skipsteknisk

The new design has evolved during an extended development period, and incorporates capacity for LNG storage, which will be Selvåg Senior’s primary energy source.

A vertical gas tank with a volume of as much as 350m3 will occupy much of the forward section – an area that often presents design challenges in fully utilising available space.

In this instance, it’s an excellent use of the space, and the vertical arrangement affects overall dimensions less than if a conventional horizontal tank had been chosen.

Liquefied natural gas needs to be stored at a temperature of approximately -160°C, and heated to ambient temperature before becomes a gas for use by the main engine. A management system utilises excess heat energy from this process to power the RSW system, while excess exhaust heat is recovered and converted to electrical power, making Selvåg Senior the

first fishing vessel in the world to be fitted with this type of technology which ensures minimal energy wastage.

The LNG installation is partnered by a 1mW/hour battery bank, replacing many of the usual functions of diesel

gensets, while also flattening the main engine’s energy requirement, plus providing power while alongside. Selvåg Senior is also designed to accept power from a climate neutral shore supply when in port to charge the battery bank.

The ship’s electrical platform is based on a DC-grid arrangement that provides full flexibility in utilising the main engine over its entire speed range. It can most easily be described as an automatic and more efficient handling of the ship’s changing operating pattern and this will also have major impacts on propeller optimisation.

The new Selvåg Senior will be outfitted for purse seining and pelagic trawling, with options to pump at the stern and over the side.

All the pumps and winch systems will be electric, with capacity to re-route energy to the battery bank.

The future of fishing

NEW AND UNCERTAIN HORIZONS With the Brexit agreement now in place, the seafood industry finds itself in uncharted waters, writes Jason Holland While the post-Brexit EU-UK trade deal agreement announced on Christmas Eve by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson brought some initial welcome relief to panicked seafood exporters and importers on both sides of the Channel, many UK seafood producer-exporters have since found that the new border protocols are much more convoluted than they had hoped for, a situation exacerbated by the very small window given for everyone to prepare for their introduction.

The Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), which entered into force on 1st January, had already received a very frosty reception from Britain’s fishing communities, with many across the sector feeling extremely short-changed by the new arrangements, not least the fact that despite government promises to the contrary, EU vessels can to continue to fish in the country’s waters.

Specifically, what’s angered the UK fishing industry is that the agreement includes a five-and-a-half-year transition period whereby each party will grant full access to vessels of the other party to fish specified TACs and non-quota stocks in the respective exclusive economic zones (EEZs, 12-200 nautical miles); in a specified part of the waters of the parties between six and 12 nautical miles; and to the Crown Dependencies of the UK. On the plus-side, under the TCA, there are zero tariffs on goods traded between the EU and the UK, which means that access to lucrative EU markets – a priority for many British seafood businesses – can be maintained, albeit with new Export Health Certificates, Catch Certificates and other labelling requirements.

BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT While fishing contributes a modest 0.1% of Britain’s gross domestic product (GDP), fishing quotas and access to waters were a contentious area throughout the trade deal negotiation process. UK fishermen had been hoping for an exclusive 12-mile limit for the inshore sector, as well as fishing opportunities based on zonal attachment and control over fishery regulations. As such, the deal that they ultimately found themselves with has been regarded as a poor one, while catchers across the water are understandably much more relieved.

In a statement issued by the Cornish Fish Producers’ Organisation (CFPO), the body’s CEO Paul Trebilcock, summed up the betrayal felt by the region’s fishermen, saying: “We’ve had our expectations continually raised by the prime minister, and MPs, for years now. Promises of full and absolute control of our waters and better fishing opportunities have been made time and time again only to be shattered at the final moment. For government to say this is a good deal is hugely disappointing, it is certainly not the deal we were led to believe we would receive, and it has left Cornish fishermen feeling angry and insulted.”

Paul Trebilcock’s comments refer to statements made by Johnson following the signing of the TCA that through the deal, the UK’s share of fish in its waters would rise substantially from roughly half today to closer to two-thirds in 2026, after which there would be no theoretical limit beyond those

placed by science or conservation on the amount of fish that UK fishers could land in their own waters. The PM also announced a new £100 million investment programme to help fishing communities modernise their fleets and the fish processing sector.

Scottish government also voiced its scepticism, saying that while there should be some modest increases in Scotland’s pelagic landings and some other stocks, the deal will lead to a reduction in the volume of key fishing stocks landed by the nation’s fleet, including cod, haddock, whiting and saithe.

Because the terms of the Brexit deal stipulate that the swapping of quotas with individual member states is no longer allowed and leasing will be prohibitively expensive, it reckons that it will see the fleet’s access to these fisheries reduced to levels below those under the EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) arrangements – even at the end of the five-and-half-year phase-in period – and that this will have potential knock-on effects for harbours, fish markets and processors across Scotland.

8 UK seafood businesses have reported losses of hundreds of thousands of pounds as shipments have been delayed in transit

STUCK IN TRANSIT With around three-quarters of the UK’s seafood exports going to the EU, it was widely agreed that having a trade deal was crucial for the future of the sector, but despite the government’s assertion that businesses can now start to do things differently and better, many of those companies dependent on this commerce have encountered severe disruptions at distribution hubs and borders this year.

As an industry that continues to struggle with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, not least massive end-market shifts, hampered productivity in processing plants thanks to the social distancing rules, as well as the general landscape of a third British lockdown, the delays present another major cause for concern for seafood stakeholders. As such, the UK government is being urged to address the obstacles brought by the Brexit red tape and to provide adequate compensation for those

affected. So far, these problems have largely stemmed from confusion over paperwork, the extra documentation now needed to move goods, and IT issues at borders.

At the time of writing, some seafood businesses had already reported sales losses amounting to hundreds of thousands of pounds, with fears that things that could get much worse in the coming weeks. Concurrently, many fishing vessels have remained tied up in harbour, while others have been steaming directly to European ports to land their fish, by-passing some elements of the post-Brexit bureaucracy.

Frustratingly, seafood bodies had given the government fair warning that such issues would likely ensue and had unsuccessfully appealed for a gradual implementation or bedding-in period of any new rules.

“Had a deal been concluded even a couple of months ago, that would have given our producers and hauliers the time to test out the new systems, trial the paperwork and get everything in place,” the Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation’s Chief Executive, Tavish Scott, said, adding that lorry loads of salmon were stuck in Scotland in the first weeks of January.

“Our members are resourceful and have been trying everything they can to get fish to customers in Europe, including new routes, but every delay forces the price of our product down and hands the initiative to our international competitors.”

Seafood Scotland’s Chief Executive, Donna Fordyce, reinforced the point that despite producers’ efforts to work through all the extra red tape, it has proved an almost impossible task, given the lack of preparation time.

8 Despite producers’ efforts to work through all the extra red tape, this has proved an almost impossible task, given the lack of time to prepare, according to Seafood Scotland chief executive Donna Fordyce

“The UK government has to realise the enormous difficulties that have been placed in the way of exporters simply because there wasn’t a workable system in place by the end of Brexit transition, despite numerous warnings that there would be issues,” she said.

While the finger-pointing is certain to continue in the weeks and months ahead, what the industry really needs now is the platform to look ahead and the means to expedite seafood produce to continental Europe. It has identified that this necessitates the prompt delivery of workable solutions to overcome these so-called Brexit teething problems, as well as an aligned package of support to mitigate the current difficulties encountered in crossing borders. It’s also clear to many that anything less from UK government might ultimately prove catastrophic for a lot of the sector’s stakeholders.

ANALYSIS

ASSESSING THE BREXIT FALLOUT For much of the UK’s fishing industry and for seafood buyers in Europe, the final act of Britain’s departure from the European Union has been a rough landing As the transition period ended with 2020, the UK became subject to the same rules and requirements as any other third country trading with the European Union. As Britain’s fishing industry had during the referendum campaign been Brexit’s poster child, used to highlight every wrong that could be put right, as January dawned it immediately became the focus of exactly how new and different the relationship with Europe is.

The media were flooded with tales of stranded cargoes of fish, outraged exporters struggling to deal with new paperwork, substantial losses and long-established traders facing ruin. This is a situation that affects business as a whole, not just the seafood industry. But the highly perishable nature of seafood and the reliance on prompt delivery mean that fishing inevitably became an early victim of Brexit.

British boats have been tied up as market access has dried up, and in Europe there are also fishing vessels that have spent the whole of this year so far at the quayside as their fishing opportunities still have yet to be clarified.

Aside from the jaw-dropping moments as Britain’s Minister for Fisheries admitted to having been too busy with Christmas preparations to read the trade deal on the day it was concluded, and a senior Parliamentary figure made the risible claim that fish in UK waters had become “better and happier now they are British,” the UK government is seen as having thrown its fishermen under a bus, while presenting the trade agreement with the EU as a serious triumph of international diplomacy by securing tariff-free trade. But the devil is in the detail, in particular in the fine detail and complexity of the extensive bureaucracy that is part and parcel of this new third country status, and it has been a hard realisation.

Few industries will come out of this unscathed – especially an industry as highly international as fishing and seafood – and others clearly won’t survive.

The disappointment within the UK fishing industry and the feeling that fishing has been sacrificed is very visible. The gains achieved in quota shares are nowhere near what the UK industry had hoped to see, and in Europe there is similar frustration as many European fishermen also feel that they have been sacrificed to achieve a wider trade deal.

For the UK it’s not easy to see who gains much. Quota lifts are chiefly in pelagic species that will flow to one of the fishing industry’s more prosperous sectors. Gains that have been achieved, which come with considerable downsides, won’t make their way to the sectors of UK fishing that have traditionally been short of opportunities and rely overwhelmingly on nonquota species to survive.

The gains have will go to those who are already millionaires, while the sectors that so emphatically supported Brexit and campaigned hard for it are likely to find themselves no better off, while their markets have become more distant and harder to supply.

“It’s disappointing, as Brexit had been touted as bringing so many gains for the fishing industry,” he said.

“But we’re still hunting for those gains. We’re hoping that in the long term there will be gains, but in the short term there’s a lot of disruption.”

He added that a real concern is the loss of the quota trade that was possible under the CFP, under which POs in member states could arrange swaps.

“That has been a flexible way of matching quotas to when and where they are needed, and this was maybe one of the redeeming features of the CFP. Now it seems that this will be at government level, with member states taking this to the EU Commission. It looks like this could be through a specialist committee that could only meet a couple of times a year, so

ANALYSIS this would not be reactive or flexible. So this seems to be a retrograde step,” he said.

“There’s a loss of clarity and we have an uncertain picture ahead of us. We’re optimistic. But right now we are facing a lot of difficulties.”

SPANISH CONCERNS Spanish industry organisation Cepesca has predicted that the Spanish fleet is set to lose more than €54 million in revenue over the coming five years, following the agreement reached between the EU and the UK. According to Cepesca’s analysis, this figure could turn out to be on the low side if the currently provisional TACs for some species are revised downwards during further negotiations.

Cepesca’s estimate is that the impact by the end of the transitional period of five and a half years will be about €54.3 million euros, with a loss of 4318 tonnes of main target species.

“Although at the beginning we welcomed the agreement with some relief, taking as a reference the reduction percentages based on the relative stability of catches that were provided by the Government, as we translate that political nomenclature To real day-to-day figures, we note a serious short-term damage, to which is added the uncertainty that will come from 2026,” said Cepesca’s general secretary Javier Garat.

“The impact of the loss of more than €54.3 million euros is substantial for the owners, crew and their families, shore workers and for the indirect jobs that are generated by the 88 vessels on the NEAFC roster and the four that fish for cod in Svalbard, and are based in Galicia, Cantabria and the Basque Country.”

LOOKING TO THE LONGER TERM What the longer-term picture will look like when the 2026 transition is here remains a cause for concern for both European and UK fishing sectors.

There are those who are optimistic about future negotiations from 2026 onwards, according to NFFO chief executive Barrie Deas.

“And there are pessimists, such as myself, who feel that due to trade pressures there won’t be any straying too far from the present situation. The UK could find itself caught up in a perpetual groundhog day, caught up in an asymmetric power relationship that subverts the UK’s rights under law,” he said, commenting that the UK government capitulated on fishing in striking the trade agreement with the EU, and there is no guarantee this won’t be a regular occurrence in future.

“From the end of the five-and-a-half year transitional period, the European Commission, on behalf of the Member States, will have to negotiate each year with the United Kingdom, for access to both waters and quotas. And from that point nt on, both parties will have to negotiate TACs of the 119 shared ed stocks,” Cepesca general secretary Javier Garat pointed nted out, commenting that in addition to concerns over joint management nagement of stocks to ensure sustainability, the outlook generates enormous uncertainty for companies in the fishing sector. ector.

“They do not know what quotas they will be able e to count on from 2026 or if all vessels will have access to UK waters.

Likewise, the impact it will have on the Common Fisheries Policy is unknown, as well as on quota exchanges between the different countries that fish in UK waters, as from next year, they will have fewer fishing opportunities forr possible exchanges,” he said.

‘National governments of the EU and the European Commission needs to rise to the occasion and defend efend the European fishing industry. This is the only way to build ld trust in institutions and avoid increasing Euroscepticsm within the fishing sector.”

FIVE YEARS Five years is a long time – and much can change in a few years, not least with the movement for Scottish independence gathering strength and implications for the future of the United Kingdom.

There’s a prospect that Scotland could become an independent state, one which would more than likely be given an easy ride if it were to apply for EU membership, with some far-reaching implications for UK fisheries.

It’s debatable how economically sustainable the UK’s position is as the only nation in western Europe outside the European Economic Area – and having experienced being out in the cold as a third country dealing with its main trade partner, there’s likely to be plenty of pressure on the UK government to align more closely to the EU, rather than further divergence.

TRAWL GEAR

TRAWL DOORS FROM RECYCLED PLASTIC Trawl door producer Polar Fishing Gear is taking a step to one side from the conventional steel doors to produce both demersal and pelagic trawl doors using recycled plastic The designs are ready and the first production models of the Pluto doors – maintaining the tradition of using names from mythology – are expected to be ready soon.

“The first doors are going to a Westman Islands boat called Andvari VE-100, which is just 12 metres and one of the smallest boats in Iceland to work with groundfish trawl gear.

Skipper Hafthór Halldórsson is using a pair of old-style Vee doors and is getting a 0.8 square metre pair of our Neptune doors soon, before he gets the first pair of plastic Pluto trawl doors. So we will have some real opportunities to make comparisons,’ said Atli Már Jósafatsson at Polar Fishing Gear.

He commented that the Pluto doors are made entirely from plastic, which offers plenty of design possibilities that are not options when working with all-steel doors. The Pluto doors are made with steel fittings and attachment points, but no internal steel frame is needed. This pattern of construction is practical up to door sizes of around 2 square metres.

‘‘

Fishing vessels there are required by law to bring all waste fishing gear ashore for disposal “That means the fleet up to around 20 metres can use these doors, and there are thousands of small trawlers around the world in that size bracket. We are already seeing interest from the UK and Spain in particular – and Seafish is very enthusiastic about what can be achieved with these doors.”

He added that Polar Fishing Gear has built up a strong position in Catalonia, where the fleet has enthusiastically adopted the company’s Jupiter pelagic doors, and there’s also strong interest in Pluto doors.

“Now the interest there is entirely for pelagic doors. They have seen that trawl gear can be spread effectively without the doors needing to touch the bottom, and they only want pelagic doors,” he said.

“Fishing vessels there are required by law to bring all waste fishing gear ashore for disposal. We are already involved in a circular economy project in Catalonia, and expect to produce these doors in Spain as well as in Iceland, and at other locations.”

MEDITERRANEAN MARKET Atli Már Jósafatsson commented that the market for Polar’s doors in the Mediterranean region has been growing steadily, with strong demand from Spain, Italy and Greece.

“In Spain it’s the pelagic doors. But in Italy and Greece skippers are looking for semi-pelagic Hercules and Mercury trawl doors,” he said.

“We recently supplied a trawler in Viareggio with a 1.70 square metre pair of Hercules doors, which not only spread more efficiently than the locally made 2.40 square metre doors they had been using, but contributed to reducing their fuel bill by around 20% – a saving of close to €2000 each month.”

DUTCH TRAWLERS OPT FOR FAROESE PELAGIC GEAR

Photo: Vónin

Vónin’s 2300m pelagic trawl has been around for a while and has already proved what it can do for the Faroese, Icelandic, Norwegian, Russian and UK fishing vessels that have been using this gear

Now Dutch pelagic catchers have also been calling in Fuglafjørður to pick up these versatile trawls. P&P’s Annelies Ilena was the first to take a 2300 trawl, back in 2018, and it has served them well on blue whiting, as well as being versatile enough to also fish herring. This year, three more Dutch pelagic vessels have been supplied with these trawls, with Maartje Theodora calling in the spring to collect its gear, followed by Margiris, and finally Willem van der Zwan.

“This trawl has fished outstandingly well for our customers around the North-East Atlantic who have been using this gear for some years. It fishes especially well on blue whiting, and this trawl accounts for the largest share of blue whiting landings,” said Vónin’s Frederik Hansen.

The trawl was originally developed for the blue whiting fishery, but with the right belly it also fishes well on herring and has also returned good results on other target species.

“The Dutch skippers have all opted for the belly design optimised for more than one species, and this is all down to the very good experience that Annelies Ilena has had with the 2300 trawl,” he said.

The 2300 trawl’s front sections are spliced in Vónin’s own Capto rope and generate a carefully shaped trawl configuration that tows well, with as little towing resistance as possible.

“The 2300 trawl has performed very well. It has a very good opening and the skippers’ feedback is that this trawl helps them fish more effectively than before.”

2600 SCORES ON SCATTERED FISH After the heavy fishing that takes place on blue whiting west of Ireland every spring, with its tight marks and short tows, the character of the fishery changes as the fish migrate northwards through Faroese waters. This is when fishing for blue whiting is all about long tows and scattered fish – which calls for gear capable of filtering efficiently.

Vónin’s 2600 metre trawl, a scaled-up version of the successful 2300 trawl, has been in use by a number of Faroese vessels this year, with Gøtunes (ex-Gitte Henning), Tróndur í Gøtu and Arctic Voyager all reporting good results, while a fourth Faroese pelagic vessel has also ordered a 2600 trawl.

“It’s designed with this large opening for fishing blue whiting in the Faroese zone, very different to the spring fishery west of Ireland,” Frederik Hansen said.

“This is a big trawl and it’s only marginally heavier to tow than the 2300 gear. With the right rigging, this trawl achieves a fishing circle with a 270 metre opening horizontally and 135 metres vertically, making it ideal for dispersed fish.”

The 2600 metre trawls in use by the Faroese pelagic vessels are rigged with eight-panel bellies, which give the aft section of the trawl a more even shape, providing a better water flow and opening the meshes more effectively, while also allowing the belly to open more fully during the tow.

“There’s a growing interest in this trawl after the results that Gøtunes, Tróndur í Gøtu and Arctic Voyager have seen on blue whiting during the later part of 2020” he said.

TRAWL GEAR

OSPREY OPTS FOR LOW-SHRINK NETTING The Urk-based Osprey Group has a long background in running its fleet of fishing vessels operating in the North Sea and the English Channel, and a central aspect of keeping these active is the company’s own workshops preparing fishing gear for the fleet of ten vessels “In our quest for the quality we need for our trawl gear, we have tried several netting suppliers in past,” said Cornelis de Boer, formerly a successful fisherman and now ashore to manage the family-run company’s operations.

“At the seafood exhibition in Brussels in 2013 we made contact with Indian company Garware, and that was a turning point for us. Since then, Garware has been our preferred netting supplier due to the high and consistent quality of their netting, and most importantly their ability to understand and translate Osprey’s requirements into reality.”

To begin with, Garware’s Sapphire netting was used for bellies, wings and codend sections.

“The results were excellent in terms of compactness, better abrasion resistance and very good mesh stability under difficult conditions. We used Sapphire netting for four years – but we were still searching for an ideal solution to the problem of shrinkage. In 2018 Garware introduced its SNG (Sapphire Next Generation) netting to us for eliminating shrinkage. We were told that SNG wasn’t a new netting, but a successful and popular netting already used in Norway, Russia, USA and Iceland,” Cornelis De Boer said.

Now six of the ten Osprey Group vessels are using Garware’s SNG netting in their gear, according to Willem de Boer.

“After two years of testing SNG extensively, we can say with confidence that by far it’s the best netting for avoiding shrinkage. Due to the stiffness and compactness of SNG netting, the trawl shape is retained for longer period. In addition, the lightness of SNG netting compared to Sapphire contributes to a good opening in our trawl and fly shooting gear. Recently we have changed over completely to SNG netting for our trawls,” Willem De Boer said.

“SNG nets are built to last longer than other available options in market,” said Vivek Kumar, Garware’s product manager responsible for the international fishing market.

“Its unique polymer combination and special thermostabilisation processes makes the netting extra stable. As well as that, the low diameter and compactness of netting provides the opportunity to either build larger trawls to increase catch rates, or to stay with the same trawl dimensions and save fuel,” he said.

TRAWL GEAR Kongsberg Maritime has been selected to supply a large electric winch package for a pelagic trawler/purse seiner, currently being built for the Danish company Astrid Fiskeri at Karstensens Skibsvaerft in Denmark.

The contract includes delivery and commissioning of a set of fishing and auxiliary winches, together with a large variable speed drive package and the latest version of Kongsberg’s control and monitoring system.

The fishing winches will be fitted with new electric multidrive technology, developed by Kongsberg Maritime specifically for pelagic trawling and purse seining.

This includes permanent magnet (PM) motors with gears mounted directly to the gearwheel and drum, allowing for direct transition and smoother, more dynamic operations.

“Kongsberg was early on the market in delivering electric winches to the pelagic trawler fleet,” said Svein Hatlehol Henjesand, sales manager at Kongsberg Maritime.

“This market has traditionally been mostly served by various high-pressure winches, while Kongsberg Maritime has also delivered dynamic low-pressure winches. We believe this has given us a head start in the current shift towards electric winches.”

The deliveries to Astrid Fiskeri include software for remote access and self-

HÉÐINN’S NEW TAKE ON FISHMEAL AND OIL

Héðinn’s engineers have pioneered a new approach, developing the company’s Héðinn Protein Plant (HPP), combining simplified operation with some highly promising results in terms of energy efficiency, manpower needed to run the system, the physical footprint of the installation and outstanding product quality.

In simplifying the fishmeal production process, Héðinn’s engineers have moved away from the conventional process, replacing the complex liquid stage of the fishmeal cycle with a two-stage drying process, which serves to cut down on the number of components, process tanks and control parameters According to Héðinn’s managing director Ragnar Sverrisson, the prime factors in the quality of the fishmeal and fish oil are freshness and type of raw material, but the type and quality of the processing plant is no less important in delivering high grade products.

“Smooth and gentle mechanical handling during transport, pumping and heating of the raw-material are essential to ensure uniform product quality. These are some of the key attributes of the HPP process. During the process, heating surfaces are kept under 110°C to avoid scorching the raw material,” he explained.

“In recent years one of the most challenging topics in the fishmeal and fish oil industry has been renewability and environmental impact, use of natural resources and release of gases and waste water. In this regard, the HPP process stands out. Less energy is used, and since the process is relatively simple, equipment is efficiently covered and suction applied where needed, with the result that there is little or no odour in the plant facility. The steam generated in the first drying stage is condensed in the process and pumped away as liquid. Only the moisture that evaporates in the second air drying step needs to be condensed in a scrubber.”

ASHORE AND AT SEA HPP systems have since been installed both ashore and at sea, with consistently positive results.

“The first HPP system was fitted on board Sólberg ÓF-1, which started fishing in 2017,” explained Ragnar Sverrisson.

Factory trawler Sólberg, built for Siglufjörður fishing company Rammi to replace a couple of older trawlers, has now been operating its HPP system for almost four years, and over that time some valuable lessons have been learned by both Héðinn’s staff and the fishing company. To begin with some adjustments and modifications were needed – as is nothing unusual with a new vessel working with a new production system.

“As the first customer for HPP operations at sea, we experienced various minor problems to start with. However, we worked very closely with Héðinn’s experts on solving issues that arose, and we have been very satisfied with their skills and helpfulness,” said Rammi’s managing director Ólafur Marteinsson, commenting that the Sólberg’s fishmeal

With a great deal of experience behind them in supplying and servicing systems to produce fishmeal and oil both ashore and on board fishing vessels, most fishmeal factories operating in Iceland have benefitted from the company’s expertise

and fish oil production has been a profitable option, as only two of the crew are needed to operate the plant, which can cope with 50 tonnes of raw material every 24 hours.

He added that last year, after a time-consuming process, the fish oil produced on board was certified for human consumption, which has boosted the profitability of Sólberg’s production, while the freshness of the raw material passing through the HPP installation results in an exceptionally high quality fishmeal, with a 62-67% protein content. Production is all sold to customers in Iceland.

According to Ólafur Marteinsson, Sólberg’s trips are usually around 30 days, and storage space tends to fill up towards the end of a trip.

As the first customer for HPP operations at sea, we experienced various minor problems to start with. However, we worked very closely with Héðinn’s experts on solving issues that arose, and we have been very satisfied with their skills and helpfulness “One lesson we have learned is not to underestimate the production capacity of the HPP,” he said.

“If we were looking at commissioning a new trawler, we would allocate a more generous storage space,” he said.

Since the HPP installation on board Sólberg, the same systems have been fitted to factory trawlers Ilivileq, Berlin, Kirkella and Emeraude, all commissioned in the last few years.

As well as seagoing systems, Héðinn has supplied shorebased installations for a variety of production patterns, including for processing shellfish waste in the USA, and an HPP system for handling salmon production waste supplied to Faroese producer Havsbrún. Now Héðinn has also delivered an HPP system to Norwegian processor Grøndtvedt Nutri, which has just started production, working with substantial volumes of herring and mackerel offcuts from the Grøntvedt factory’s primary production of salted and

marinaded products. The meal and oil production means that raw material is 100% utilised into fresh oil and 70% protein LT-meal and the HPP system is designed to cope with a constant round-the-clock flow of raw material during the heavy winter season, processing 300-350 tonnes per day of raw material left over from the main factory’s production.

“This installation is definitely a seal of approval for Héðinn,’ Ragnar Sverrisson said.

EXPERTISE FROM SEATTLE, PRODUCTION IN DENMARK The expertise built up by Danish company Carsoe in supplying complete factory decks with all the capacity needed to produce surimi on board led to the order for the Russian Fishery Company’s new Vladimir Limanov and its sister vessels

8 Vladimir Limanov is the first in a series of sophisticated factory vessels for the Russian Fishery Company

The processing layout on board the new trawler is a significant leap forward in terms of processing value-added products at sea, ranging from shatterpacked pollock fillets to butterfly-cut herring and surimi. It’s a huge step up from the older factory trawlers producing largely wholefrozen and H&G pollock and herring.

Overall production capacity through the horizontal plate freezers is +200 tonnes per day, depending on the production mode and species, and Vladimir Limanov’s factory deck offers a range of options, from conventional H&G and wholefreezing, to the main focus on a value-added production, underscoring RFC’s commitment to reducing by 50% its fuel consumption and emissions per kilo of finished product.

“Producing H/G or whole round fish, we expect they will be utilising full freezing capacity,” said Carsoe’s sales and business manager Jeppe Christensen.

“Producing pollock fillets or surimi will be around half of that per day of finished product.”

Carsoe acted as the primary contractor, developing the layout to suit RFC’s requirements, producing the entire installation at its workshops in Aalborg, which includes liaising with a number of specialist sub-contractors to incorporate their equipment – and finally shipping the complete factory deck to the Tersan yard in Turkey, installing and commissioning it, all of which had to be done within the constraints of coping with Covid-19.

The processing line for pollock takes fish from the reception bunkers, feeding these to a suite of Baader processing machines that includes six Baader 212 filleting machines, from which fillets can be used to produce shatterpacks or fillet block, or can be routed to surimi production.

Carsoe’s engineers have plenty of experience in surimi production equipment, having delivered factory decks to US trawlers fishing in the Pacific, and RFC were looking to operate Vladimir Limanov and its new sister vessels on a similar pattern.

“Our team have been active in Seattle for more than twenty years with these installations and there’s a lot of

20 | FEBRUARY 2021

experience within the company from working with the Alaska fleet,” he said.

“So what we have done here is to combine the experience from Seattle and production capacity at Carsoe’s factory in Denmark to produce these factory deck for RFC. At the moment, only the Russian Fishery Company and Arctic Storm Management Group, Seattle are building new surimi vessels, and we are currently the main supplier producing these factory decks.”

Producing surimi at sea is a demanding process, with the fillets minced and mixed with fresh water before being cleaned in a system of rotary screens and refiners, after which the fish is dried in decanters for the final mixing to produce surimi paste to be frozen and stored in the refrigerated cargo holds.

Herring fillet production routes fish through a single highcapacity Baader 221 filleting machine to produce butterfly fillets that are then packed and frozen.

Vladimir Limanov’s factory deck can also produce fishmeal and fish oil, so that raw material is fully utilised, and nothing goes over the side.

Alongside the frozen production, pollock roe and milt are also extracted and utilised, as was also done on the older vessels, and these are products that are in demand on the Russian domestic market.

“Looking into the future and Baader’s compatible processing solutions, SEAC’s technology is a perfect fit for Baader to further extend our overall product portfolio also among small fish species,” said Baader Fish managing director Robert Focke, commenting on the acquisition of small fish processing specialist SEAC, based at Färjestaden on the Swedish island of Öland

“By acquiring SEAC, we are further concentrating our leading role as a provider of complete protein processing solutions.

The need to meet global food demand now and in the future drives us to continuously improve and advance our offerings,” said Baader’s executive chairwoman Petra Baader.

“Boosting the sale of SEAC processing solutions means ensuring that more small fish species will be available for high- quality human consumption.”

SEAC is a leading supplier of processing machinery for small pelagic species such as yellow croaker, anchovy, sprat and smaller white fish such as blue whiting, Alaska pollack and hake. With more than 30 years’ experience in specialising in handling and processing small fish, SEAC’s FPM machines have been supplied all over the world.

SEAC’s owner Ulf Grönqvist will step down as CEO and hand over his responsibilities to Vidar Breiteig, managing director of Baader in Norway. Anders Lorentzen, managing director of Baader in Denmark, becomes deputy managing director of SEAC, supporting Vidar Breiteig in his new and additional role at SEAC. Ulf Grönqvist will be present in a consultation role to ensure a smooth transition and integration of SEAC into Baader and its well-established international sales and service network and supply chain.

“Having Baader as a backbone will ensure continuation and future extension of SEAC and its technology. It will offer our customers both the certainty and confidence needed for current and future investments,” Ulf Grönqvist said.

“We will ensure that customers will continue to be able to purchase existing and innovative SEAC processing solutions.

8 Vidar Breiteig (left) takes over as SEAC managing director from Ulf Grönqvist

At the same time, we will work towards generating even more customer benefits by integrating SEAC machinery into additional BAADER solutions and service as well as the supply chain,” Vidar Breiteig said.

SEAC will continue to operate as an independent entity under the SEAC brand, with all SEAC employees remaining within their roles and responsibilities. Baader will ensure the continuation of manufacturing and ongoing development of both SEAC machinery and spare parts. The acquisition does not affect any supplier agreements and business partner relationships of SEAC.

100-TONNE PER DAY ICE CAPACITY FOR DANISH FACTORY Needing to install a substantial production and storage capacity for flake ice, a Danish processor went to KTI-Plersch Kältetechnik GmbH in Germany with the challenge of supplying a plant that would meet its particular needs, while also meeting demanding hygiene standards The size of the resulting storage unit, with 15x4.50 metre dimensions and a 4 metre height, presented challenges of its own, and the KTI team installed ice plants in containers next to the outside wall of the building, taking up none of the factory’s interior space.

“The ice plant was too large for the factory, so it had to be sited outside the building,” said Michael Walleter, director of Sales and Marketing at KTI-Plersch Kältetechnik GmbH. “At the same time, we needed to carefully plan the 40-metre feed distance from ice production and storage to the four ice dosers, since the dosers can only take about 150kg of ice at a time, and every metre of distance reduces the flexibility of supply.”

A further challenge was the design of the machinery itself, since the ice has to be hygienically pristine at all times. That meant leaving as few hard-to-clean corners and gaps as possible. The ice plant produces 1.5 to 2mm thick ice flakes, which are liable to clump due to air humidity, and to partial melting and refreezing, so KTI also had to pay attention to keeping the humidity and temperature in the ice storage at a constant low level.

Once ice clumps, it is no longer properly dosable, losing the low volume and high surface area that are the major advantages of flake ice in providing high cooling efficiency.

“We solved the problem of lack of space inside the building by installing the machinery in standard shipping containers,” explained Michael Walleter. “This approach, made it possible to stack the ice maker, which can turn out 100 tonnes a day, and the associated 90-tonne storage unit with KTI’s proprietary ice rake system, on a steel structure next to the outer wall of the factory. The ice conveyors and distributors under the ceiling inside the building are thus easily accessible. As a result, no inside space is used, and the ice can be sent to the dosers quickly.”

He commented that for the remaining ice feed distance, the interaction with ice storage still had to be carefully controlled.

“For this we developed an intelligent control system that makes sure there is always enough ice, while preventing it from staying unused in the transportation system for too long.

The choice of suitable screw conveyors, which are lubricated exclusively with food-safe grease, and the lack of a hopper ensures that the ice flakes will not clump or get contaminated on the way from storage to the fish shipping containers.”

To meet hygienic production and storage requirements, KTI chose stainless steel for almost all of the components coming into contact with the ice.

“The construction of a stainless steel tank inside the ice storage was a big challenge,” he explained.

“Since there is a moving rake to keep the ice evenly distributed, there couldn’t be any cross-struts. We still needed to provide for the stability and evenness of the walls.

Many metal fabricators turned the job down, so we had to make the tank ourselves.”

PROCESSING & QUALITY HYGIENIC AND ENERGY EFFICIENT The antibacterial properties of the stainless steel and its imperviousness to cleansers virtually preclude any contamination of the ice, while making cleaning easier. In constructing the system, ground welded seams were used to minimise dead spaces, while components that are difficult to clean, such as drives for the moving rakes, were enclosed in housings. Another feature minimising the risk of contamination is an automatic lubricant dispenser for the regular lubrication of moving parts with food-safe grease.

To optimise energy efficiency through the entire process, KTI also installed a pre-chiller that cools the supplied fresh water to 5°C, before it is made into ice reducing the freezing unit’s energy requirement and resulting in substantial savings.

“As a refrigerant for ice production we use ammonia (NH3), which is environmentally unproblematic and available in basically unlimited quantities. In combination with an economiser and the pre-chiller, this improves energy efficiency by about 10% over comparable plants,” Michael Walleter said.

The storage was comprehensively insulated and KTI used its unique patented Air Channels. These form an insulating layer between the inner and outer walls of the container, through which cold air constantly flows. This holds the temperature inside the storage at a constant -7°C, preventing gradual warming and thawing of the ice. This technical outfitting of the ice storage ensures that once produced, the ice can be stored with no problems for several days, and then delivered and dispensed.

“Overall, installation of the entire ice supply parallel to the ongoing construction of the factory went ahead rapidly and

was problem-free, since we had preassembled all of the machinery in-house, eliminating the need to do much of the work at the site,” he explained.

“So after delivery of the containers to the factory site by truck, we just had to put them together and connect the lines and cables. There was almost no interference with the customer’s operations, and installation time was reduced from three or four months to about six weeks.”

CFLOW LAUNCHES FLOWLINE CONCEPT A new live fish transport system developed and patented by Cflow is a result of close co-operation with Astorplast AS in Fosnavåg The goal was to find ways for improved transport of live fish by creating a safer and more gentle way of handling.

“We chose an interdisciplinary approach to the development process with our focus being on increased fish welfare,” said Cflow CMO Gunnar Hoff.

“Experts from Norwegian wellboat companies, biologists, and suppliers of cleaning systems have all contributed to the fine-tuning of all functions. Together, we have developed Flowline, a forward-looking concept that will both simplify and improve fish handling.”

“With more than thirty years of experience in fish handling, Cflow has developed a design philosophy based on prioritising the main functions of the fish handling system.

This means reducing bends, valves, lifting height, and piping to a minimum on the more frequently used routes,” said Cflow senior engineer Tor Andre Rønning.

‘‘

Four of these Flowline 5 valves can do the same job as 16 three-way valves on a wellboat with the same function “Current modern fish handling systems, both on land and at sea, have strict requirements for flexibility and options.

Cflow’s new Flowline concept naturally meets both these requirements and those for gentleness.”

He commented that in developing Flowline, the team came up with a new valve with four outlets, which are expected to considerably increase flexibility.

“Four of these Flowline 5 valves can do the same job as 16 three-way valves on a wellboat with the same function.

Similarly, this valve will also simplify fish handling in landbased fish farms,” he said.

FINDING THE RIGHT PLASTIC According to Cflow biologist Birgitte Refsnes, part of the development process focused on identifying a type of plastic with better features than those used on similar valves today.

“For Flowline, we have chosen a type of plastic that is stronger and more solid than the typical PE or PUR. This can handle greater tension and strain. An important focus in the development process has been to achieve the smoothest possible internal transitions,” she said.

“A further focus has been on simplifying cleaning and maintenance. The Flowline valves have therefore been given several ports for cleaning, flushing and draining. The plastic we chose ensures that all surfaces are smooth with no pores or scratches, in order to avoid conditions for bacterial growth,” Birgitte Refsnes said.

The vessel that will become the world’s largest wellboat, the Gåsø Høvding, is being equipped with Cflow’s Flowline valves.

This wellboat is being built at the Sefine Shipyard in Turkey, commissioned by Frøy Rederi.

“We are very happy with the development and the functions of the new pipe system,” said Einride Wingan at Frøy Rederi. “We are very much looking forward to starting to use this system.”

FRASERBURGH TWIN-RIGGER JACQUELINE ANNE A repeat order is always the sign of a satisfied customer and the fact that twin-rig trawler Jacqueline Anne FR-243 is the fourth new vessel in only twelve years for Adam Tait and his sons Adam and Johnny speaks for itself, reports Dave Moore Jacqueline Anne is expected to work six-day trips on North Sea grounds, landing catches in Fraserburgh, with nephrops catches processed by the Scottish Fishermen’s Organisation.

Adam Tait and his sons sail as skippers on a rotational basis across Jacqueline Anne and their other trawler, Rebecca FR-143, which was delivered by the same builder in 2016.

An all-Macduff build, Jacqueline Anne has a 24.50 metre overall length with a 7.60 metre beam and a moulded depth of 4.30 metres. During the design process CFD technology was used at an early stage to measure the resistance of the new hull against previous designs and to identify areas where further improvements could be made. The hull form was finalised and faired virtually by Macduff Ship Design who then produced a detailed set of kit construction plans. The steel kit was cut in house by Macduff Profilers, and the build was split between the yard’s two sites, with steel modules being fabricated in Macduff and shipped to Buckie for assembly, engineering and fitting out.

Jacqueline Anne’s layout is largely similar to the yard’s other recent new deliveries, with cabins, engine room, fish hold and a large freshwater tank forward of the collision bulkhead be. Above deck are the aft shelter, galley, mess and side passage area, catch-handling area and the winch room in the forward section.

The working deck has been customised to suit the owner’s requirements with a dry locker, hold unloading hatch, fishroom access stairwell and refrigeration plant room all to the port side, creating a large hatch-free fish processing area on the centreline and the standard hopper and tray sorting arrangement on the starboard side. The galley and mess area extend the full length of the deckhouse, which also includes a shower and washroom placed centrally.

The first new Scottish twin-rigger to be fitted with a variable pitch propulsion system, Jacqueline Anne has a 2700mm diameter controllable pitch propeller, supplied by Helseth A/S, driven by a Kumera K-CPP-450 two-step gearbox with 12.3:1 reduction.Propulsion power is provided by a 559kW Caterpillar C32 main engine supplied by Finning Power Systems, and freshwater cooled via a Blokland box cooler.

The flexibility of the C32 main engine which allows for full power to be developed between 1600-1800 rpm along with unlimited control of pitch inherent with CPP systems provides a high level of control. This was demonstrated by Jacqueline Anne’s excellent performance during low-speed operations such as manoeuvring in the harbour, while also being able to optimise the engine speed and propeller pitch combinations for both trawling and steaming to achieve maximum efficiency.

Having had experience of the advantages of a triple rudder on the previous Jacqueline Anne and Rebecca, the owners wanted the same installation for the newbuild. Positioned behind the nozzle, the triple rudder means that relatively small helm adjustments are needed to steer, with the effects particularly noticeable when towing across the tide, and there is minimal power loss when turning.

26 | FEBRUARY 2021

Primary hydraulic power is provided by two Danfoss load sensing hydraulic pumps driven from the Kumera gearbox. A back-up hydraulic net-retrieve system is powered by two 45kW electrically driven pump sets, and capable of running simultaneously when both Caterpiller gensets are in use.

Electrical power comes from the two 118ekW Caterpillar C7.1 generator sets which are set up to be run simultaneously if required to power both the general systems and both the electrically driven hydraulic pumps sets. The harbour set is a 33kVa Beta Marine unit contained within a silenced acoustic housing to keep noise to a minimum when alongside.

8 Jacqueline Anne FR-243 is the latest in a series of twin-riggers built for Adam Tait and his sons by Macduff Shipyards

FISHING HARDWARE Macduff Shipyards delivered Jacqueline Anne’s deck machinery and load-sensing hydraulic system, with three split trawl winches located in the forward winch room, placed in a triangular configuration. With a 15-tonne core pull, the winches are fitted with two-speed Hägglunds Drives motors for faster hauling and shooting. The middle wire runs under the wheelhouse floor before leading upwards to a hanging block mounted on the underside of the base on which the powerblock crane is mounted, directly above a secure track for the safe storage of the middle roller.

NEWBUILDS All of the deck machinery aft is operated from a control panel built into the fishing console in the wheelhouse, placed to offer a clear view of the trawl doors and clump coming up to the blocks.

Two 2x12-tonne split net drums are arranged side by side on the non-watertight wooden-decked quarter, in line with the transom shooting and hauling hatches, the lower edges of which are fitted with free-turning large-diameter rollers.

Two sets of 2x8-tonne split sweepline winches are mounted on the shelterdeck in line with openings across the transom that extend down to the shelterdeck.

Thistle Marine Ltd. supplied the MKB13 kinked boom crane fitted with a slew ring base and 24 inch powerblock, mounted on the centre of the trawl gantry.

Adam Tait went to local netmaker Faithlie Trawls for two complete sets of gear for Jacqueline Anne. These are a set of triple mouth letterbox style 200ft trawls rigged on 6-, 8- and 10-inch discs, while for hard ground 180ft Off-Roader” prawn scraper nets rigged on 8- and 10-inch discs are used.

Jacqueline Anne uses 50 fathoms of 34mm diameter 4-strand combination warp and 10 fathoms of 20mm diameter wire rubber legs to connect the twin rig trawls to a 1200kg roller clump and a set of Thyborøn Type 11 doors. Caley Fisheries supplied all Jacqueline Anne’s trawl chandlery, including three sets of 300 fathoms of 22mm diameter fibre core trawl wire.

A set of Simrad PX twin rig double distance net monitoring system monitors the doors and clump, providing a rolling update of the clump’s position in relation to the trawl doors, while also providing twin net spread and pitch/roll measurement, while the clump sensor provides depth and

Woodsons supplied the electronics in Jacqueline Anne’s wheelhouse, focused around the central console and including a quad view video wall of three 55-inch 4K bridge monitors arranged across the front of the wheelhouse, on which all modes of fishing and navigation operations are shown in customised screen displays. Five Neovo X24 wide screen displays are also fitted.

An iPad app enables the skippers to select the preferred screen arrangement.

The sounder is a JRC JFC-180BB digital broadband colour unit operating a combination of four user set frequencies between 38kHz and 200kHz as well as providing ground discrimination data output interfaced to the Olex plotter.

The latest pelagic vessel to join the Scottish fleet was delivered at the end of last year to its Gardenstown owners, who finished a few trips with the new Resolute BF-50 before tying up for Christmas

The family-owned Gardenstown company has operated a number of vessels over the years and the new pelagic trawler is a replacement for a 17-year old vessel that was built for the partnership in Norway. This time the West family went to the Astilleros Balenciaga yard in Spain for the Wärsilä-designed Resolute.

The order for the new 69.80 metre LOA by 14.60 metre breadth Resolute was placed in November 2018.

The previous Resolute is now Artemis BF-60, owned by a partnership that has a newbuild of its own on the way from Karstensens.

The new Resolute has a modernised version of the same main engine as the previous trawler, with a complete Wärtsilä entire propulsion system. The 5200kW Wärtsilä 9L32 main engine turns a WCP 4D1095 controllable pitch propeller via an SC90/2-PDC58 reduction gear, which also runs a 2500ekW shaft generator from the PTO. Bow and stern thrusters are 900kW Brunvoll units.

8 Resolute BF-50 leaving Spain for the delivery trip to Fraserburgh before taking mackerel quotas at the end of 2020

Auxiliary power is derived from a bank of Mitsubishi gensets, with one 1200ekW and two 600ekW units, plus a 200ekW harbour genset.

The owners opted for a Karmøy Winch deck equipment arrangement with a pair of 91 tonne main winches and twin 40m3 net drums with a 110 tonne pull. The package includes netsounder, topline and tail-end winches, as well as a net stacker and cranes mounted on the aft gantry to deploy the stacker and the fish pump.

C-Flow supplied the fish handling system and the RSW system to chill catches in the 2040m3 capacity RSW tanks and the 300m3 feeder tanks is from Frio Nordica.

Resolute started fishing with its Swan Net Gundry 1280 mackerel trawl, spread with a pair of 10m2 Vónin Tornado doors. The herring net on board has been supplied by Jackson Trawls, which also provided sweeplines, warps and a package of deck hardware.

Accommodation on board is for a crew of up to 16.

FAST WORKBOAT FOR AQUACULTURE COMPANY Aquaculture specialist Aqua Kompetanse AS at Flatanger in Norway, has taken delivery of a new ProZero 15m FR Workboat. Despite the challenges of Covid-19, the boat was delivered four weeks prior to the contracted delivery date

8 ProZero International delivered the 15m ProZero Workboat fast workboat to Aqua Kompetanse four weeks ahead of schedule

ProZero International has delivered the ProZero 15m FR workboat though Norwegian subsidiary ProZero Norway AS, where managing Director Kjetil Nygaard has been in instrumental in developing the workboat’s specification in close collaboration with client Akva Kompetanse AS, a leading inspection company in the Norwegian aquaculture industry in Norway.

The new boat is designed on Tuco Marine´s ProZero workboat concept and has been built to allow full use of the latest technology to support inspections and survey operations.

“During the last few years, Aqua Kompetanse has experienced a huge increase in demand for all our services,” explained Øyvind Horn, boat and equipment manager at Aqua Kompetanse.

“Therefore, the need for a new vessel for our surveyors developed, and as our clients expect fast and efficient service along the coast of Norway, the 15m ProZero was chosen due to its seaworthiness and the service supplied by the shipyard.

The speed and great seakeeping capabilities of the ProZero workboat ensure that we can meet our clients faster over a larger operational area.”

“Despite the challenges of Covid-19, ProZero and Tuco Marine have been able to provide great follow-up, throughout the construction period and delivered four weeks prior to contracted date. Aqua Kompetanse has been really pleased with the yard’s flexibility as well as the final product,” commented Aqua Kompetanse general manager Alexander Lindseth.

The advanced equipment fitted on board includes electronic communication and navigation equipment, a line hauler, and an integral crane. The ProZero 15m workboat is also outfitted with a unique track mounting system which

8 Aqua Kompetanse’s 15m ProZero Workboat delivered a 36 knot top speed on sea trials

allows the operator to rapidly configure the interior to accommodate a variety of extra equipment and/or operation specific payloads.

The 15m ProZero is built from lightweight composite materials which ensure low weight, high fuel efficiency and low emissions of greenhouse gasses. Additionally, the need for maintenance is minimised. Due to the low weight and the proven ProZero hull, the new boat was capable of reaching speeds in excess of 36 knots during the sea trials.

“We are tremendously excited and proud that Aqua Kompetanse AS has chosen ProZero,” said ProZero International CEO Jonas Pedersen.

“This 15m ProZero Workboat is a seal of approval of the technology and the products we have been developing and refining for years. We hope that this new boat can contribute to bringing ProZero vessels into the aquaculture industry at an even higher level, supporting the aquaculture business and environment in the very best way. We look forward to a strong collaboration with Aqua Kompetanse AS, not only now, but also in the future.”

NEW ALTAIRE ORDERED FOR 2023 DELIVERY

Illustr: Karstensens Skibsværft

The latest in a series of Shetland fishing vessels to carry the Altaire name will be delivered by Karstensens Skibsværft in May 2023 to the Altaire Fishing Co Ltd. The new pelagic trawler will operate from its home port of Collafirth in Shetland.

“We are extremely proud of this new order, which continues the longstanding working relationship with Altaire’s owners. Present and previous vessels carrying the Altaire name have been steady customers at Karstensens for maintenance and repair works for many years,” said the yard’s Kent Damgaard.

The design, specification and arrangements of Altaire LK-429, which will be the yard’s newbuild #468, are the result of extensive and close co-operation between owners and yard, with details tailored to meet the customer’s requirements.

The new Altaire will operate along the same pattern as the existing vessel in a conventional pelagic trawl fishery.

The focus has been on optimising catch quality and hygiene, with the working environment, safety and comfort for the crew also in the spotlight during the design process.

The 79.95 metre LOA by 16.60 metre beam Altaire will have a 7320kW Wärtsilä 12V31 main engine driving a two-speed gearbox and a 4200mm diameter propeller. The twin 865kW

auxiliarty engines will also be Wärtsilä units.

Thrusters will be supplied by Brunvoll and the deck equipment package is to be supplied by Karmøy Winch.

8 New Altaire is scheduled for delivery in May 2023

The RSW system will be a double 1400kW installation and Altaire will have a double 4200 litre vacuum pump system.
