PELAGIC SECTOR WELCOMES MACKEREL QUOTA BOOST

ANALYSIS

Argentine red shrimp producers expect to see market recovery page 8

TRAWL GEAR

The pelagic sector has been given a boost with negotiations around next year’s mackerel catch providing for a 41% increase in quota for 2020.

This development has been welcomed by Killybegs Fishermen’s Organisation CEO, Seán O’Donoghue who said the conclusion of the recent coastal states meeting in London has resulted in a very satisfactory tripartite agreement.

The mackerel quota of 922,000 tonnes is between the EU, Norway and the Faroe Islands, and continues to exclude Iceland, Russia and Greenland.

The EU has a 454,482 tonne share of the TAC, the Faroe Islands have 116,118 tonnes and Norway has a 207,551 tonne share.

Seán O’Donoghue commented that the 2020 Irish mackerel quota is 78,054 tonnes which represents an increase of 22,740 on this year’s quota of 55,314 tonnes.

“Last year, I was extremely critical of ICES and its scientific advice. That criticism was proven 100% accurate since an ICES review on May 15th last provided for an overall figure of 770,358 tonnes for 2019 instead of 318,403 tonnes and now a further increase for 2020 to 922,064 tonnes, a figure which is an incredible increase of almost 190% on the advice it had offered in September of 2018," he said.

NUEVA PESCANOVA’S NEW TRAWLER DELIVERED The first of the series of new trawlers being built for fishing company Nueva Pescanova has sailed from Vigo for the southern hemisphere.

The 49.65 metre Lalandii 1 is the lead vessel in a series of three fresher stern trawlers that will deliver catches to Nueva Pescanova affiliate NovaNam in Namibia. The company is also building four freezer trawlers that will fish shrimp in Mozambique for Pescamar. The new vessels represent a €42.5 million investment, and the company claims this is the most important contract made in Spain by a company in the fishing sector.

Lalandii 1 is the most advanced trawler in the Nueva Pescanova fleet today, designed and built by Astilleros Armon, with the design team making use of virtual reality simulation as a key part of the development of the 1600kW fresher trawler.

Its onboard systems are designed for low emissions and fuel consumption, alongside efficient performance and higher levels of comfort for the 30 crew on board.

Mackerel mayhem

Do the established members really want these argumentative teenagers tramping across their clean carpet in muddy trainers?

There’s a sense of déjà-vu about the latest mackerel agreement. Apart from the thumbs-up of the stock having been re-assessed and a healthy boost for next year’s fishery, an agreement that includes all parties remains out of reach.

There have been negotiations on the North Atlantic’s pelagic stocks in the past, with skilled, smart, highly-trained negotiators working at inter-government level to make the sums add up in spite of the conflicts and the entrenched positions. This is fish politics, and politics is supposedly the art of compromise – so the result is always going to be something second-best, an outcome that nobody’s happy with, but preferably not so unhappy that they’ll decline go along with it.

It doesn’t always work out. There have been occasions when parties have hurled their toys out of the pram and walked away, to return a year or three later to pick up where they left off.

It’s not that many years since mackerel appeared in Icelandic and Greenlandic waters as this highly migratory fish spread far beyond its usual stamping grounds. Science has struggled to keep up, and so has the management.

Currently three parties have an agreement, which leaves aside a share of the fishery for those outside the club. These nations consequently feel free to set their own quotas in line with their own conceptions of track records, attachment, etc, which – unsurprisingly – don’t fit neatly with the allowance set aside for them.

The fact that a sensible agreement can’t be reached that could bring Iceland, Greenland and Russia into the fold appears, to any outsider, as quite bizarre. After all, these are civilised western nations with long traditions of trade, negotiation, compromise and agreement behind them.

The question remains as to whether or not these newcomers are genuinely interested in being condescended to by the old-school members, or if they’re happy to remain mackerel ronin for as long as it suits them; and do the established members really want these argumentative teenagers tramping across their clean carpet in muddy trainers? To complicate matters even more, before long the UK as a freshly-minted independent coastal state is going to be knocking on the door for a seat of its own at the table.

What could be a game-changer is the decision by the MSC to not reinstate certification for mackerel that was withdrawn earlier this year. It’s nothing to do with the state of the stock, and it has been made plain that it’s the shortfall in sensible management that has resulted in this outcome.

It’s the equivalent of knocking squabbling heads together and telling them to play sensibly – and with rising sea temperatures and fish stocks moving with alarming rapidity, there’s every chance we’re going to see a lot more such problems looking for solutions.

BRIEFS Brim scoops environmental award 2019

AGREEMENT EXCLUDES ICELAND, GREENLAND AND RUSSIA

This year’s Environmental Award of the Confederation of Icelandic Enterprises was presented to fishing company Brim by President of Iceland, Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, and it was accepted by the company’s CEO Guðmundur Kristjánsson.

KFO CEO Seán O’Donoghue commented that it is a relief that Coastal States have listened to the concerns of the KFO and other organisations, adding that he had expressed these concerns regularly in numerous fora regarding the lack of quality assurance in the ICES assessment process.

Seán O’Donoghue said he fully agreed with the criticism levelled at Iceland, Russia and Greenland at the meeting by the EU, Norway and the Faroes for their decisions

to increase their unilateral quotas for mackerel for 2019.

Iceland increased its mackerel TAC this year from 107,000 tonnes to 140,000 tonnes.

He commented that as a result, the share of the Icelandic unilateral quota has effectively increased to 21.50% of the overall TAC, and he stated that since 2014, Iceland has had an average unilateral TAC of 16.50% – well in excess of the amount set aside for the three parties outside the

8 The MSC has so far declined to reinstate certification for North East Atlantic mackerel, regardless of the revised stock estimates

agreement, namely Iceland, Russia and Greenland. Seán O’Donoghue said that it is not acceptable that Iceland, Russia and Greenland act in such irresponsible manner and put the sustainability of the healthy mackerel stock in jeopardy, adding that an appropriate set of actions must be put in place to stop this continuing.

MSC STANDS FIRM ON MACKEREL CERTIFICATION In spite of the latest evidence indicating a healthy stock, and despite the industry’s hopes, the Marine Stewardship Council has reiterated its position that certificates for North East Atlantic mackerel will not be reinstated.

The decision, which was determined by several teams of independent auditors, reflects the lack of comprehensive international agreement on quotas, threatening the long-term sustainability of the fishery. While there is an increase in the estimated stock level of mackerel, the absence of a long-term management plan, combined with a lack of international agreement on stock allocation, has led to an

overall uptake above the catch level recommended by International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES).

“While the most recent scientific advice places the mackerel stock within safe biological limits, the ongoing dispute over quota allocations has led to catches repeatedly above the scientific advice. This, coupled with the lack of effective management, has led to the continued suspension of the fishery certificates,” explained MSC North Europe Director, Hans Nieuwenhuis.

In September 2018, ICES warned that the NEA mackerel stock had shrunk below a sustainable level. The 2018

assessment, together with the absence of an agreed management plan among all mackerel catching nations, resulted in suspension of MSC certificates on 2nd March 2019.

“It is vital that the fishing nations make real progress on effective adoption and implementation of a long-term management plan to ensure a sustainable future for this important species. Over the coming year, the independent auditors will continue to monitor the fisheries’ progress and I hope that we will see a successful agreement and adoption of a coherent and robust fisheries management plan, followed by the reinstatement of these certificates.”

INSIGHT The Future of Fishing

THE CLOCK IS TICKING ON SUBSIDY ACTION A new scientific study detailing the continued escalation of ‘harmful’ fisheries subsidies has cranked up the pressure on world leaders to deliver reform, writes Jason Holland

8 According to professor in interdisciplinary ocean and fisheries economics Rashid Sumaila, the proportion of harmful subsidies went up in 2018 compared to 2009

The World Trade Organisation (WTO) has just a few months to fulfil its longstanding mandate to deliver binding rules that prohibit certain forms of fisheries subsidies deemed to be damaging to fish stocks. But with the international trade body’s Director-General Roberto Azevêdo reminding the 164 member governments that the world is watching and looking for meaningful outcome, a new scientific study has found that the fisheries subsidies widely regarded as being responsible for many destructive fishing practices have actually gained more ground in the last decade.

UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 14.6 calls for prohibiting certain forms of fisheries subsidies by 2020, specifically those that contribute to overcapacity and overfishing, eliminating subsidies that contribute to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and refraining from introducing new such subsidies. Consequently, at the 2017 WTO Ministerial Decision on Fisheries Subsidies, member nations agreed to engage constructively in fisheries subsidies talks, with a view to adopting an agreement by the end of 2019.

Now, with this deadline looming large, the new paper, ‘Updated estimates and analysis of global fisheries subsidies’, compiled by researchers at the University of British Columbia and published in Marine Policy, finds that at US$22.2 billion in 2018, the value of harmful capacity-enhancing fisheries subsidies has increased as a proportion of global fisheries subsidies (valued at $35.4 billion). It identifies that fuel subsidies are the largest type of subsidy at 22% of the total, adding that this is not good news as it is the subsidy most directly linked to overfishing as more fuel means more boats out on the ocean for longer, fishing more.

Lead author and professor in interdisciplinary ocean and fisheries economics, Rashid Sumaila, told WF that the most telling result of the study is that the proportion of harmful subsidies went up in 2018 compared to 2009.

6 | NOVEMBER 2019

“This is hugely disappointing given the considerable efforts put in by various parties to protect the world’s fish and fisheries from the harm caused by harmful subsidies in the last decade,” he said.

UNEVEN PLAYING FIELDS According to the study, which surveyed 152 countries, the most significant change is seen in Africa, where between 2009 and 2018 fisheries subsidies increased by 101% or $1.1 billion, with capacity-enhancing subsidies increasing by 121% or $800 million. Furthermore, in the South, Central America and Caribbean region, there has been a reduction of 25% in beneficial subsidies, but an increase of 33% in the capacityenhancing subsidies.

The top five subsidising entities are China, the European Union, the United States, the Republic of Korea and Japan, which collectively contribute 58% or $20.5 billion of the total estimated subsidies. The authors also state that there has been a recent push by both the EU and the United States to reintroduce capacity-enhancing subsidies, while Asia (including China) is by far the leading subsidising region with 55% of the total. Europe follows with 18%.

Japan and the EU each provide more than $2 billion in capacity-enhancing subsidies to their fleets, with the paper identifying that these are two important fishing states particularly when it comes to distant water and high seas fishing. Meanwhile, most subsidies provided by China and Korea are classified as capacity-enhancing subsidies.

Sumaila said that there are “no big surprises” in terms of the main sources of subsidy funding: For EU countries, it is coming from EU, national and local government budgets; for developed countries and China, the subsidies come from domestic sources; and for developing countries, it’s a combination of domestic and international sources.

INSIGHT

He added that it was also clear from the research that with 86% of the estimated subsidies going to the large-scale operations, local fishers and coastal fishing communities are being overlooked by their governments.

“Science tells us that the world needs to redouble its efforts to secure a WTO agreement to eliminate harmful subsidies that drives overfishing and illegal fishing. Governments should instead redirect public funds towards supporting activities that benefit the billions of people who depend on seafood for their nutrition and livelihoods. Removing overfishing subsidies is urgently needed not only because they catalyse the depletion of marine resources but also because they threaten the success of the UN Sustainable Development Goals by aggravating food insecurity, increasing poverty and gender inequality.”

PRIORITISING OCEAN HEALTH Ideally, Rachid Sumaila wants the WTO to agree to take out and/or redirect all current capacity enhancing subsidies, i.e. those subsidies that reduce fishing cost such as fuel and also those that artificially increase fishing revenues, and he said that this will automatically include subsidies to vessels engaging in IUU fishing. At a minimum, he would want to see stipulations equivalent to those in the original Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement.

“At the moment it does not look like enough progress has been made to get an agreement approved. But, there [is] still hope, because I believe big movements can be achieved as the deadline approaches.”

Isabel Jarrett, manager for The Pew Charitable Trusts, which commissioned the study, insists that after years of talks,

governments must come together and demonstrate to the world that they can deliver an outcome of global significance “before it is too late”.

She said, “Ending harmful fisheries subsidies is potentially the single greatest action that governments can take to restore the health of the ocean.”

Applying further pressure for subsidy action, Sir David Attenborough has sent a video message to the WTO in which he outlines “an achievable vision for a healthy ocean with fish stocks recovered, monitored wisely, fished sustainably, and feeding many more people than they do now”.

Produced in collaboration with the World Economic Forum and WWF, the broadcaster and naturalist’s message warns that nations are standing in their own way by paying “huge sums of public money to keep damaging and destructive fishing activities afloat”, and highlights that government subsidies are keeping fishing boats fishing, even when there are too few fish left for fishing to be profitable.

“These subsidies create tensions between fishermen and nations and they also fund the ongoing destruction of the natural world on which we all depend. But all is not lost. We can turn this around right now,” he said. “The WTO has previously negotiated global rules for government subsidies to industry and farming. Now it’s time to put an end to subsidies that harm our oceans too.”

With the WTO talks at a critical stage, Attenborough acknowledged that reaching the right deal might not be an easy task, but that it is still a deal that’s within reach.

“We must seize this opportunity and act now to ensure a healthier future for each and every one of us, forever,” he said.

ANALYSIS

ARGENTINE RED SHRIMP PRODUCERS EXPECT TO SEE MARKET RECOVERY After two years of heavy production, the international markets for Argentine red shrimp now seem to be overloaded and the prices are continually going down, reports Eduardo Campos Lima

8 Argentina has seen several years in a row of large volume red shrimp landings

All the same, Argentinian exporters are optimistic and hope to see the situation stabilising soon, given their biggest buyers – Europe, China and Japan – have to prepare for their annual holidays in December and January.

“We know the stocks in Japan are almost liquidated at this point. China has to start buying soon, given that the Chinese New Year (January 25th) is the most important commercial date for the Argentine red shrimp,” argued Pablo Basso, sales director at Iberconsa Argentina.

“As soon as this movement begins, the Argentinian inventories will not last too long, because our freezing capacities are not that massive – and the prices will soon normalise,” he said.

Argentina has seen a row of large-volume landing years for red shrimp, with total production of 230,000 tonnes in 2017 and 250,000 tonnes in 2018. In 2019, to an equally big amount were added 14,000 tonnes caught in a fishing area in the northern part off the Argentinian coast, a region which traditionally produced no more than 5000 tonnes per year, according to Federico Angeleri, commercial director at Grupo Veraz.

“This made the situation a bit worse, because most international markets still had inventories from the previous seasons. The unusual production scared the importers and the sales stopped,” Federico Angeleri confirmed.

Another element in the price crisis and low sales scenario is the rise of production of Ecuadorian whiteleg shrimp. In Federico Angeleri’s opinion, even though the two species occupy different spaces in the international market, the 8 | NOVEMBER 2019

Ecuadorian product may have a negative effect on the behavior of the Argentine red shrimp prices.

“There was an overproduction of vannamei in the last few years and its prices have fallen everywhere. This works almost as an excuse to drop the Argentine red shrimp prices too,” he said.

The trade dispute between the United States and China also contributed to the red shrimp crisis in Argentina.

“The business was developed in Argentina by Spanish companies and this used to be a premium product with a small market. But ten years ago production exploded and it became a commodity like any other – and commodities are subject to international fluctuations,” Federico Angeleri commented.

ANALYSIS

In 2018, class L1 whole shrimps were sold for US$7.50/kg.

Now, prices are already down to US$6.40. Class C1 tails (frozen onboard) also fell from US$9.90/kg, in 2018, to a current level of US$8.85.

With continually falling prices, a speculative trend began, stressed Iberconsa’s Pablo Basso.

“People stopped buying in order to wait for possible lower prices. It’s almost a psychological effect of the economic problem,” he explained.

But he doesn’t believe such a scenario can last much longer, considering the fact that inventories aren’t big in Asia or in Europe.

A partial solution would be the end of the Brazilian embargo on Argentine red shrimp, announced in June, after six years of blocked sales.

“Initially we were told we had full authorisation to export our products, but then we heard the Brazilian decision included only peeled and deveined shrimp. So, nobody dared to do anything yet,” explained Federico Angeleri.

According to Pablo Basso, the Brazilian market would not be able to solve the current problems of the Argentinian exporters, but the new sales would certainly help.

“We had been working on this matter for several years,” he said.

Argentina and Brazil are neighbors and share the exactly same fishing seasons, so a partnership would be natural, he added.

“We know Brazil has an unsatisfied demand. It would be good news for everybody,” he said.

For Eduardo Boiero, president of CAPeCA, a major organisation of fishing vessel owners in Argentina, the inventories problem

will not be solved soon, as it requires redefinitions in the business model as a whole.

“If the next seasons bring the same kind of volume of Argentine red shrimp we had in the past few years, we’ll have to review a few elements of the business, with all parts involved,” he declared.

According to Eduardo Boiero, the private sector in Argentina has been advocating for years the idea of elaborating and implementing a plan of integral management of the red shrimp production, in order to avoid this kind of unbalance. “We’ll keep following the same path,” he said.

TRAWL GEAR

IBERCISA’S SKIPPER’S MATES AT WORK ON THE FISHING GROUNDS Earlier this year three technicians from Ibercisa Deck Machinery went to sea with America’s Finest to optimise and adjust the trawl winches supplied to the new trawler owned by Fishermen’s Finest

8 Shooting away on board America’s Finest. The Ibercisa team spent time on board to help the skipper and crew get the maximum benefit from the electric winch system

“This is more than just commissioning,”, said Javier Díaz Vizcaya, one of the engineer in Ibercisa’s Technology & Solutions department. He is one of the Skipper’s Mates, the company’s team of specialists in a role set up by the company to assist skippers and crews in getting the maximum benefit from the systems the company supplies – in this case a set of electrical winches with energy regeneration capacity.

Ibercisa sent a team of three around the world to Alaska to join America’s Finest in Alaska. Javier Díaz, Víctor Carpintero and Óscar Piñeiro spent time on board the 79.80 metre trawler built at Dakota Creek Industries in Anacortes WA for Fishermen’s Finest. America’s Finest is based in Dutch Harbor, the main US port for fresh fish that handles 353,000 tonnes of fish worth $474 million in 2015.

“Our task consisted of assisting the skipper and the crew. We carried out training, made the necessary adjustments – and we saw the work that the ship does,” Javier Díaz explained, adding that initially this was done over two days during sea trials, followed up with remote support. This was in turn followed by Ibercisa’s staff spending time on board during fishing operations over several trips, aiming to achieve maximum efficiency while fishing for yellowtail and Alaska pollock.

According to Javier Díaz, the trawler’s skipper had asked for the Ibercisa team to spend time on board America’s Finest.

10 | NOVEMBER 2019

“He preferred it like that, he felt safer. For him the equipment supplied by Ibercisa was totally new, because he was accustomed to older and less sophisticated winches,” he explained.

“The skipper felt more comfortable having somebody to respond to any operational questions, so that the maintenance crew, the engine room team and others knew exactly what they had to do to avoid problems during fishing.”

The visit to Alaska was just one of the many trips that Ibercisa’s engineers make around the world, to the Falklands, Namibia, the North Sea, Russia or the NAFO zone – but the trip to Alaska was much more of an extended stay than they are used to. He explained that once on board they live and work alongside the crew, always in the wheelhouse with the skipper while fishing. Most of the activity was during the skipper’s twelve-hour shift in charge, but they were always on call for the chief officers at other times.

“Although every fishing vessel seems the same, each has its own way of operating. The crew has its way of working and we try to adapt our equipment to their style,” Javier Díaz said, commenting that in this case the adaptation was straightforward as the crew of America’s Finest made the transition from working with conventional hydraulic to the new electric winch system – and this presented no serious problems.

“The crew is very well trained. On other boats things can be For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

different, but it always works out in the end,” he said, adding that adapting to a new technology is a question of time, and of matching the technology’s potential to the skills and experience of the skipper. He commented that there was a clear difference between the first and second visits to America’s Finest.

“The winches were in full use and catches were improving,” he said, comparing the second trip to the first few weeks.

“When we left, the winches were working at their optimum level, and they haven’t stopped fishing since we left the ship.”

TAKING SERVICE FURTHER Javier Díaz and his colleagues see this kind of service as becoming increasingly important as technology becomes more sophisticated and efficient.

“Ultimately, it’s about control,” he said. “Learning to manage new technology is essential. You can have all of the technology in the world on board. But if you don’t know how to use it, you won’t achieve anything,” he said.

At the same time, being able to work with the winches under operational conditions also presents the Ibercisa engineers with learning opportunities.

“It’s positive to spend time on board, so we can make practical use of what we have seen. It’s fundamental for us to really know the operation and how the skipper works, so that we know how to make the adjustments and what kind of problems can occur,” he explained. It is also essential in case the owner orders a new set of winches for another vessel, as part of the work has been done already – but not all of it.

“Even between two vessels from the same company, there would definitely be configuration differences,” he said. “Every skipper has his personal way of doing things.”

FULL PACKAGE Ibercisa delivered a full package of equipment for the Skipsteknisk-designed America’s Finest, built to an ST-116XL design at Dakota Creek Industries. This included the trawl winches and autotrawl control system, as well as net drums, sweepline winches, gilsons, codend winches, netsounder

winches, a number of auxiliary winches and the anchor and mooring winches.

America’s Finest became the most controversial fishing vessel in the US fleet when its delivery was held up for more than a year after an infringement of the US Jones Act came to light, as a larger proportion of imported steel in the hull construction than allowable had been used. The situation was resolved after a lengthy legal process and an exemption granted by the US senate.

America’s Finest has attracted attention in Dutch Harbor, partly due to the tortuous process leading up to delivery, but also because this is the most modern vessel in the fleet, leading the way in terms of sustainability and efficiency – which includes the electric winches supplied by Ibercisa.

“It’s big news in the area because the fleet here is very old.

The industry has been waiting for this,” Javier Díaz said.

TRAWL GEAR

KLEIFABERG’S HEMMER A HIT FOR EVERY FISHERY “It’s an all-round, low-maintenance trawl that catches well,” said Kleifaberg’s Víðir Jónsson, describing the T90 Hemmer trawl used on board for fishery they take part in Kleifaberg is one of Iceland’s oldest factory trawlers and the success that Viðir Jónsson and has crew have achieved is remarkable. For the eighth year in a row they are looking at a catch of between 10,000 and 12,000 tonnes. Anyone could assume that this kind of success lies in generous quotas and access to plenty of cod, but according to Viðir, it’s not that simple.

“Our main species is saithe, caught on home grounds. We don’t have a great deal of cod quota in Icelandic waters, although we catch a decent amount of cod in the Barents Sea,” he said.

The first Hemmer trawl was delivered to Kleifaberg in 2008, supplied by master netmaker Hermann H Guðmundsson and his team at Hampiðjan Akureyri.

“This was a 480 mesh trawl that fits our towing power. As this is a T90 trawl, I recall that the boys on deck weren’t happy with it to begin with. They thought that everything was wrong, and that’s no surprise considering the meshes are turned 90° to the direction everyone is used to. It took a while for them to get used to this, but the crew stopped complaining a long time ago.

There’s very little repair work needed to this trawl, and there’s practically no work on deck around it.”

He said that they have two trawls on deck ready to use and alongside the Hemmer trawl they have a Bacalao 612 trawl.

“We use the Hemmer trawl on all our target species and the trawl sits well on the bottom. It has performed extremely well on redfish, especially on deeper fishing grounds. It’s lighter to tow that the Bacalao gear and as I said, there’s hardly any maintenance needed,” he said and commented that he and the crew are satisfied with this gear and work on the principle that if something works, there’s no need to change it.

“We’ve been using the same doors for a decade and a half.

These are Thyborøn doors, and are 3700kg, as far as I recall.

The main thing is that we’ve figured out what works for us and if we need new doors, I order the same as we had last time. The trawl and the doors are right for each other and that works for us,” Viðir Jónsson said, adding that he keeps to the sweepline length they are used to.

SHORT SWEEPS, HEAVY HOPPERS “We probably have the shortest sweeps in the fleet at 110 metres and these have served us well. It doesn’t matter how deep we are towing, the sweepline length stays the same,” he said, commenting that like other skippers towing on a variety of fishing grounds and under changing conditions, he uses rockhopper footropes.

“We have heavy ground gear and my experience is that the heavier the rockhoppers are, the better they work,” he said.

“We have also been working with a 155mm T90 codend from Hampiðjan rigged on DynIce QuickLines, and this looks promising. We have used this codend for haddock on shallow grounds in home waters. The conclusion was that we managed to lose all the smaller haddock and were left with the fish that are ideal for production. We’ve also been using this 155mm codend for fishing cod in the Barents Sea. The results there were also very good. The smaller fish are separated out, leaving the best, large fish.”

He commented that hauls vary in size, but everything is tailored to keep production steady.

“We can process around 50 tonnes green weight of redfish in 24 hours, and something more than that when we’re fishing for saithe. So it’s all right to get the occasional large haul of saithe, as long as the factory deck can cope with it,” Viðir Jónsson said.

TRAWL GEAR

With pelagic and semi-pelagic trawl door designs available, Icelandic trawl door manufacturer EKKÓ is seeing a growing interest in the advantages its gear offers, according to Smári Jósafatsson.

The company’s doors have already been supplied to trawlers in Iceland, Sweden and the UK, and he commented that while the company’s doors catch as well or better than comparable designs on the market, they have resulted in some serious fuel savings.

“The results have been almost unbelievable,” he said. “It’s almost too good to be true.”

The unique point of the design is that the doors provide the option of a conventional backstrop attachment on the backside of each door, but also allow for the backstrops to be rigged to the same side as the towing point. The result of this is that the angle of attack while towing is reduced to only 15°, making them even lighter to tow.

An additional feature is the hatch in each door, allowing the doors to be easily weighted.

“Open the hatch, and you can drop a length of chain inside the door to add weight. Just tie a rope to the end of the chain and hook it to a cleat by the hatch and the chain can easily be removed to lighten the doors again. It doesn’t have to be exact, but if the same length of chain goes into each door, then the weights are equal each side,” he explained.

EKKÓ DOORS MAKE A SPLASH

He added that EKKÓ doors are built with an exceptionally robust construction, with the upper and lower sections joined with a heavy-duty central section that provides this high strength.

BAADER: A CENTURY OF TECHNOLOGY One of the industry’s famous names has celebrated a century that has seen the company weather enormous changes to remain among the top tier of suppliers to the fish processing industry

8 The latest generation of Baader processing equipment incorporates extensive digital technology

Times were hard as the First World War came to an end, and the city of Lübeck had been through many hardships. At the time, fish was a vital food resource, although production conditions were extremely harsh compared to today’s standards. A day after his 34th birthday, on 29th of July 1919, Lübeck businessman Rudolph Max Joseph Baader signed his new company Nordischer Maschinenbau Rud. Baader, Lübeck onto the commercial register, and the company we know today simply as Baader came into existence.

His aim was to develop a machine that would carry out fish processing tasks that were otherwise done by hand, and when the Baader 450, built to head and fillet herring, was presented at the Lübeck Fish Fair in 1922, it attracted interest – and was also pelted with stones by fish workers who saw it as a threat to their livelihoods.

Rudolph Baader didn’t have an easy time of it to begin with, but the machine caught on and the increase in processing capacity resulted in a greater availability and demand for fish, to the point that the industry could no longer manage without his machine – and by the mid-1920s his company began opening offices abroad.

The outbreak of the Second World War was a turning point, as by this time there were Baader machines in use in Russia, Africa and even as far away as the Pacific – but the war brought the company’s international business to a halt. At the same 14 | NOVEMBER 2019

time, there was a shortage of manpower as young men were required for the military or for armaments production, and Baader had no choice but to turn over part of its capacity to producing aircraft components. As the war ended Baader’s focus immediately returned to fish processing equipment.

INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION The Baader 99, capable of filleting whitefish between 50 and 120cm, became the company’s star product, fitted on many factory trawlers as processing at sea took off during the 1950s, and the company continued to grow in the years after Rudolf Georg Theodor Baader took over the reins from his father. He took the company to a new purpose-built factory outside Lübeck in 1959, and expanded in new directions with equipment for processing poultry during the 1960s.

By now Baader had again become a highly international company with its equipment in use around the world, and following the end of the Soviet Union, Baader was one of the first to become a co-operative partner in a venture in Russia with Baader-Vostok-Service, established in Vladivostok.

In 1995 Petra Baader took over the company at a difficult time, just as Russia was in crisis and deliveries to that market had ground to a halt, and as restricted fish quotas had depressed demand for equipment. At that time aquaculture was still in its infancy, and she was faced with some tough For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

DIGITAL FUTURE Today, Petra Baader is confidently confronting the challenges brought by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Besides driving the company’s transformation from a machine manufacturer to a full-service partner for manufacturers all over the world, she is also an active advocate of digitalisation. Thanks to her vision, a special digitalisation section was set up at Baader back in 2017 and this ever-growing department has been working with external partners on innovations along the entire food value chain ever since.

The mission is to drive innovation along a digitalised and transparent value chain based on partnership. This is being done with the aim of supplying a growing global population with safe, sustainable and high-quality food, while setting new standards in animal welfare, maximum utilisation of resources and sustainability.

“Baader is the main initiator and mentor of a new, unique Food Value Chain Network. This is a rapidly growing, interdisciplinary community made up of trustworthy partners.

Besides all of the economic possibilities, they primarily concentrate on two things: people and the planet,” she said.

ETHICAL VALUES “The community represents a new way of thinking within the industry and shares the same ethical values. The aim is to share data and knowledge and work together to improve the way in which food is perceived, produced, distributed and consumed.

decisions. She decided to invest in expansion in the USA and ramped up activities in the poultry sector. Baader was able to occupy a leading market position following the purchase of Johnson Food Equipment in the USA in 1997. The acquisition of Linco Food Systems A/S in 2007 further strengthened Baader’s market position, especially in Central and South America as well as Asia.

At the turn of the millennium, business was also good in Norway, especially in salmon processing. The Baader 142 in particular generated a real boom from the mid-1990s with its automated princess cut which gets the most out of the fish, and Norwegian salmon producers were able to process many more fish than previously.

In 2012 Baader acquired Stavanger company Trio Food Processing, a specialist in skinning machinery and pin boning equipment. These machines permit the production of fully boneless and skinless salmon fillets with a longer shelf life, and the acquisition of Seafood Innovations in Australia in 2013 brought with it unique techniques for gentle and humane stunning and killing methods. significantly boost innovation along the existing food value chain and remodel the future of food.”

Petra Baader explained that cameras and diagnostic radiology are key components of modern food processing, and processing fish and poultry is complex, as equipment has to cope with various sizes and species of fish.

“Digital options such as data collection and new algorithms allow for digital learning. This makes the processing of raw materials even more precise. In addition, we can collect and analyse the data that our machines provide in order to generate real added value for us and our customers,” she said.

“Cloud technology is an important building block for future solutions along the supply chain from the farm to the end user.

We have a cloud-based platform that allows us to process all available data to gain the best results for our customers and the end user. We can significantly support the process of resource reduction as well as the process of quality improvement. A supply chain is not to be understood as a oneway street, but rather as a network in which a variety of data relating to the Internet of Food flow.”

“I am convinced that many of today’s business models will look different in the future or simply no longer exist at all,” she said.

“We are focused on our tasks and have a clear idea of where we should be heading and where our potential lies.

Digitalisation plays an important role here. We must combine digital data with human creativity, verifiable facts and visionary ideas, challenges and demands so that we are in a position to utilise and drive forward innovation along the entire food value chain and beyond.”

With a background in specialised slurry ice machines for the fishing industry, Icelandic company Thor Ice sidestepped into the meat business, coming up with some highly innovative systems to meet an extremely demanding industry’s needs – and is now bringing these advanced machines to fishing and aquaculture for the first time.

According to Birgir Jósafatsson, Thor Ice Chilling Solutions is introducing its new line of energy efficient ice slurry machines to fishing and aquaculture, and their experience in the meat industry has helped them come up with ice machines that use less energy than ever, as well as requiring a very modest amount of onboard space.

“There’s a lot of variety in what we have been working on” he said.

“We can use the machines both as traditional slurry machines to chill on board, but also we can also shoot semi-dried ice slurry onto fish fillets using a patented IceGun system.”

We are back in the fish business again, and we see that there’s a requirement for this precise, sophisticated approach to slurry ice production that Thor Ice Chilling Solutions is able to offer This technology calls for some very precise handling and management of ice production that far exceeds the seafood sector’s needs – but this experience has given Thor Ice a significant edge and this expertise is already paying off for its customers in the fishing sector.

ENERGY EFFICIENT SLURRY ICE FROM THOR ICE

“Ice for fish handling is less complex, as the ice is in a liquid form,” he said. “But the experience we have from the meat industry means that we have gained a new level of skills in managing thickness and volume in ice production, paving the way for less electrical consumption on-board. Recently we produced a mobile slurry ice system for MOWI, which is a self-contained unit mounted in a container. This is used in the Faroes to provide ice at a number of locations where salmon is slaughtered.”

He explained that the control functions, which convinced MOWI to come to them for the mobile system, allows the thickness of the slurry ice to be controlled as it emerges from

the machine and also in the tank. A new tankthickening system controls the thickness in the tank and in the discharge. Energy is saved throughout the process and drained ice slurry is reused in the machines.

The new line of slurry ice machines is designed for fishing vessels, fish processing and fish farms, offering new possibilities and some distinct advantages over earlier machines.

“What is also new about these machines is a unique function allowing connection to the onboard electrical supply in the fishing vessel, with the production capacity of the machine co-ordinated against the supply and demand of power produced on board. This is the Ice-onDemand capability,” Birgir Jósafatsson said.

These new machines have a small footprint, with the largest in the series needing only 75cm, measured from the bulkhead.

“These machines have a smaller space requirement relative to their production capacity and the Ice-on-Demand function means that capacity can range from 25 to 100%, making the most efficient use of the slurry generators to minimise their energy requirement,” he said.

The range is ambitious, providing everything from compact units to meet modest production needs of as little as 50 litres/hour, all the way up to industrial ammonia-based systems with a daily production capacity of several hundred tonnes.

“We are back in the fish business again, and we see that there’s a requirement for this precise, sophisticated approach to slurry ice production that Thor Ice Chilling Solutions is able to offer.”

PIONEERING TECH TO IMPROVE ARTEMIA PRODUCTION

Photo: Danny Willems

INVE Aquaculture's latest technologies aim to further improve the production of Artemia cysts and maintain product quality, reports Bonnie Waycott

Since its development from the Artemia Reference Center, a spinoff of Ghent University, Benchmark's advanced nutrition division INVE Aquaculture has been working with entrepreneurs, researchers and institutions worldwide to develop specialty products and drive successful innovation in aquaculture.

One fundamental part of the division's success is the commercialisation of Artemia cysts, which are well known as a primary feed for the larval stages of various shrimp and fish species. They are also vital for hatcheries to achieve robust juvenile production. In order to ensure quality and meet productivity and biosecurity standards, INVE Aquaculture uses a series of patented technologies to transform regular Artemia cysts into a product with additional features and characteristics.

One such technology, SEP-Art, has been available for some time and works by providing a coating on the cysts, adding a new, unique feature to the shell and completely separating the nauplii from the shell with a set of passive magnets that do not require any input power. This results in the suspension of pure, clean, active nauplii with no shell material.

"Our expertise and knowledge on Artemia began more than 30 years ago when we developed, for the first time, the use of Artemia as live feed and the concept of bioencapsulation," said Alessandro Moretti, Segment Director Larval fish at INVE Aquaculture. "Artemia cyst production is crucial in today's aquaculture. Artemia is almost mandatory for both shrimp and fish production, and the production of post larvae or fish larvae correlates directly with the use of good quality Artemia as the first feeding."

Now, in addition to SEP-Art, INVE Aquaculture has announced two new lines to its set of Artemia technologies – SMArt and DFENSE. Through their launch, the company's aim is to further improve the use of Artemia in larvae production and to play an even greater role in better hatchery performance.

18 | NOVEMBER 2019

8 Artemia, non-graded, Italy

Artemia is a natural product the potential of which in hatcheries depends on a wide array of factors such as storage, hatching techniques and conditions, human skill and critical environmental parameters. Although the hatching of small quantities of Artemia cysts is very simple, these factors need to be taken into consideration for the successful hatching of large quantities of cysts. Performance is likely to be variable and suboptimal when standard Artemia cysts are used, so applying specific technology on standard Artemia cysts has allowed INVE to develop products that are easier to handle, simplifying the Artemia protocols in hatcheries as some of these critical factors determining the potential of the product become less important to manage. At the same time, it also becomes possible for producers to optimise its use.

TAKING ARTEMIA TO THE NEXT LEVEL SMArt and D-FENSE were each developed with this in mind.

Both are applied to the cysts and provide specific results on the hatching efficiency (dependence of light becomes redundant) and hatchery biosecurity (reduced bacterial growth during hatching). The technologies are stand-alone options but are also compatible – one or more technologies can be applied simultaneously, generating synergistic benefits.

"One of the main concerns in achieving a consistent Artemia output is the cysts' sensitivity to external factors like storage, light and temperature," said Alessandro Moretti.

"SMArt is known as Sensitivity Modified Artemia. It allows Artemia cysts to hatch perfectly at suboptimal light conditions, avoiding decreased hatching performance due to lower light exposure. D-FENSE is a form of built-in protection for the best hatchery biosecurity. It's an additional process to the Artemia cysts and forms a specific coating that suppresses the growth For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

of pathogenic bacteria such as Vibrio sp during the hatching of the cysts. This results in better larval survival and reduced contamination risks."

Achieving a standardised, consistent Artemia output has a dramatic effect on hatchery management as it optimises the use of Artemia (live feed quality and quantity) and contributes to improved hatchery economics. Predictable Artemia production also directly affects larval production thanks to a consistent feeding protocol. With diseases one of the most frequent causes of culture collapses, biosecurity is also fundamental for all hatcheries and basic for larval rearing.

Implementing correct biosecurity protocols is critical, as this directly affects hatchery success and larval quality.

"The SEP-Art and SMArt Technologies are directly linked with consistency, because they guarantee the perfect separation and optimal hatching under suboptimal conditions of illumination respectively," he said.

"They allow for the standardisation of the hatching process.

SEP-Art is also able to avoid the dangerous process of decapsulation. This makes Artemia production much safer for humans and for the environment. D-FENSE strongly reduces or even suppresses Vibrio development during the hatching process. Vibrio is considered one of the main causes of early larval mortalities or crashes."

As it's considered indispensable for the larviculture of marine fish and shrimp, Artemia is likely to remain a fundamental pillar for the growth of global aquaculture going forward. INVE Aquaculture's other key goal is to continue to make its use as simple as possible, while enhancing its intrinsic potential.

Changing Artemia from a commodity into a product was the

company's first challenge. Today, it's convinced that the future development of more new technologies will further allow Artemia's optimized use to improve. Meanwhile, feedback from customers has also been positive.

"Our customers are enthusiastic about SEP-Art and have also given D-FENSE a very warm welcome," Alessandro Moretti said.

"Designed to meet customers' needs, we are sure that SMArt will also be very well received."

SEP-Art is available for most of INVE's Artemia brands. DFENSE was released recently, while SMArt is still in the launching phase. The availability of D-FENSE and SMArt will be different per region, depending on the registrations.

MPI RAMPS UP CAGE CLEANING TECHNOLOGY Norwegian company MPI (Multi Pump Innovation) knew it had an exciting new product on its hands with its new JetMaster It was only when the prototype went on show at the AquaNor exhibition at Trondheim that they realised what this technology means for the aquaculture industry worldwide.

Already established over the past decade with the RONC system, which was followed by the very popular RaceMaster in recent years, the development of the JetMaster is he result of MPI’s strong belief in investment in research and development.

While the introduction less than two years ago of the RaceMaster, a remote-controlled robot with the capability to completely clean a fish farm cage and remove all marine growth, has been a success, the new JetMaster offers further potential while giving customers more choice in selecting which model suits their individual needs best.

The main difference between RaceMaster and the new JetMaster is that the latter requires no belts to climb along the meshes of the cage and a series of electro magnetic rim thrusters keep the robot in place while it cleans away the marine growth. A further benefit of the JetMaster is that the rim thrusters are easier to maintain compared to traditional thrusters as they only require a change of bearings every 1000 hrs (which can easily be done by the operator at the vessel) and this is the only maintenance that is needed to run it for up to 15,000 hours.

According to MPI’s CEO Kåre Myrvåg, the JetMaster has been a major technology leap and something the aquaculture industry had been crying out for.

“Certainly having a cleaning robot that requires no climbing belts will be an attractive option for some customers but for us at MPI it’s the innovation of having electro-magnetic rim thrusters and going from hydraulics to electro-magnetics that is the exciting part of this project,” he explained.

While the use of thrusters is nothing new, the decision to use rim thrusters, with the blades attached to the rim of the nozzle instead of to a centre core as in a propeller, means that the actual centre of the thruster is clear with much less chance of blocks occurring due to debris or ropes becoming entangled.

“For JetMaster users, despite each thruster deploying the equivalent of 54 kilos of water pressure, the total power requirement of 17kW is very manageable for any farm site

vessel and with this new model consisting of far fewer moving parts, worktime will be increased while maintenance requirements, such as belt replacements, will decrease,” he added, commenting that the power requirements for JetMaster is already proving to be a big attraction for customers as the thruster jets do not need to be driven at full pressure to complete its task of cleaning the cages efficiently.

As with the RaceMaster joining the RONC system, and now the JetMaster adding to the range of products, MPI have no intention of resting on their laurels and, despite the JetMaster prototype still at the trials stage, the company’s research and development department is already at work on the next stage of development.

“This is a competitive business and naturally everyone wants to be leading the market. We are of course keen to not just stay ahead in the field, but we want to be able to provide the industry with the best possible technology,” Kåre Myrvåg said.

“Our focus for the immediate future will be the addition of a collection system so that when our robots are blowing marine debris and growth off the cages, we can have a suction system to return this debris to the farm vessel and thereby remove it completely from the site. We don’t just want to give our customers a suction system and then leave them with the problem of debris sitting on their fish farm vessel – we want to give them a turnkey solution that will deal with this issue completely. I see it as our task at MPI to offer fish farmers solutions and not additional problems.”

Worldfeeds has launched Vita Aqua Feeds (VAF), a range of unique feed products targeted at one of salmon farming’s biggest issues – the control of sea lice.

Designed specifically for lumpfish and wrasse, the elongated feed blocks are produced using the company’s own technology with a cold-extrusion process to produce soft, malleable blocks that are highly digestible and attractive to cleaner fish.

Crucially, as the blocks maintain integrity in water for up to 24 hours, they encourage and facilitate natural grazing behaviour, allowing the larger fish to satiate before the smaller fish take their turn. This subsequently leads to reduced aggression during feeding. VAF blocks are complete diets and require no refrigeration or mixing and have a two-year shelf life, massively reducing storage costs and preparation time.

During extensive trials with Loch Duart in Scotland and GIFAS in Norway, the VAF blocks maintained stable and controlled growth rates, negating the symptoms of artificially high growth rates. At the end of the trial period, there was a 77% reduction in cataract prevalence in lumpfish when compared against those fed a pelleted diet.

To complement the feed blocks, Worldfeeds has developed feeding stations designed for practicality and to maximise efficiency. The VAF

UK FISH FOOD COMPANY ENTERS GLOBAL AQUACULTURE INDUSTRY horizontally as required and floats back to the surface once the block has been consumed.

Looking to the future, the company’s Automatic Deployment Station (ADS) is in the final stages of development. This buoyant dispensing system is designed to deliver a complete and balanced feed block diet over longer periods with minimal supervision and maintenance. The apparatus itself will also have almost limitless potential for operational data collection and research applications.

RUSSIAN AQUACULTURE, BACK ON TRACK Russian fish farming company Russian Aquaculture is back on its feet after a series of devastating salmon louse outbreaks nearly wrecked its salmon business in 2015, reports Vladislav Vorotnikov

8 Russian Aquaculture has resumed its activities in northern waters

The Karelia-based company saw its financial performance booming in the first half of the year as salmon facilities in the Barents Sea were finally brought back into operation. Russian Aquaculture boosted sales to 9600 tonnes in the first half of 2019, up from only 800 tonnes during the same period of the previous year. This secured a 16-fold hike in revenue, jumping to Rub4.9bn ($74 million), as well as boosting net profits to Rub1bn ($15 million).

Russian Aquaculture runs two different business sectors, with salmon and sea trout farming in the Barents Sea in Russia’s Murmansk region, and the commercial farming of trout and production of red caviar in the lakes of the Republic of Karelia.

It had been reported that the company owned salmon and trout cultivation rights for 30 sites with a potential production volume of 50,000 tonnes, but a few years ago had to adjust its expansion plans due to what can be described as “a series of unfortunate events.”

The 2015 the company was hit by a perfect storm. First fire destroyed a Russian Aquaculture fish processing plant in northern Russia, with a loss of RUB1.5 billion (US$27 million) in investment. A further Rub327 million ($5.5 million) of direct losses were suffered as the company lost nearly 1 million salmon units due to the salmon louse outbreaks.

Prior to 2015, Russian Aquaculture was engaged in importing and distributing of Norwegian salmon in Russia. However, the food embargo introduced by the Russian federal government in August 2014 barred access to the market for all food 22 | NOVEMBER 2019

products from the European Union, and so this part of business was adversely affected – although not lost completely, as Russian Aquaculture shifted to importing fish from some Asian countries and the Faroe Islands.

Taking all this into account, it’s no surprise that Russian Aquaculture suffered a net loss of Rub325 million ($5.5 million) in the first half of 2015 – probably the darkest hour for the company.

In 2016, Russian Aquaculture saw its first profit in three years, and in December 2017, it went on an SPO on the Moscow Stock Exchange, floating 8.33 million new shares at Rub 120 ($1.9) each.

This helped the company to attract about Rub 1.6bn ($25 million) in order to support further investment. However, this was significantly lower than had been initially expected.

A WAY ON TOP In a view of the outbreak and due to the need to take drastic action, Russian Aquaculture took the tough decision to not populate its cages with fish in 2016, but to focus on internal efficiency and to streamline the supply chain instead, according to Ilya Sosnov, general director of Russian Aquaculture. Special attention has been paid to protect salmon from lice, which, he commented is still “a number one challenge” for Russian aquaculture producers.

Over the last three years, Russian Aquaculture invested Rub500 million ($8 million) in enhancing protection at its salmon farms, and yet it would be wrong to say that the company is fully protected against lice, Ilya Sosnov admitted.

AQUACULTURE

Russian Aquaculture filled its cages in Murmansk region with salmon in 2017, allowing the company to begin its first harvest for several years in August 2018. This extended over eleven months and with three generations of fish on its farms today, the company is again able to be optimistic.

In 2017, Russian Aquaculture purchased Olden Oppdrettsanlegg AS and Villa Smolt, both smolt production facilities in Norway. The main purpose of those deals was “to cut both operating costs and biological risks,” Ilya Sosnov commented.

Olden Oppdrettsanlegg AS is able to manufacture 2 million smolts annually, while Villa Smolt produces 5 million smolt every year. Russian Aquaculture has a long history of importing salmon smolt from Norway, as in 2016 the company imported 4 million Norwegian salmon smolts. However, the company’s long-term development strategy set out plans for it to become self-sufficient in smolt production.

Prior to the crisis, Russian Aquaculture had announced plans to build one more smolt facility in Russia with a planned annual production capacity of 12 million smolts, plus a large-scale feed production site with a production capacity of around 80,000 tonnes per year. The overall investment value of these ventures was estimated at Rub 13bn ($200 million) – but the series of setbacks the company experienced meant that ambitious plans had to be shelved.

This year Russian Aquaculture plans to produce up to 20,000 tonnes of salmon while a stable cash flow has enabled the company to invest into expanding its capacity to reach a 30,000–35,000 tonne annual production by 2025, Ilya Sosnov stated this summer.

A FISHY BUSINESS To achieve this expansion strategy Russian Aquaculture needs more broodstock. As of today, the company spends Rub700 million ($10.5 million) every year to import smolts from Europe,

and Ilya Sosnov said that the anticipated increase in production could push this figure up to Rub2 bn ($31 million).

In order to become self-sufficient in smolt production, Russian Aquaculture plans to invest Rub 3.5bn ($52 million) in the next few years, starting with a Rub2.5 billion ($41 million) investment in a new smolt facility in Murmansk Oblast capable of producing 5 million smolts every year. The Norwegian-based AKVA Group has been chosen as a technology supplier for the project – although contracts are yet to be signed.

In addition, Russian Aquaculture plans to invest Rub900 million ($13 million) into modernising Villa Smolt in Norway. This project should provide the company with several million salmon smolts per year. Altogether, the company needs 12 million broodstock units for its salmon business to become fully self-sufficient.

In a statement in 2017 Russian Aquaculture reported that it was purchasing smolt plants in Norway parrtly to get access to advanced technologies needed to build its own plant in Russia. Importing salmon smolt from Norway is still believed to be an issue, since all import supplies are subject to an import duty in Russia.

Overall sales on the Russian salmon market were estimated at Rub 50bn ($800 million) in 2018. The growth of this market is still gaining momentum, Ilya Sosnov said, adding that the company expects demand to grow in the coming years.

The average price for salmon in Moscow starts from Rub570 ($9) per kg, while salmon fillet fetches around Rub1350 ($20) per kg.

Over the past twelve months, the average salmon price in Russia jumped by 100%, commented Alexander Saveliev, chairman of the Russian Fisheries Information Agency. In the coming months, the average price could rise another 25% to 30%, he added. There is a clear shortage of fish in Russia, since imports from the European Union remain blocked and there are logistics issues to delivering fish from the Russian Far East to the European part of the country.

KONGSBERG-DESIGNED TRAWLERS LAUNCHED IN SPAIN Following the delivery of Qajaq Trawl’s Markus earlier this year, the CNP Freire shipyard in Vigo has delivered sister vessel Polar Nattoralik to Polar Seafood The two dedicated trawlers for these Greenlandic owners are dedicated shrimp trawlers with factory decks consisting of both IQF and automated horizontal plate freezers to provide a processing capacity of around 150 tonnes per day.

Polar Nattoralik was christened at a ceremony in Vigo in September and as sea trials were complete, sailed for Greenland with a call at Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands to collect its full package of Vónin fishing gear.

Trawl doors are a 16m2 pair of Rock Sea Hunters and a 14.50m2 pair of Vónin Storm doors. Vónin supplied the roller clump and a full set of three 3800 mesh Vónin 2014 trawls and a single 4400 mesh Vóin 2014 trawl, as well as bridles, codends, selectivity grids and spare parts.

The 80.80 metre LOA, 17 metre beam Polar Nattoralik began life as an NVC 375 design by Rolls-Royce, which has since become part of Kongsberg.

In addition to the design work, there is a great deal of RollsRoyce technology on board. This includes Rolls-Royce’s 5400kW, nine-cylinder Bergen B33/45L9P main engine and Promas propulsion system, integrating the propeller, hubcap, rudder bulb and the rudder itself into a single hydrodynamic efficient unit.

The propulsion package also includes a Hybrid Shaft Generator. This is an advanced power system that enables a highly flexible use of engine and propeller speed variations to maximise both propeller and engine efficiencies, which helps to reduce exhaust CO2 and NOx emissions.

As well as the 3300kW PTI/PTO shaft generator, Polar Nattoralik has a pair of 1843kW RRM C25:33L6A2 auxiliary engines. Additional auxiliaries are a 910kW Mitsubishi S12RMPTAW and a 250kW Volvo Penta D13MG emergency set.

Deck equipment consists of low-pressure hydraulic main winches with electric auxiliary winches.

The new Sunderøy has a 77.30 metre overall length and a 17 metre beam, and is designed to operate in the Barents Sea and Svalbard areas of the Arctic, with capacity for both whitefish and shrimp. It has accommodation for a crew of up to 29.

The new trawler will have a highly sophisticated processing and freezing deck, with a 2250 cubic metre fishroom and capacity to produce fishmeal and fish oil on board.

Sunderøy has sophisticated Rolls-Royce propulsion, with a 7200kW, 12-cylinder Bergen B33:45 main engine, plus 1920kW Bergen C25:33L6A and 505kW auxiliary sets. It will also have a Hybrid Shaft Generator (PTO, 2950kW / PTI, 2000kW) , as well as a 350kW battery energy storage capacity. Rolls-Royce will also supply the AC electrical winches.

FACTORY TRAWLER LAUNCH AT GONDAN The Gondan shipyard at Figueras in Spain has floated off a new factory trawler. Designed by Kongsberg, the new trawler will be the yard’s second delivery to Norwegian company Prestfjord AS when it is delivered next year.
