FRUSTRATION OVER REGULATION

NEW HORIZONS

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

Danish fishermen’s frustration at what they see as endless growth in the burden of regulation boiled over with a protest in Aalborg.

Forty fishing vessels sailed into Aalborg and fishermen marched through the city before a meeting was held with Minister of Fisheries Mogens Jensen. The latest piece of regulation that triggered the industry’s protest was the proposal to introduce compulsory camera monitoring for fishing vessels operating in the Kattegat.

The Minister faced a less than friendly gathering of dissatisfied fishermen following the protest, and he claimed that the industry had been consulted on changes in regulation – a statement that a elicited an emphatic rumble of disagreement.

Svend-Erik Andersen, chairman of the Danish Fishermen’s Association, commented that the Ministry should consider carefully before conducting

experiments with an entire profession, especially at a time when significant challenges are being faced with reduced quotas and the uncertainty around Brexit, on top of added layers of regulation.

“Look around,” he said. “These people are nervous and worried. Some of them have already come to the conclusion that they have to leave the industry. We are at a critical point.”

He said that camera surveillance demonstrates a deep suspicion of the fishing industry.

“This only helps to further damage the reputation of Danish fisheries if there’s some need to rush through camera surveillance before any agreement has been reached within the EU on how appropriate a part of fisheries control this is,” he said.

QUOTAS OUT OF KILTER WITH REALITY New research led by the University of Aberdeen highlights how far adrift fishing quotas in European waters are, relative to current stock distribution.

According to to the study, EU quotas are based on 1970s catch volumes and fishing locations – while in the intervening fifty years many fish populations have since moved due to warming oceans and as they recover from past exploitation.

“It is no wonder that the UK fleet has such a massive discard problem in the North Sea,” commented Professor Paul Fernandes, fisheries scientist at University of Aberdeen’s School of Biological Sciences, who led the study, pointing out that the UK has less than 1% of the total hake catch, yet more than 28% of the population is in UK waters “When the quota shares were set up in the 1970s, there was hardly any hake in the northern North Sea, now there are huge quantities of hake and the

So many kinds of stupid

There are endless varieties of stupid, just as there are many different kinds of smart

Here in Britain there’s a row over an official document that appeared online recently which dropped a few opinions that should clearly never have been for public consumption.

This concerns the Catch App that’s being imposed on inshore fishermen for declaring catches, as everyone has a smartphone, don’t they?

The app hasn’t had a particularly warm reception. In fact, there’s a “Scrap the App” campaign that’s gathering pace already. But as it cost a couple of million to develop, there’s naturally no question of it being withdrawn and taken back to the drawing board.

The furore has been sparked by a document that identified the under 10m sector as being “poor, older, economically marginalised, often limited in education, with reports of high rates of depression and suicide.”

It’s no secret that fishermen and officials the world over generally have little love or respect for each other.

There’s always been a troubled relationship between authority and fishing, especially the small-scale sector that doesn’t tend to have full-time representatives with legal degrees to fight its corner in meetings and the corridors of power, and while officials frequently see fishermen as being stupid, it’s rarely voiced out loud.

There are endless varieties of stupid, just as there are many different kinds of smart. Someone can struggle with a tax return, and yet be capable of taking the head off a misbehaving engine in an open boat on a dark night, and persuading it to run sweetly. That’s not stupid by any stretch of the imagination.

Anyone able to read the wind, tide and the colour of the water to make a 95% correct assessment of just when bass will show up off the reef out there has a rare skill, but may have to call in a grandchild to help them make sense of a smartphone.

But what is unquestionably stupid is to consistently try the same strategy over and over again, in the vain hope of one day getting a different result. That’s what officialdom seems to do best.

What’s even more stupid is to put inflammatory sentiments into an official document, publish it online, and blithely imagine that firstly, nobody’s going to notice, and secondly that when they do see it, those people who have been branded as being thick aren’t going to take umbrage – adding a few more cracks to an already fragile relationship.

DANISH INDUSTRY SEEKS CLARITY OF LEGALITY OF MONITORING Responding to proposals for camera monitoring on board fishing Danish vessels in the Kattegat, Danish Fishermen’s Association chairman Svend-Erik Andersen made the point that cameras do not generate more cod.

“Instead you get fewer vessels fishing, fewer active ports and fewer jobs,” he said.

The Association is currently taking legal advice on the numerous issues that have to be addressed in connection with camera monitoring on board.

“If the Ministry is clearly not going to do this, then we will,” he said, commenting that camera surveillance breaks many boundaries and is an invasion of personal freedoms, as a fishing vessel is a fisherman’s second home.

“We are not aware that other business areas in Denmark are subjected to 24/7 camera monitoring by the state. It’s hard to imagine that other industries have tacitly accepted government camera surveillance. In any case, there are a number of legal issues According to the University of Aberdeen’s study, there are similar, although less severe, discrepancies between UK quotas and current population distributions for stocks of cod, haddock, whiting, saithe, plaice and herring in the North Sea, as well as for stocks of cod, whiting, saithe, hake and monkfish on the west of Scotland.

The only stocks for which the UK gets more than its fair share of quota are monkfish in the North Sea and Rockall haddock.

that we need to have clarified, and we are fortunately living under a rule of law.”

He commented that there are a number of issues that have to be clarified in civil law and in connection with personal data protection.

“We have been seeking concrete answers to these questions from the authorities for ten years,” he said.

“It should have been a logical step to have answers to these questions before forcing camera

monitoring on the Danish fishing industry. Danish fishermen should not be guinea pigs in yet another camera experiment – because that's exactly what this is. At least they could have ensured that the law was in place before burdening an entire profession with yet more new rules,” Svend-Erik Andersen said.

OUT-OF-KILTER QUOTAS should use existing, readily available scientific evidence of fish distributions, to set quota shares. The current system is simply at odds with the policy to land all catches – aka the discard ban,” Professor Fernandes said.

The study, published in the journal Conservation Letters, advocates a system in which quota 8 The system advocated by Professor Fernandes and his team would be based on a new formulation of zonal attachment

shares are allocated based on zonal attachment, instead of using 50-year-old track records.

Professor Fernandes proposes a new formulation for zonal attachment, which considers both adults and juveniles, and accounts for fish moving between areas.

“This has wider implications for the management of fish stocks. It could go towards solving the mackerel wars, for example, by applying some sensible rules to allocating quota in a migrating stock like mackerel,” he said. “I never thought that the European Union would reconsider quota allocations, in spite of the overwhelming evidence of changing fish patterns, because it’s very contentious.

However, with the UK becoming an independent coastal state, there is an opportunity in negotiation with the EU to do something more sensible. It should also go towards solving problems like discarding.”

INSIGHT The Future of Fishing

CORDIAL POST-BREXIT SEAFOOD RELATIONS ARE CRITICAL Retaining market access and consumer confidence are of the utmost importance for both the UK and EU27, writes Jason Holland

8 Economically, fishing is tiny. But politically it’s huge – both for the UK and the EU

1st February 2020 was a very important milestone in the Brexit saga. Three and a half years after the UK referendum result was announced, this was the date that Britain woke outside of the European Union, and crucially for the seafood economy, it marked the first time in 47 years that it didn’t fall directly under the EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) – a parting of ways that could have considerable implications well beyond fish catches and allocations.

The withdrawal agreement that’s now in play provides for a continuation of the status quo as both parties traverse the socalled “transitional period”, but with the ink on the divorce now dry, the decoupling begins in earnest. For fisheries and seafood, this is likely to be an arduous journey. Coining a phrase repeatedly used in the recent general election, Andrew Kyuk of the UK Seafood Industry Alliance, told the Norwegian UK Seafood Summit 2020, held in London, that the UK “had by no means got Brexit done”, stressing that a period of very complex negotiations now lies ahead, which could get “quite fraught, quite messy and quite quickly.”

Kuyk, who is also vice-president of the European Fish Processors Association (AICPE), said, “Economically, it’s tiny, but politically it’s huge – both for the UK and the EU.” Emphasising the point, The Economist lead analyst, Matthew Oxenford, informed delegates that the present UK-EU trade relationship sees Britain export goods totalling £172 billion and £120 billion worth of services to the EU annually in return for £267 billion worth of goods and £92 billion in services from the bloc.

The UK’s seafood exports to the EU, meanwhile, account for less than £1.4 billion, with less going in the opposite direction.

“But fisheries is a politically hot button issue. Britain and the EU have really engaged on this, and it’s going to be a contentious area in the overall negotiation process,” said Oxenford.

DISPARATE AGENDAS Through the political declaration, the UK and EU are now committed to using their “best endeavours” (a legal term) to conclude and ratify a new fisheries agreement by 1 July 2020, including access to waters and quota shares. But this is to be 6 | MARCH 2020

done “within the context of the overall economic partnership” which links it to wider trade talks, said Kuyk.

Currently, Brussels is insistent that fisheries, particularly in terms of access to waters and the resources they contain, must be part of any future free trade agreement (FTA), while the UK wants access to fisheries and access to trade to be separate issues.

Behind these stances, the EU27 that wants to stay as close as it can to current arrangements, whereas the UK government’s public position is based on “taking back control” of its waters as a sovereign coastal state and its claims that to leave the CFP and being able to make its own fishery decisions would be beneficial to fishermen and fish stocks. Indeed, the latter’s new Fisheries Bill, released on 29 January, came with the promise that it contained the powers to ensure a profitable and sustainable future.

CONSUMER NEEDS While neither side wants to lose face, it’s clear that the seafood sector on both sides of the Channel needs much greater clarity on the future relationship, particularly with regards to access to markets. In this respect, Kuyk highlighted that the EU is the world’s largest fish importer and relies on global supply chains to meet nearly three-quarters of its total consumption needs – estimated at 12.4 million tonnes. Until now, the UK has been the bloc’s second largest processor with a total turnover of around £4.2 billion and employing some 14,000 people, a significant proportion of which are EU nationals.

Imported raw materials (from outside the EU) account for the bulk of this industry. In the case of cod, this stands at 90%.

Meanwhile, total EU whitefish catches are only around 500,000 tonnes – against a market need of 3 million tonnes.

“There’s a huge structural deficit. The fact is the consumer – the market – is much bigger than the resources in the EU. So regardless of who catches what in UK/EU waters, maintaining existing trade flows is essential to meeting consumer needs and to also maintain seafood’s market share against competing protein foods,” Kuyk said.

INSIGHT

Based on the most optimistic assumptions about future stock recovery, the EU as a whole would remain a deficit market, he added. Meanwhile, any post-Brexit quota increases for the UK would mainly be for species that it currently exports because of low domestic demand. Even a doubling of cod and haddock catches for which there is demand would leave the UK market well short of its needs.

Furthermore, much of what the UK currently imports undergoes first stage processing elsewhere, and the country doesn’t have spare capacity to deal with any increased landings from taking back control of UK waters, he said.

“Even if [the UK] was to exclude all EU vessels, it wouldn’t have the market or the ability to process it without the capital investment or the workforce, because it’s no good having the factory if you haven’t got people to work in it. That’s something that has been overlooked in some of the political rhetoric about taking back control and regenerating the British fishing industry.”

The UK Seafood Industry Alliance estimates that UK imports total almost 1.3 million tonnes of seafood, valued at more than £2.6 billion, and exports 891,000 tonnes worth over £1.5 billion.

France, The Netherlands, Ireland and Spain make up four of the UK’s top five markets, with European markets being traditionally important for small pelagic species, which are often landed abroad by UK-flagged vessels. At the same time, France, Spain and Italy are the main buyers of UK shellfish, which is often shipped fresh or live to obtain the highest prices.

NEXT STEPS At the time of writing, there hadn’t been any discussions about what comes next for EU-UK fisheries. Kuyk expects the first

stage to be “talks about talks”, setting out the principles, processes and timetable for discussions, and that detailed negotiations will have to await formal adoption of the EU27 mandate, which is unlikely before March.

Meanwhile, having an agreement concluded and ratified by the “best endeavours” date of 1 July so that it can be used to set fishing opportunities for 2021 is a big ask.

“I think that fish will either be front-loaded or back-loaded.

There will either be a scramble for negotiators to get it out of the way, or if there is an impasse, it will get shunted to the back of the queue, ignoring the 1st July deadline.

“It isn’t a coincidence that 1st July is also the deadline within the withdrawal agreement for seeking an extension to the transition. That was quite deliberate,” he said.

Of course, the biggest question of them all is can an agreement be reached? “It is an enormous challenge,” said Kuyt, requiring “very clear fault lines” to be overcome. At present, the opening positions on both sides are a long way apart, especially on the issue of linkage between access and trade.

“But who gets what out of the negotiation is only part of the story,” he said. “Another issue is fish as a source of renewable, high-quality protein. Sustainably managed, it is a renewable resource. It is a natural, low carbon resource with enormous potential to make an even greater contribution to future food security.

“It is vital for the industry as a whole that any new arrangements drive further improvements in standards across supply chains and continue to grow consumer confidence in what we do and allow the industry as a whole to take a bigger share of the market.”

Focusing on Fishery Development

ORGANIC TROUT FROM THE ANDEAN HIGHLANDS After 30 years of working with local trout producers, in the Andean highlands, Truchas Arapa has a strong focus on sustainable development and organic production, reports Eduardo Campos Lima

8 Truchas Arapa brings together 18 local trout producers

The company has recently established partnerships with universities and with a research institute in order to develop new methods and systems, explained the general manager Reyna Callata.

“We’ve been investing in training and innovation in order to increase our projects’ efficiency,” she said, commenting that among the latest projects is the implementation of a water recirculation system for hatcheries, which used to demand fresh water.

“This allowed us to optimise the fish size before releasing them into the lake – with a stronger immune system.”

With different universities, the company is doing research on possible uses for fish skin, including gelatines. Studies are also being conducted on the destination of the production residues and on enhanced methods for the development of trout in its environment.

In 2019, one of the company’s projects was selected by the Technological Fishing Institute of Peru from among 6000 competitors.

“We’re searching for new natural pigments for the fish,” Reyna Callata said.

“Consumers expect trout to have a distinctive red colour, not always achieved during production. Given that Truchas Arapa doesn’t use artificial pigments, natural solutions are being analysed, such as the utilisation of the red squat lobster from the Pacific.

“It’s caught along with the anchoveta by artisanal fishermen, but it’s discarded due to its lack of commercial value.

The idea is to extract astaxanthin from it at the institute,” she explained.

8 | MARCH 2020

The study will be concluded by April and the company expects to run tests shortly after.

Another goal for the near future is to work on the commercial exploitation of local species, especially suche, boga, and karachi, which have high protein values.

“Basically, our model is to be sustainable. We don’t use antibiotics and preservatives and we try to take care of all aspects involving production, even the lake. We don’t let people use motor boats because of fuel spills and all the noise they generate,” Reyna Callata continued.

Truchas Arapa is the result of a social project that was launched 30 years ago by the Swiss-born priest Marcos Degen.

Local fishermen were desperate because there was a serious 8 Truchas Arapa’s products are available in most cities in Peru and have reached some international markets, such as Belgium and Australia

NEW HORIZONS

scarcity of fish at Lake Arapa and asked Fr. Degen to celebrate a Mass in honour of Saint Peter, the patron saint of fishermen.

So, the priest decided to start an initiative to generate income in the region and trout was his first choice.

“I saw this project since I was a child. The focus was always on people; creating work to the local families, offering good products to customers, taking care of our environment,” Reyna Callata recalled.

Truchas Arapa’s products have reached over the years most major cities in Peru and even international markets, such as Belgium and Australia.

“We used to work with canned fish, but we discontinued that product in order to prioritise fresh and smoked products,” she said.

Five years ago, the initial project had to face a large-scale transformation to improve its competitiveness, but all fundamental principles have been retained. The model is based on the association of 18 local producers of trout, who sell their production to the processing plant. Those producers are constantly trained and assisted by the company.

“From our hatcheries, the fry are taken into the lake, no more than one kilometre far from the plant. After one year or so, the fish go back to the processing plant,” she explained. Cages are positioned in areas of the lake with depths of 40 to 70 metres and densities are low. Although nearby mining projects pose a future threat, the water is currently 100% free of contaminants.

Truchas Arapas’ volumes aren’t high, so the company can keep its strict standards of sustainability. Reyna Callata said the company is currently developing ways to aggregate value to its fish and to resume exports.

“Our fish is used in ceviches, carpaccios, and so on. It has a unique flavour of its own, in contrast to salmon.”

National and international partnerships are always desirable, she pointed out – the company is visited by at least a thousand people every year, particularly by students and professionals.

“We’re a company that’s always ready to learn new things.

But our focus is to keep the current model of aquaculture.

We’re not interested in industrialisation, for instance. We want to generate bonds with companies and people in order to create new opportunities.”

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

STRESS-FREE FISH WITH SNG’S FAST FLOW BRAILER A pelagic gear arrangement that until recently was “a few boats trying it out,” according to Swan Net Gundry’s trawl designer Cathal Boyle, has now been adopted by more than 30 pelagic vessels 8 At work on a brailer at Swan Net Gundry’s Killybegs net loft

There has been a long process of development behind SNG’s Fast Flow brailer, an idea that has been through flume tank and full-scale testing before going into commercial use. The Fast Flow brailer has the capacity to hold almost double the volume of fish of a standard pelagic codend, while the length is reduced from 80 to 60 metres.

This provides a significantly larger area for the fish to move around in during the tow, and one pelagic skipper reported back to SNG that the fish stayed up as high as the spitter, and after the gear had been hauled from 70 fathoms, the majority of the fish were alive as they were pumped into the tanks.

Improving fish quality and the price fishermen get for their catch is one of SNG’s core aims, according to Cathal Boyle.

He commented that one of the main benefits of the fish, and mackerel in particular, being in this good state as they are pumped aboard is not just that they are in top condition, but because they have not been stressed or compacted in any way during the tow.

Fillets taken from samples of these fish show practically zero blood spotting through the flesh – an issue which has previously resulted in a proportion of fish being unsuited for international pelagic markets as when on display, as the sight of such blood spots leads the consumer to believe that this is fish of poor quality.

The new brailer design has been partnered with SNG’s new bag handling system, in which the conventional steel rings at the splitter are replaced with DynIce-strengthened loops.

As well as being lighter than the standard metal rings, this greatly reduces the constant minor tears and tangles that have always occurred due to metal rubbing against netting.

“We place great emphasis on innovation and, in a case such 10 | MARCH 2020

as the Fast Flow brailer, improving the water flow, removing large steel rings at the splitter and widening the brailer have combined to now give fishermen a better quality of fish and in turn a better price for their catches,” Cathal Boyle said, adding that good news travels fast and there has been a steady stream of enquiries from pelagic vessel owners across the international industry regarding the new brailer.

“We have new technology that, while it won’t increase the volume of your catch, it will almost certainly increase the return you are getting for your fish,” he said.

“Buyers have always made it clear that top quality returns top dollar. Now this quality issue is set to become a thing of the past.”

Cobham Satcom isn’t a name that’s all that well known across the fishing industry, but it’s a company that has roots in many long established brands that are instantly familiar; Sailor, Sea Tel, Thrane & Thrane and Skanti.

Production remains in Denmark, located at Pandrup in Jutland, and with management in Copenhagen, there is both old and new territory with the group providing marine VHF, MF/HF and GMDSS equipment.

“We’re also doing a lot in Africa and Asia, mainly with the VMS systems that governments are requiring for fishing vessels,” said Cobham Satcom’s maritime sales manager, Mads Ebbesen.

Increasingly the focus is on satcoms for all areas across maritime world, and for the fishing sector a couple of domes high up is becoming standard, especially for the fleet in northern Europe.

“In Norway, Sweden and Denmark this is quality-driven,” he said.

“These are fishing vessels that operate with a small, highly trained crew they want to retain, so access to social media and family contact is essential. It’s a natural and important part of the quality of life at sea today.”

He explained that for broadband and a TV signal, an antenna for each is needed, and that these are largely the same antennae that are used ashore for satellite TV. The difference is

QUALITY IS THE DRIVER FOR FISHING VESSEL SATCOMS the tracking equipment that enables the antenna within the dome to move and stabilise to receive a steady stream of satellite signals.

“It’s a parabolic receiver. The difference is that it moves,” he said.

“If we do our part of the job correctly, then you don’t notice it. There’s so much you can do with broadband now and we’re the enabler, so it has to work. The more you use it for, the more critical it is that it works.”

Mads Ebbesen commented that things have been moving in this direction for the last five to ten years as the opportunities offered by online technology have continued to grow.

“People start small, then they see the advantages that this offers, and as there are more and more smart applications, they see the advantages of broadband at sea – how it is has proven pivotal in optimising and growing their business and thus a need for more bandwidth,” he said.

“There are many benefits to this, but it comes at a cost.”

A smaller multi-

directional receiver is an option rather than the larger parabolic antenna.

“That’s fine for email and basic services, but you’re not going to stream Netflix through it,” he said.

“It can be complicated to find the right system, and there’s a lot to consider.”

This includes areas of operation, as the high bandwidth Cobham systems operate mainly on the KU & Ka-band via a network of geostationary satellites, the downside of which is that polar regions are not covered.

“It just touches Greenland,” Mads Ebbesen said. “If you want this to work further north, then it has to be the L-band, which has lower bandwidth, but offers global coverage. Away from the north, our VSAT portfolio is highly effective in enabling connectivity, however adding L-band as a companion ensures optimum coverage in all conditions”.

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

HIGH STRENGTH FIBRE SUPER ROPES Two years ago Hampiðjan developed a new variety of super-rope under the Prima brand, and this has been welcomed by the company’s customers as Prima’s popularity has grown rapidly.

This rope is produced using high-strength fibres from DSM, which also produced the Dyneema fibres that are at the heart of Hampiðjan’s DynIce super-strength ropes, although a number of factors differentiate Prima from DynIce. Every diameter of Prima is produced in a 1x12 braid, with each strand consisting of yarns that are specially spun and impregnated before the rope is braided.

This protects the rope during the production process and gives a higher breaking strength.

The impregnation is a blend that has performed outstandingly well and this new treatment also makes splicing Prima ropes light work. The price is highly competitive and significantly lower than that of DynIce. To meet the strong demand for Prima, every variation of this rope has been prepared and Prima is available with a braided protective jacket made in either polyester or super-strength fibres, although according to Hampiðjan, the

8 Prima is available with or without a stiff core, and can be supplied with or without a protective jacket

best option is always to go for a jacket made from the same material as the rope it protects, as the much significantly greater elongation can cause problems, and the super-strength fibres offer a far higher abrasion resistance.

Prima braided rope is also available with a

8 Every variety of Hampiðjan’s Prima rope is produced in a 1x12 braid

stiff core, with or without a protective jacket.

Prima Plus, a heat-tensioned version of Prima, is also available in the same configurations, with a jacket or core, or both jacket and core.

Prima Plus is ideal for sweeplines and there are four basic options that are produced to order.

A key innovation is a Prima sweepline with a movable jacket, and this rope is available on drums in long lengths. This makes it possible to produce sweeplines at short notice, as the length can be measured as it comes off the drum.

The jacket can be pushed along for the eye to be spliced, and the jacket can then be moved back to cover and protect the splice.

The Prima jacket can also be used to protect sweepline eyes.

Prima Warp is a further innovation that makes this super-strength rope able to compete with steel wire rope for trawl warps.

In addition, Primanet is netting made from the same super-strength fibres as the Prima rope, and this is available at a more competitive price than Dynet, while its strength has also shown itself to be better as the Prima yarns form more effective knots.

SCHOTTEL NORDIC STRENGTHENS ITS POSITION IN NORWAY Schottel has been developing and manufacturing azimuth propulsion and complete propulsion systems with power ratings of up to 30mW for vessels of all sizes and types for almost 70 years

8 Frøy Rederi’s new live fish carrier is powered by an advanced dieselelectric propulsion system, with two Schottel rudder propellers and a transverse thruster

The company has been attracting orders on the Norwegian market for fishing industry vessels, including for the world’s largest live fish carrier and for an innovative 67-metre longliner will feature Schottel thrusters. Both vessels are under construction in Turkey for Norwegian owners.

The Sefine Shipyard in Turkey won the contract to build the largest live fish carrier in the world. Ordered by the Norwegian company Frøy Rederi, the Møre Maritime-designed vessel will provide space for 7500m3 of water in fishing tanks.

The 83.20 metre and 30.90 metre breadth live fish carrier is powered by an advanced diesel-electric propulsion system.

The portion supplied by Schottel comprises two 1800kW type SRP 460 L CP rudder propellers, each with a 2600mm diameter, and one type STT 4 CP1000kW transverse thruster. This combination will help Frøy Rederi’s vessel achieve optimum propulsion efficiency and maximum manoeuvrability.

To be environmentally compliant, the live fish carrier will be equipped with the patented and DNV-GL type-approved Schottel LEACON sealing system. Through the use of separate seals on the seawater side and on the gearbox side, the sealing system ensures that, in case of leakage, seawater entering the system or gear oil escaping from the system are collected in an intermediate chamber. This prevents water from entering the gearbox and, of even greater importance, oil from escaping into the seawater.

The second vessel is a Marin Teknikk-designed longliner for Norwegian fishing company Østerfjord and is currently under construction at the Tersan Shipyard in Turkey. This vessel will be driven by a hybrid propulsion system featuring a Reintjes gearbox. Here, the Schottel scope of supply consists of a twospeed propulsion system – combining a retractable thruster, a tunnel thruster and a controllable pitch propeller.

Due to the adjustability of the pitch of the propeller blades, the 2550kW SCP 77 4-XG is ideally suited for a wide range of operating conditions such as manoeuvring, berthing, shooting or retrieving fishing gear. As a result, the operator benefits from 14 | MARCH 2020

a high degree of efficiency – leading to lower operating costs and reduced fuel consumption. In addition, a 460kW Schottel type SRP 190 RT retractable rudder propeller and a 335kW STT 170 FP unit ensure maximum manoeuvrability during fishing.

The new longliner – measuring 67.00 metres in length and 14.60 metres in breadth – is scheduled to start fishing in mid2021. The vessel design includes an automated longline system with capacity for 76,000 hooks, as well as capacity for seine netting. It also features a factory deck equipped with automated filleting and H&G production on board.

SCHOTTEL NORDIC As of November 2018, Schottel Norway AS and Frydenbø Schottel Nordic AS are merged as Schottel Nordic AS. The German propulsion expert is now able to provide both newbuilding advice and after-sales services in the Nordic region. The company’s Norwegian headquarters for service products are still located in Gardermoen and feature workshop facilities for the overhaul of thrusters as well as warehousing. The company has retained its offices in Bergen and Ulsteinvik in order to remain an active partner for the maritime industry there.

MAN HYBRID PROPULSION PACKAGE FOR GREENLAND’S RESEARCH VESSEL

Illustration: Skipsteknisk

A complete MAN propulsion package has been delivered to the Astilleros Balenciaga shipyard in Spain where the new Skipstekniskdesigned research vessel for the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources is under construction.

Minimisation of noise is central to the operating mode of the 61-metre, ice-class research vessel, and the propulsion choice went to MAN 27/38, 175D and D2862 engines, a 5bladed MAN Alpha propeller and both remote-control and MAN HyProp systems.

“This marks the first time that we have sold an MAN 175D unit to a research vessel, yet another market niche that it capably fills and testament to how versatile a performer this engine is,” said Lex Nijsen, Head of Four-Stroke Marine Sales – MAN Energy Solutions.

“That it forms part of a complete propulsion package with our 27/38 engine and other MAN equipment is most welcome, and sits well with our intention to increasingly become a supplier of complete propulsion solutions.”

He commented that the vessel’s propulsion package has been assembled with a special focus on minimising noise. As such, the research vessel will be driven by a diesel-mechanical setup with the 27/38 acting as main propulsion and the MAN 175D and D2862 engines as auxiliary gensets. The 175D and D2862 will receive

double-resilient mounting to comply with the vessel’s SILENT F notation. The fully-integated MAN HyProp ECO frequency drive for DE operation system will control the rotation of the five-bladed Alpha propeller. Both auxiliary engines are double-resilient seated.

The DNV-GL’s SILENT class is the first set of rules for underwater noise emission from vessels. It provides owners of acousticallysensitive vessels with concise, realistic criteria

LEADING THE WAY ON ZERO EMISSIONS RESEARCH

Damen Maaskant Shipyards Stellendam is heading a research project to investigate the application of hybrid and fully electric propulsion for the Dutch mussel farming sector

The AQUACULTURe project is a collaborative effort between Damen and numerous parties, including equipment suppliers, service providers and local mussel farming companies.

AQUACULTURe is part of the Damen Shipyards Group’s longstanding hybrid and electric propulsion development programme, which has already resulted in hybrid ferries, hybrid urban public transport vessels, and fully electric inland waterway cargo vessels.

The Dutch mussel farming sector is an internationally recognised and economically important industry and the shallow and protected waters of the Wadden Sea and the Eastern Scheldt estuary provide ideal conditions for quality mussel harvests. Mussel farmers grow the mussels either on the seabed or on ropes using the hanging method. They use specially designed flat-bottomed vessels, which are typically diesel-powered, for mussel handling activities.

Damen Maaskant initiated the AQUACULTURe project in response to the ever-increasing significance of reduced exhaust emissions of CO2, particulate matter (PM), sulphur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). This relates to the stricter IMO regulations regarding SOx and NOx emissions and the European Union’s Stage V regulations concerning vessels operating on inland waterways.

The subject of hybrid and electric propulsion is not new to the Damen Shipyards Group, as there are numerous hybrid 16 | MARCH 2020

It is expected that the AQUACULTURe project will only profit from this previous experience.

IMPROVING SYSTEM EFFICIENCY The overall aim of AQUACULTURe is to demonstrate the potential of hybrid and electric propulsion to reduce exhaust emissions and increase profitability of operations within the shellfish farming sector. This is with a clear focus on current, in addition to future, regulations. This led to Damen Maaskant establishing the following three specific goals for the AQUACULTURe project, to develop a power supply system that enables fully electric operation for at least 50% of the time, to improve energy efficiency of installations by a minimum of 15%, For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

The overall aim of AQUACULTURe is to demonstrate the potential of hybrid and electric propulsion to reduce exhaust emissions and increase profitability of operations within the shellfish farming sector and to reduce CO2, NOx, SOx and PM emissions by a minimum of 50% compared to current levels.

A key starting point for the project was to obtain up-to-date data about the energy needs and efficiency levels of vessels that are currently operating.

To achieve this, Damen Maaskant is working with a number of local mussel farming companies, including Prins en Dingemanse and Neeltje Jans Mosselen which are sharing such crucial data. This includes information about the applicability of exchangeable batteries, the choice of battery and shore power.

Various industry stakeholders are also involved in the project.

This includes design company Vripack (design and styling), hull and propeller optimisation specialist SIPmarine, electrical installation and battery selection company Maritiem Elektro Zeeland, JVS/Technofisica, which is carrying out base measurements of current vessels, and Partners for Innovation, which is determining environmental impacts.

The initial results of the AQUACULTURe project were presented by Damen during the 6th International Shellfish Conference, which was held in January at Deltapark Neeltje Jans in the Netherlands.

NEXT GENERATION’S CAREERS IN AQUACULTURE An inspirational new employment campaign has been launched, designed to encourage young people in Scotland to take up careers in the thriving aquaculture sector

8 Valentina Romano, assistant farm manager at Dawnfresh

The recruitment drive – led by partners from the Scottish Aquaculture Innovation Centre (SAIC), Lantra and Women in Scottish Aquaculture (WiSA) – is targeted largely at under 30s including school-leavers, university students, and graduates.

The campaign aims to showcase the variety of roles on offer in the sector, highlighting the scope and potential for a rewarding and successful career.

Promoting careers in aquaculture and addressing skills development was one of the key recommendations highlighted in the sector’s 2030 growth strategy. The total number of Scottish jobs supported by aquaculture is predicted to rise from 8,800 to 18,000 over the next decade.

The collaborative campaign was unveiled by Fergus Ewing, MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Rural Economy, at an event in Stirling.

The launch was attended by representatives from the sector, higher education, secondary schools and careers services.

“Scottish aquaculture is thriving and offers amazing careers in some of our most remote and stunning locations. Getting the right people in the right roles and ensuring the future workforce is key to unlocking further sustainable growth in the sector,” said Fergus Ewing, MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Rural Economy.

“Whether you are a school leaver or a graduate, it is an exciting time to be part of a sector which enjoys a worldwide reputation for quality, healthy farmed seafood.”

A series of inspirational short films are at the heart of the recruitment drive, featuring a number of young people already working in Scotland’s growing aquaculture sector.

The videos cover the breadth of the sector, from farm management to breeding programmes, and feature young people employed by some of the major players in Scottish aquaculture, from producers such as Dawnfresh, Mowi and the Scottish Salmon Company, to feed maker BioMar and genetics expert Xelect. One of the films also focuses on post-graduate 18 | MARCH 2020

study with a student from Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), University of the Highlands and Islands.

A sector skills review, published by Highlands and Islands Enterprise in 2018, identified that there were 1,539 students studying aquaculture-related courses at higher education level. However, a significant gap exists in the number of students embarking on a career in the sector, with only 38% of graduates working or undertaking further study – a figure which is not specific to aquaculture.

“Young people are an essential part of the future success and sustainability of aquaculture in Scotland and, as the people featured in our videos show, it can be both an exciting and rewarding career. The opportunities are wide and varied, ranging from working with seafood producers on fish farms, to exploring innovation and harnessing data to support new supply chain technology,” said Mary Fraser, head of skills and talent at SAIC. “Making decisions about careers can be a daunting prospect for school leavers and graduates, but we hope that this campaign will inspire them to turn their thoughts towards the sector and the potential career paths it can offer. With a new wave of talent, the sector can benefit from new ideas, insight and processes ultimately helping to future-proof aquaculture in Scotland.”

Development of the career films, to attract young people to the industry, supports the Aquaculture Skills Action Plan led by the Public Sector and Industry Partner Skills Steering Group.

“Lantra was delighted to be involved in this project. It was hugely collaborative from the outset, everyone working together to identify a wide range of individuals who would be best placed to communicate the hugely diverse opportunities within the sector,” commented Lantra director Liz Barron-Majerik.

“I think the films clearly demonstrate the passion and enthusiasm of those working in Scottish aquaculture; for their job, the environment and the people they work with.”

R&D COLLABORATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE SALMON PRODUCTION Developing more robust and sustainable salmon through nutritional product innovations and associated scientific documentation is the aim of Alltech’s latest aquaculture collaboration

8 Jan Ivar Bildøy of Blom Fiskeoppdrett with Oystein Larsen, aqua division manager at Alltech Norway, on site at one of the six salmon farms participating in Alltech and Nofima research into sustainable salmon production

Global nutrition company Alltech has teamed up with leading companies, and Nofima, Norway’s institute for applied research, on six research licences for salmon farms run by Blom Fiskeoppdrett, SalmoNor and Salten FoU. As part of this series of large-scale experiments; industrial production, organic minerals and heterotrophic microalgae are to be tested.

The project has been named EINVU, a Norwegian acronym that stands for Nutritional Innovations — the key to solving major welfare challenges. Over the next three years, trials will be conducted on each farm responsible for operating the licenses.

Alltech will supply products for testing, as well as overseeing the management of the projects. Nofima will be responsible for trial design, analysis, interpretation of data and reporting.

In small scale experiments with organic minerals, we see that the mineral deposit in the fish is higher and the fish can better withstand stress “In the project, we want to investigate whether we can achieve positive performance results, similar to what we have seen in small scale trials. It will be very exciting because that’s where fish really get challenged,” said Elin Kvamme, project manager at Alltech.

Farms have been chosen to represent three different parts of 20 | MARCH 2020

Norway, all with different operational challenges. During the trial period, the effect of various levels of organic trace minerals and microalgae will be sampled and tested to monitor progress.

From small-scale to commercial production, many factors and environmental conditions can cause stress for salmon. For example, if temperature fluctuations, oxygen and sea lice infestation occur concurrently, the salmon can become weak, leading to disease and, in some cases, increased mortality.

“In small scale experiments with organic minerals, we see that the mineral deposit in the fish is higher and the fish can better withstand stress,” she explained.

“Growth is also better; we see a lower mortality rate and reduced gaping. When it comes to the use of microalgae in the feed, we have seen increased growth, better pigmentation and improved EPA + DHA levels.

“The future supply of fish oil is uncertain, and alternatives must be sourced. Heterotrophic microalgae have high levels of omega-3, and it is, therefore, appropriate to study the effects of replacing marine raw materials with this sustainable source.”

In 2012, Alltech entered into a strategic collaboration with Nofima to document the effects Alltech products and solutions have on salmon.

“We are very pleased that Nofima, a respected research organisation, has partnered with us on this journey. All products have been carefully tested and published in reputable journals,” Elin Kvamme added.

excellence for our customers in the international aquaculture industry.”

MPI’s Scottish customers, who produce more than 150,000 tonnes of salmon annually, have welcomed the initiative, as having an engineer and parts storage facility in the Highlands ensures that equipment is regularly serviced and that any potential down time will be at a minimum. The benefits extend beyond Scotland, as the entire UK and Irish fish farming

community will also enjoy the local feel of having a service engineer within easy reach.

MPI’s country manager in the new centre is Oban native Alasdair Cameron who says he has already formed strong bonds with MPI’s clients in both the UK and Rep of Ireland.

“This project has been a whirlwind since the decision was made to establish this centre in Oban, and to say that the aquaculture industry have welcomed the news would be an understatement,” he said, adding that the three largest salmon producers in Scotland are MPI clients, which he feels says a great deal about the quality of MPI’s cage-cleaning systems.

FRASERBURGH TWIN-RIGGER BREAKS NEW GROUND Three years of planning went into twin-rigger Virtuous FR-253, delivered by Parkol Marine Engineering to father-and-son team Sandy and Alexander West, reports Dave Moore

8 Virtuous FR-253 replaces a 2010 Parkol-built trawler of the same name

There’s a lot of shared history between the West family and Parkol, as the new trawler replaces the old Virtuous, which was completed by the same yard in 2010. Designed by Ian Paton of SC McAllister & Son, the new trawler incorporates some new thinking, as the owners were looking to make twin-rigging a safer and smoother process, getting away from the traditional method of bagging catches forward on the starboard side.

As this called for a way of handling catches aft while retaining the two sets of split net drums aft, some new ideas were needed. Virtuous is designed with a stern ramp, located between the two gates facing the net drums, below the secure box for the centre clump weight and leading to a reception hatch aft of the wheelhouse.

“Although adapting to the new working arrangements represented a considerable learning curve, we were helped by the fact that they worked smoothly from the off when the anticipated benefits were immediately apparent,” Sandy West said.

“There is no doubt that fishing efficiency and safety have been significantly enhanced. Without the need to come round on the gear, the process of hauling is now continuous. In turn, this has reduced the time taken to shoot and haul. There are further time savings when moving grounds, as we can start steaming to the next selected position as soon as the gear is up, rather than having to lie until the codends are aboard.”

The forward section of the new trawler also departs from tradition, and the owners were interested in exploring the possibilities of new bow designs, leading to a prominent bulb that leans towards the inverted bow designs common in the offshore sector and increasingly with larger fishing vessels. The arrangement provides greater buoyancy forward, reducing 22 | MARCH 2020

slamming and consequently fuel consumption. According to Sandy West, Virtuous refused to slam at all during the heavy weather maiden trip.

“Virtuous handled some trying conditions well and immediately started to show her seakeeping capabilities. Early indications are that she will be an extremely comfortable sea boat, which was one of our main objectives,” he said.

“Although it’s early days, in my mind there is no doubt that the new style of bulbous bow is a major contributory factor to the first class seakeeping qualities we are now benefitting from. Full credit for this, together with the new aft bagging arrangements, goes to designer Ian Paton for applying divergent thinking to our initial requests and turning them into reality.”

As well as the innovative bow arrangement, the full 7.80 metre breadth of the 24 metre LOA Virtuous is maintained virtually all the way to the transom to meet the needs of the new codend handling arrangements.

The trawler’s layout places the catch handling area forward under the weathertight shelterdeck, while the galley and mess area are also at main deck level, as is the winch room, located forward. Below main deck level there is a conventional layout with the forepeak, chain locker and thruster room forward, then the fishroom, engine room and cabin with eight deep bunks.

MITSUBISHI POWER Virtuous has a bank of Mitsubishis in the engine room, supplied

by Padmos. The 555kW S6R2 T2-MPTK-3 main engine is solely for propulsion, driving a Reintjes WAF 474 gearbox at a 7.476:1 reduction to turn a 2500mm diameter four-bladed propeller and modern high-thrust, low-drag nozzle, designed by Ian Paton.

A 335 kW Mitsubishi S6B3 variable-speed auxiliary engine mounted on the port tank top powers the deck machinery hydraulics through a JBJ splitter box driving two Kawasaki loadsensing 115kW pumps. An electrically driven 45kW power pack is used to drive a load-sensing hydraulic towing pump, as well as provide back-up hydraulic power. This arrangement also enables the deck machinery to be operated in harbour without the need to run the main engine. Electrical power on board is supplied by a pair of 105kW Mitsubishi 6D16T auxiliaries driving 125kVA Newage Stamford 415/3/50 generators.

Cooling for all four engines and the hydraulic system is provided through NRF box coolers arranged across the forward end of the engine room. Sea chests, valves and associated pipework are protected from mussel growth by a Sonihull ultrasonic generator supplied by NRG Marine. This generates bursts of ultrasonic energy in multiple frequencies, to create a pattern of alternating positive and negative pressure to cause cavitation the result of which is a micro jet action that cleans the underwater part of the hull and prevents the build-up of single cell organisms such as algae.

SPLIT WINCHES Instead of the standard three-drum winch for twin-rigging, Sandy and Alexander West opted for three split trawl winches, located in the forward winch room. The deck equipment package is supplied by EK Marine, which designed and fitted the full hydraulic setup.

The trio of two-speed trawl winches have a 15-tonne core pull and carry 275 fathoms of 22mm warp on each drum, as well as a further 50 fathoms of 28mm backing wire. Port and starboard warps lead over the shelterdeck top to hanging blocks on the aft gantry, while the middle warp runs slightly offset to starboard under the wheelhouse floor before leading upwards and over a roller built into the gantry to the secure box for the clump.

The split trawl winches are operated from a control panel built in to the fishing console in the wheelhouse, from where there is full sight of the trawl doors and clump coming up to the blocks.

While towing, the outer wires are chained up to a free running slewing block on a short strop attached to swivel blocks mounted on the trawl gantry. The middle wire is worked directly off the winch drum, allowing the skipper to adjust warp length depending on the spread data from the Simrad TV80 trawl monitoring system.

Two sets of double 15-tonne split net drums are arranged side by side on the quarter in line with the transom shooting and hauling hatches, the lower edges of which are fitted with large-diameter rollers. EK Marine provided the 1.5t/7m kinked boom crane fitted with a Thistle 24in W-sheave powerblock on the trawl gantry. Codends are brought up the stern ramp by a 7-tonne gilson.

Catches are sorted on an elongated sorting table where the crew select whitefish and prawns into baskets. Sorted and gutted fish and tailed prawns are washed and dropped down to the fishroom for weighing and labelling on the Marel M2200 scales, with data logged onto the wheelhouse computer. The fishroom has a working capacity for approximately 1000 boxes and 6 tonnes of flake ice can be held in two ice lockers, each fed by a Ziegra TW 1250 machine. Premier Refrigeration of Fraserburgh fitted chilling to both the forward and aft bulkheads, as well as the deck head.

flush mounted in the main and overhead forward consoles, and aft at the trawl console with its view over the trawl deck, and flanked by CCTV displays of activity on the quarter, forward at the split trawl winches and from the top of the aft mast. In addition to the 14 CCTV cameras on board, there is also a hullmounted camera overlooking the propeller, nozzle and rudder.

An additional display screen is also positioned at the central desk area in the wheelhouse for recording fish weights, using the e-log, weather services and general internet use.

The main console is arranged on a single level forward of two NorSap NS1500 skippers seats that flank a central island console. A Simrad twin-rig double distance net monitoring system provides gear spread and fuel economy data and the three Simrad PZ sensors provide constant numerical and graphical updates of the middle clump’s position in relation to the trawl doors. The door sensors provide twin net spread and pitch/roll data, while the clump sensor provides depth and water temperature measurement.

The fishfinder is a Simrad ES80 split beam echo sounder with 38kHz split beam and 200kHz single beam transducers.

Position data is fed to the Olex 3D plotter with ground discrimination, and two Sodena Easywin plotters which support a combination of Tide T8 charts, AIS and ARPA tracking.

8 EK Marine supplied the three split trawl winches located in the forward winch room

8 Ian Paton designed Virtuous with a bagging ramp at the stern, doing away with the conventional method of emptying the codend forward on the starboard side

ELECTRONICS Virtuous has an array of mainly Simrad electronics supplied, installed and commissioned by Echomaster Marine, with a combination of 17-, 22- and 24-inch Neovo X-Series flat screens For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

NEWBUILD

PIRIOU DELIVERS THREE NEW LONGLINERS TO NOUMEA The order represents the second stage of Sem Sodil subsidiary Navimon’s fleet renewal as it replaces a series of vessels that were also built by Piriou almost twenty years ago

8 The three new longliners replace older vessels in the Navimon fleet that were also built at Piriou

The first two of the eight new vessels were delivered in November 2018 and have since been successfully longlining for tuna in New Caledonia’s exclusive economic zone.

The latest delivery is a trio of new longliners, Nengone, Iaai and Paici-Cemuhi, were delivered to Navimon at the end of 2019, just as the company confirmed its order for a final three new vessels to complete the series. These will be delivered by Piriou in late 2020.

With the decision to build the new series of longliners to

renew Navimon’s fleet, the company was looking for better working and living conditions that would provide the crew with a great level of comfort, as well as making maintenance easier, improving operating costs and responding to requirements relating to both safety and environmental concerns.

The new 340kW longliners are each 20.70 metres overall, with a 6.90 metre beam. Each has a 75m3 of fishroom capacity, divided into a 50m3 fishroom chilled to 0°C and a 25m3 hold refrigerated to –25°C.

Myklebust lands latest Sølvtrans contract

The Myklebust shipyard at Gursken in Norway has signed its fourth wellboat contract with Sølvtrans Rederi in Ålesund.

The vessel is based on Kongsberg NVC 389, the design used for one 4000m3 loading capacity vessel already under construction at Myklebust for Sølvtrans.

The new hull will also be built at the Turkish shipyard Hat-San. Delivery of what will be newbuild no. 76 from Myklebust Verft is set for October 2021.

“We are proud to have landed successive contracts with Sølvtrans. This new contract allows us to utilize positive synergies and learning between projects, together with all the suppliers,” said Inge-Jonny Hide, managing director at Myklebust. The contract entails

several deliveries from a number of local businesses, the largest in scope being with Kongsberg Maritime, MMC First Process and Hareid Group.

"We are seeing a positive market for the 4000-cubic series that we have contracted

with Myklebust, and we are happy to find the quality we are always looking for available locally," said Sølvtrans CEO Roger Halsebakk, commenting that this contract fits well with Myklebust's strategy to build more vessels for the same customer using familiar technology and design.

"This is also a big vote of confidence from Sparebanken Møre, for providing construction financing for yet another newbuild at Myklebust Verft," Inge-Jonny Hide added.

NEWBUILD

Nueva Pescanova Group has seen off its new trawler Ponta Matirre, which is now on route to Mozambique where it will for fish the company’s Pescamar subsidiary.

Ponta Matirre is the second newbuild in a series of seven to be delivered to the company

by Astilleros Armón, and follows Lalandii 1 which docked in Namibia at the end of the year to fish for hake for NovaNam. The series of seven newbuilds for Nueva Pescanova consists of three 50 metre fresher trawlers to operate in Namibia and four freezer trawlers to fish in Mozambique. The overall investment by the group is put at €42.5 million.

The focus throughout the design of both groups of trawlers has been on high performance, while minimising emissions and fuel consumption, with a balance between fishing efficiency and energy efficiency.

DESIGN PROCESS Virtual reality was used as a vital part of the design process, both in arranging crew quarters to provide a safe and comfortable working environment, as well as in laying out the deck to keep hauling and gear handling times down.

Ponta Matirre has a 32.1 metre overall length, a 700kW main engine and works with a crew of 22.

SECOND NUEVA PESCANOVA TRAWLER DELIVERED

The name of the new trawler was selected with a poll among the company’s fishing skippers and the new trawler takes its name from a fishing area on the Sofala Bank, the prawn grounds where Pescamar’s vessels operate.

8 Ponta Matirre has been delivered to Nueva Pescanova by Astilleros Armó

Built at the Astilleros Armón yard in Vigo, the series of seven modern fishing vessels for Nueva Pescanova Group supports 200 jobs in Galicia.
