MSC SUSPENDS PELAGIC CERTIFICATES

ANALYSIS

CFP Review: Fisheries at a crossroads? page 10

FISHING TECHNOLOGY

The Marine Stewardship Council has announced the suspension as of 30th December of eight certificates for North Atlantic blue whiting and Atlanto-Scandian herring fisheries, stating that management measures fall short of the requirements for sustainable fisheries.

The suspension affects fisheries from the European Union, Norway, Iceland, Russia, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, plus the United Kingdom, which claims independent coastal state status in 2020. From 30th December 2020, Atlanto-Scandian herring and blue whiting caught on or after that date cannot be sold as MSC certified or bear the blue MSC label.

The reason given for the fisheries’ suspension

8 MSC certification for Atlanto-Scandian herring and blue whiting fisheries is suspended from 30th December

is the lack of an international agreement on how to manage catch levels between different nations. The absence of an effective stock management – in particular, a quota sharing agreement between the involved nations in line with scientific advice – has led to the combined catch exceeding the recommended catch levels for a number of years.

“We urge nations to commit to a quota-sharing agreement in line with the scientific advice,” said the MSC’s Northern Europe Director, Erin Priddle.

BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO ITALY’S FISHING FLEET One of the world’s largest shipbuilders, Ficantieri, and Italian fishing industry association Federpesca have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, with the intention of reviving Italy’s fishing fleet, and drawing on the fishing industry expertise of Ficantieri subsidiary Vard.

Fincantieri takes the project leader role in the venture, which will also be open to other selected industry sectors. The Group aims to identify fishing vessel standards specifically for the Italian fishing sector, and making full use of the extensive experience of its Vard subsidiary in Norway in building specialised vessels, with the focus on decarbonisation and digitalisation.

“A national strategy for the coming decades is needed to encourage the upgrade of the Italian fishing fleet, making the fishing sector more attractive to young people,” commented Federpesca’s President Luigi Giannini.

The challenge remains of how to manage these shared fish stocks that so inconveniently fail to respect the arbitrary borders that humans draw on charts

Sharing out the pelagic pie

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

The suspension of MSC certification comes as another kick in the teeth at the end of a year that hasn’t been an easy one, on top of the uncertainty of Brexit and – as WF&A goes to press – the outcome of four years of wrangling between the EU and the UK that appears to still be no clearer than it was the day after Brits voted to leave the club.

In the context of Brexit and the arrival of a new independent coastal state looking to negotiate over migrating pelagic stocks, it was always going to be a forlorn hope that the reality would bring catch levels into line with ICES advice. The coastal states had already agreed to follow the scientific advice – but when it comes to figuring out who takes an actual hit, then it’s a different matter. Nobody’s keen to go home to have to justify what might be seen as a bad deal, especially when there are so many other uncertainties in the air.

There are some far-reaching implications to all this, not least for the aquaculture sector that had bought so emphatically into whole chain certification. There’s likely to be a shortfall in the availability of feed produced from MSC certified raw material as a million tonnes of blue whiting will no longer carry the blue tick, and the ructions could continue down the chain to the retailers who also enthusiastically championed eco-labelled products.

Just as it’s not hard to understand the lack of movement by the coastal states, the MSC’s frustration is also understandable. What has saved the situation – to some extent – is the robustness of these fisheries, which also calls into question how much effect fishing actually has on these very large fish stocks.

The challenge remains of how to manage these shared fish stocks that so inconveniently fail to respect the arbitrary borders that humans draw on charts, and that’s maybe the crux of the matter; trying to manage a shared resource against the obstacle of national flags, each with its own interests at stake.

Against the backdrop of Brexit and the arrival of another coastal entity determined to stake its claim to a slice of the this particular pie, it doesn’t look encouraging.

If these well-governed, civilised nation states around the North Atlantic with long traditions of democracy and accountability can’t figure out a formula to share out fishing rights – can other parts of the world be expected to get it right, and what kind of example is being set?

As Federpesca (the Italian National Association of Fishing Enterprises) and shipbuilding giant Ficantieri join forces to renew Italy’s fishing fleet, Federpesca’s role is promote and support the project by representing fishing enterprises, as well as being involved in setting out the technical specifications required by the sector, co-ordinating suggestions and requests from the industry, and taking the lead in identifying new potential markets in the Mediterranean area.

The MoU has been signed against a backdrop of an Italian fleet that has dwindled significantly over the past decades. It currently consists of

roughly 12,000 trawlers, accounting for 17% of the EU fleet and employing 25,000 people. In addition, the Italian fleet lags behind among EU nations where there is a growing per capita seafood consumption. Average vessel age is 31 years.

A major upgrade of the fishing fleet is seen as essential to bridge the gaps that prevent domestic demand being met, and in terms of factors affecting the environment, the quality and cost of production, onboard working and safety conditions, and the competitiveness and sustainability of the entire system.

“This agreement is the best demonstration of Fincantieri’s great capability to transfer

8 Federpesca and Ficantieri executives met to sign the Memorandum of Understanding

technology from one type of vessel to another, altering the newest construction solutions to suit – in this case – the size of the coastal and Mediterranean fishing,” Fincantieri CEO Giuseppe Bono commented.

“In the challenging task of developing the economy of the sea, renewing the fleet and reviving the fishing industry are goals of national importance.

We are proud to be at the helm of this project, thus confirming that our Group is engaged nationwide at every socio-economic level.”

STRATEGY FOR ENGLISH AQUACULTURE A comprehensive strategy outlining a plan for growth across the English aquaculture sector has been released by Seafood 2040.

The strategy has been developed by Poseidon Aquatic Resource Management and industry representatives on the Seafood 2040 Aquaculture Leadership Group. It provides a plan for the sustainable development of English aquaculture over the next 20 years, supporting a ten-fold increase in production to approximately 90,000 tonnes by 2040.

Dr Neil Auchterlonie, chair of Seafood 2040, called the work “much needed and long overdue.”

“The relevance and importance of increasing domestic food production and employment opportunities in the more fragile rural economies will be appreciated by all during a current period of uncertainty underlined by the double impacts of Covid-19 and Brexit,” he said.

The strategy recognises a need for clear leadership and effective collaboration between industry and regulators. Three documents have been published – a brief overview of key strategic

principles and objectives, a summary document highlighting the opportunities and growth aspirations alongside a plan for delivery and the full report which also includes a review of English aquaculture and current barriers to growth.

Seafood 2040 is an Englandfocused strategic programme, facilitated by Seafish in partnership with Defra and industry partners. The publication of the strategy aligns England with the other devolved administrations, which already have published aquaculture development plans.

INDUSTRY NEWS In 2019, Atlanto-Scandian herring fisheries collectively caught 32% more than the scientific advice for the year. The MSC’s Erin Priddle commented that following the catch quotas announced by the individual states, the same pattern will be followed in 2020.

Atlanto-Scandian herring fisheries account for landings of between 600,000 and 700,000 tonnes annually, around 50% of the total MSC-certified herring catches landed each year. MSC labelled herring is sold to consumers via supermarkets and fishmongers throughout Europe.

Blue whiting catches fisheries are predominantly used to produce fishmeal for farmed salmon, with a small quantity processed as surimi for consumers in Japan, Australia and France.

“Only through effective stock management can we ensure the health of the herring and blue whiting stocks in the short, medium and long term,” Erin Priddle said.

“While individual fisheries often

make great efforts to improve their sustainability, ultimately, they cannot do it alone. Migratory species like Atlanto-Scandian herring do not observe national boundaries, so we need international agreements to manage whole ecosystems in an adaptive, scientific way, rather than managing fish resources

8 First mackerel and now Atlanto-Scandian herring and blue whiting fisheries are no longer MSC certified

based on national interest. The annual meeting of the Northeast Atlantic Coastal States held in October 2020 did not reach a solution to this stock management problem.”

According to the MSC, independent assessors identified the absence of a quota-sharing system as a threat to the health of the stock and conditions were stipulated in 2015 for nations to reach an agreement by 2020 for continued MSC certification. This provided a five-year window for the issue to be addressed, but due to a lack of progress on this condition, the fisheries are now having their MSC certificates suspended.

For the same reason MSC certified mackerel fisheries in the Northeast Atlantic were suspended in 2019 and have not yet been reinstated due to ongoing concern about how catch is managed in response to scientific data on stock levels and inability to agree a quota share arrangement between the relevant fishing states.

GADUS OPTS FOR GADUS PORTIONING SYSTEM

Belgian fish processor Gadus has concluded an agreement with Icelandic high-tech developer Valka for a new cutting system to portion salmon and whitefish fillets.

The new Valka system is expected to significantly enhance Gadus’ flexibility in multi-species processing. With this technology, Gadus will be able to focus more on product development with their partners and offer many new portion types to the market.

“This plays a key role in our transformation plans and our ability to secure long-term contracts with our retail partners.

Also, it is great to see that the teams have been working together in a very efficient way despite the Covid 19 situation. A big thank you to the Valka team for their great collaboration and effort,” said Gadus CEO Philip Duyck.

Gadus has recently responded to changing market demands by embarking on a transformation process and articulating a long-term company vision,

With its new portioning system, Gadus will further strengthen that bond by moving closer to

consumers and offering products they demand.

product types that would be difficult or impossible to produce otherwise. The new system can cut any angled or curved pattern, optimising the use of each fish. In addition to cutting several fixed-weight retail portions from a salmon fillet, the system can simultaneously cut numerous small, cubed poke portions from the belly and tail parts. Previous systems could only cut parallel lines.

“Gadus delivers only the best products from select raw materials, and we are proud to play a part in that,” said Valka area sales manager Daniel Niddam.

ANALYSIS

2022 CFP REVIEW: FISHERIES AT A CROSSROADS?

By December 31, 2022, the Commission is required to report to the Parliament and the Council on the implementation of the CFP, writes Brian O’Riordan, executive secretary of LIFE Platform

8 The CFP is not working for small-scale fisheries, according to LIFE Platform

This is a legal requirement arising from the need to review the derogation to the principle of equal access. Are fisheries at a crossroads?

This derogation is embodied in the rules that restrict access in the 12-mile zones of Member States to ‘traditional’ fishing activities; it provides a once-in-a-decade opportunity to review the CFP, take stock and make recommendations.

Unlike in 1992, 2002 and 2012 however, no actual reform is envisaged for 2022. With notable exceptions (the Mediterranean, Baltic Sea, North Sea cod), there are positive signs as regards the status of stocks and the status of the fish economy. Thanks to higher fish prices, lower fuel costs and recovering stocks, the European fishing sector is making record profits overall.

The Commission report will coincide with the entry into force of the new European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF). The appearance of the ‘aquaculture’ for the first time in the title of the new regulation is a sign of a shifting policy focus away from fisheries as the main source of marine food production to aquaculture.

A central element of the EMFAF is the Blue Economy, which includes non-food sectors such as ocean energy, seabed mining, marine biotechnology and coastal tourism.

These sectors will compete for both space and resources

10 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2021

with the fisheries sector, and it is likely that energy generating installations will be established in many fishing areas.

There is a risk that blue economy, including aquaculture development will be at the expense of fisheries development.

PRODUCTIVITY TO CONSERVATION With the shifting focus of fisheries policy away from productivity increases towards conservation and environmental protection, the social dimension of fisheries has been neglected. Social issues will need to be given greater attention in the coming period if the fishing sector is to be sustained.

In general, working conditions have fallen behind compared to other sectors. The adoption and entry into force of the ILO Work in Fishing Convention (C.188) should foster improvements in at-sea working conditions on larger vessels.

To what extent such improvements can be supported through the EMFAF remains a contentious issue however, as such improvements may also contribute to increased fishing capacity of the fleet.

But the ILO C.188 will not resolve the issue of generational renewal, and the problem of low recruitment of new entrants into the fishing profession. Many fleet segments have become reliant on migrant workers, including from Asia, Africa and Latin America.

ANALYSIS

‘‘

The fisheries sector is not an attractive prospect for the younger generation in today’s world, and this needs to change Simply put, the fisheries sector is not an attractive prospect for the younger generation in today’s world, and this needs to change.

WOMEN IN FISHERIES Another area of neglect has been the important role that women play in sustaining the fisheries sector. Women are found throughout the value chain, with a predominance in the shore-based processing sector.

Their contribution however to small-scale family businesses – often in the form of unpaid labour – has passed under the CFP radar.

Employment statistics are often blind to gender differences in the fisheries sector, largely due to women’s work being considered as informal and unpaid (for example as shellfish gatherers, or as ‘helpers’ and co-workers in their family businesses). This means that the work of women often goes unrecognised, disrespected and poorly rewarded.

At the end of February this year, just ahead of the United Nations Day for Women’s Rights (March 8th) the Low Impact Fishers of Europe (LIFE) and the Aktea launched an initiative to draw attention to this, and to lobby for space in the 2022 review of the CFP to be given to the role women in fisheries sector.

The European Commissioner for the Environment, Ocean and Fisheries sent a video address to the meeting which gathered 40 women from 9 EU Member States.

NEGLECT OF INSHORE FISHERS Another important area of neglect is the small-scale fishing sector (vessels under 12 metres deploying non-towed gear).

Although this represents by far the largest fleet segment, it has experienced the sharpest decline in recent years, and shows a relatively poor economic performance.

LIFE was launched on the eve of the reformed 2014 CFP to rectify these historic wrongs suffered by the small-scale fleet, and to open the eyes of policymakers to the potential of small-scale low impact fishery activities to achieve the wider social, environmental and economic sustainability goals.

Six years on however, it is clear that the 2014 CFP is not

working for small-scale fisheries. The sector has not benefited from the same rights of access to resources (allocation of quotas), access to markets (support to set up Producer Organisations) and wider opportunities (access to finance, to information, to training and to the decision-making processes that affect them) as larger scale fleets.

Unlike larger-scale companies, small-scale fishing companies do not generate sufficient revenues to employ dedicated lobbyists. To attend meetings where decisions are taken, small scale fishers must sacrifice their daily earnings with no possibility for compensation.

To draw attention to these failings, LIFE wrote to the Members of the Pech Committee of the European Parliament, who responded by organising an exchange of views in early December with the European Commission.

One of the main conclusions was that Article 17 of the CFP is not fit for purpose. This requires that Member States use ‘transparent and objective criteria including those of an environmental, social and economic nature’ to allocate the fishing opportunities assigned to them.

If fishing is to survive, the CFP needs to pay greater attention to the social dimension, and to place less emphasis on technological development and productivity.

The future of fishing

A GREEN FARMING OPPORTUNITY EMERGES FROM THE BLUE Shifting attitudes and new tech have made Europe’s seaweed sector ripe for dramatic expansion, writes Jason Holland

8 Seaweed farming requires no fresh water, fertilisers or chemical treatments, and does not need to answer questions about escapes, waste or the reliance on other fisheries for feeds

Over the past decade or so, and on a fairly regular basis, seaweed has been touted as the next big superfood for the European market. Rich in minerals and vitamins and high in protein, amino and fatty acids, many of these microalgae boast a nutritional profile well suited to all those people across the bloc wanting to adhere to healthy diets and lifestyles. Indeed, as a food, they have enjoyed some incremental success in recent years, particularly through their application in Asian-style cuisine, but a new report shows that there’s a lot more to seaweed than a good food choice, and also so much more that its production can bring to Europe economically and environmentally.

According to “Hidden Champion of the Ocean: Seaweed as a Growth Engine for a Sustainable European Future” a dynamic and expanded seaweed industry could be worth as much as €9.3 billion (US$11 billion) by 2030 to the region.

Compiled by the Seaweed for Europe Coalition, which is headed by certified B corporation Systemiq and co-chaired by former EU Fisheries Commissioner Maria Damanaki, Maren Hjorth Bauer (Founder of Fynd Ocean Ventures), and Vidar Helgesen (the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Special Envoy for the Ocean), the report also estimates that in this expansion process, some 115,000 new jobs could be created.

If realised, that would make seaweed production a larger employer than Europe’s entire aquaculture sector.

Aside from feeding humans and also livestock through

12 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2021

animal feeds, the report highlights that technological advancements have led seaweed to be increasingly used across the cosmetics, bio-packaging, and pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. It also points to possible future applications in sectors such as biofuels, textiles and green construction materials.

Adrien Vincent, Programme Director at Seaweed for Europe and Ocean Lead at Systemiq, told World Fishing & Aquaculture that the sector is building up a real head of steam, with more and more discussions ongoing about the potential contribution and value of seaweed to European society, and more players and initiatives coming to the fore.

“The realisation has come that seaweed offers much more than a sustainable food source for the European population.

While that used to be the mindset, we are seeing its increased application across so many different sectors and markets.

Perceptions are changing; people are taking notice of seaweed – they can see that it brings important new solutions.”

‘‘

The realisation has come that seaweed offers much more than a sustainable food source for the European population For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

INSIGHT Adrien Vincent explained that the coalition feels that conditions are sufficiently ripe to support the expansion of Europe’s seaweed farming industry.

The demand for high-quality, traceable seaweed is growing across the market, while the emergence of dynamic technology, and the growing appetite for innovation across Europe is making it an increasingly attractive landscape, he said, adding that seaweed production is also closely aligned with the EU Green Deal agenda.

GREEN CREDENTIALS Within the coalition’s European seaweed vision for the year 2030, animal feed supplements are projected to constitute the largest business segment, with a value of more than €2.2 billion (US$ 2.6 billion). It anticipates that this growth would be principally driven by the livestock feed additive sector (cattle, swine and poultry) on account of the health and yield benefits that seaweed supplements can offer these meat production systems.

The European food segment, meanwhile, is forecast to reach as much as €2.1 billion (US$2.5 billion) in the next ten years, driven by the two sub-segments of plant proteins and directly consumable seaweeds. Next, and in line with technological advances in processing and expected EU policy, the report suggests that the 2030 European market for seaweed-based bio-stimulants (plant growth enhancers) could eventually be worth €1.8 billion (US$ 2.1 billion).

If a poster child were required, Europe need not look any further than Asia, which today represents 99% of the world’s seaweed production. Nevertheless, the coalition estimates that with the right combination of investment, technology and policy, seaweed grown in Europe could account for around 30% of the European market in just ten years’ time.

This would entail its output increasing from its current 300,000 tonnes to about 8 million tonnes, with domestic production alone worth €2.7 billion (US$3.2 billion).

Beyond seaweed’s lucrative application across an evergrowing number of areas, the report outlines the multiple environmental benefits associated with growing these sea plants. As well as not requiring any freshwater, fertiliser or external inputs, seaweed farming contributes to overall ocean health by addressing acidification, while also preserving biodiversity through the provision of habitats and food for fish and other marine life.

At the aforementioned scale, production could remove up to 20,000 tonnes of nitrogen and 2000 tonnes of phosphorus from European waters annually. The coalition also calculates that an expanded European seaweed industry could offset greenhouse gas emissions of up to 800,000 Europeans per year in 2030.

Leveraging core strengths such as quality, traceability and innovation would provide a strong platform for European producers to grow and take a greater share of the domestic market. This has hooked the interest of policymakers, Adrien Vincent commented.

“DG MARE tells us that seaweed is definitely on their radar.

At high levels, there is much more thinking about this sector – both seaweed and land-based microalgae production – and its potential. We need to capitalise on this. For example, creating a strong voice for the industry so that it can better connect with European initiatives like the Farm to Fork Strategy,” he said.

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES While producing significantly larger volumes doesn’t pose too much of a physical challenge – the continent’s nutrientrich, cold waters are well suited for seaweed production, the

‘‘

DG MARE tells us that seaweed is definitely on their radar report acknowledges that the growth of Europe’s seaweed sector has to-date largely been hindered by such key challenges as complex licensing processes, a lack of costefficient technologies, industry infrastructures and value chain integration, as well as limited investment.

To resolve these barriers and to create the necessary preconditions for growth, Seaweed for Europe has compiled a 2020/2021 action programme, focusing on the following: 5 Optimise seaweed farms licensing process 5 Attract public and private investors to the seaweed space 5 Create a strong and collaborative stakeholder network 5 Establish robust safety standards and comprehensive certification system 5 Raise awareness on the benefits and potential of seaweed 5 Leverage science to accelerate innovation It has also identified that generating up to 8.3 million tonnes of European fresh-weight seaweed would require a farming space of some 27,300 hectares, comprising 26,300 hectares of marine farms and 1000 hectares of onshore systems.

Previously, such fundamental enablers, particularly those relating licensing, have been where such bold intentions have become derailed. The EU’s aquaculture industry, for example, has long-stagnated because of all the regulatory red tape that has blocked new licensing, access to appropriate waters, and subsequent investment.

But while there are parallels to be drawn between the two industries, particularly in terms of water access and licensing, Vincent believes that seaweed’s publicly greener perception probably stands it in better stead than fish farming.

“It doesn’t have to answer questions about fish escapes, the use of forage fish in feeds, waste etc. that make getting fish farming licenses a nightmare all over Europe. Seaweed production doesn’t have all those environmental challenges.

Seaweed is beneficial to the ecosystem and the environment as a whole – that message is out there, so our narrative is very different from aquaculture.”

That said, opportunities to explore synergies with aquaculture could increasingly arise, for instance, through sector coupling in the form of integrated multi-trophic aquaculture or multi-use scenarios. There is the potential for seaweed aquaculture to be integrated with fish and shellfish farms, leveraging existing licences and infrastructure, and capitalising on the symbiotic relationships between plant and fish, the report suggests.

For now, positive dialogue with European policymakers is ongoing. At the same time, the coalition and its report have received the support of Norway’s Prime Minister Erna Solberg, the United Nations Secretary General’s Special Envoy for the Ocean Peter Thomson, and European Commissioner for Science & Research and for the Environment Janez Potočnik to name but a few.

But for European seaweed farming to really start to bear fruit and live up to its full potential, the focus must be on progressing the action programme’s aforementioned priority areas, insists Vincent.

“It’s crucial that these are all addressed at the same time.

Tackling the licensing process before courting investors or leveraging new technologies will slow all that positive momentum. This is an opportunity not to be missed,” he said.

TURNING THE TIDE OF LOST LINES

A newcomer to the Patagonian toothfish industry is taking the initiative to recover and deliver lost fishing gear for disposal ashore, aiming to reclaim fishing grounds and reduce the impact on the marine ecosystem

“Our basic intention is to return more lines to shore than we lose at sea,” said Arne Birkeland, CEO of Norwegian-owned Pesquera Azul, now starting its operation in the Southern hemisphere from Uruguay.

“This means less plastic pollution in the ocean, but also better fishing conditions for everyone.”

Their new Ocean Azul, a former shellfish catcher that has been extensively remodelled and rebuilt to operate as a longliner, is being fitted with a Ghost Gear Cleaner to collect and store lost gear on board.

Ocean Azul is also working its own fishing gear with hooks and lines that have a higher-than-usual breaking strength, aiming to reduce breakage and loss of both gear and catch.

Arne Birkeland commented that lost gear is a serious issue facing the global fishing industry, not least in the Antarctic region where Ocean Azul will be working – where some of the most productive fishing grounds are scattered with lost gear to the extent that they are practically off-limits.

“For years the fleet has had to avoid these areas due to the risk of entanglement with ghost lines,” he said, commenting that now Pesquera Azul hopes to set a precedent that will encourage others to join in the cleanup effort.

SMALL COMPANY, BIG DIFFERENCE “They’re a new player in the region with only one vessel, but are taking responsibility from the start, and we were impressed by that,” said Joel Baziuk, deputy director of Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI), a non-profit organisation dedicated to the problem of lost, abandoned and otherwise discarded fishing gear worldwide.

Pesquera Azul recently joined GGGI, and their initiative has earned Joel Basiuk’s enthusiastic support, although he

acknowledges that limited space onboard puts fishermen in a dilemma.

“They could put retrieved gear in the hold, but that takes away space for fish. Retrofitting to make more storage space is another option, but it’s also money out of pocket for fishermen,” he said.

“They have shown that it is possible to make room for retrieval when planning a retrofit or a new vessel. This is a fantastic step forward for the effort to clean up ghost gear.”

“We knew it would be a challenge,” Arne Birkeland confirmed.

“It requires extra equipment and dedicating space on board, and there is an expense involved.”

At the same time, he points out that lost gear retrieval technology is fully proven and accessible, and reasonably affordable.

“We have made entire investment ourselves, and we hope this will convince others to consider the option.”

LOST LINES, LOST OPPORTUNITY According to Joel Baziuk, fishermen are aware that lost gear has an impact not just on the environment, but can also affect their livelihoods.

“This is generating a strong desire to contribute to the clean-up effort. Every fish lost to ghost gear could reproduce more fish, or be caught and sold. It doesn’t matter whose gear it was, once it is removed, fish stocks will rise and everyone will benefit. Ghost gear represents a threat to productivity, and less ghost gear means more fish for the industry,” he said.

GGGI is supported by 16 nations, with the United States joining in July 2020. Joel Baziuk believes that proactive policy is needed to support retrieval and delivery initiatives.

“There should be no cost for disposal, but this often

RIGHTS COME WITH RESPONSIBILITY “Those of us who make our living from the sea have to take responsibility and try to have a positive impact,” Arne Birkeland said.

“If we are given the right to fish, we must return the favour by showing respect for the marine environment. People need to see that the fishing industry is working for sustainability.”

In addition to Pesquera Azul’s investment, Ocean Azul’s crew will also be putting in time and effort.

“It takes time to haul ghost gear on board. Today, most fishermen will cut and release the gear. You have to be willing to do the work as well, but we believe this will pay off in the long run. Someone has to take the initiative to make changes.

It might cost more to begin with, but it is extremely important to step up and take responsibility, even if it requires investment on our part.”

According to GGGI’s Joel Baziuk, the aim is to make ghost gear retrieval standard operating procedure and to encourage

depends on the ports. They need to be able to offer receiving facilities where they are needed, and this will require a framework of regional, national, and local regulations working together.”

Arne Birkeland sees Pesquera Azul’s initiative as an important step toward establishing such measures.

“We will document delivery of old lines and use this as a basis for managing our own environmental footprint,” he said, pointing out that some ports in the region have infrastructure in place to handle disposal of retrieved lines, providing encouraging precedent.

more companies to incorporate this into their business model.

“Even without financial incentives, clearing fishing grounds will strengthen fish stock and improve fishing conditions, so the long-term incentive is there. Pesquera Azul’s example should serve to inspire others and show that it can be done.”

By investing its own time and money, Pesquera Azul hopes to punch above its weight in the effort to clean up lost lines.

“We’re a small company, but we are hoping to make a big difference here,” Arne Birkeland said.

“We are happy to be the first, and we hope others will follow.”

MUSTAD AUTOLINE SETS UP IN ICELAND

Photo: Mustad Autoline

Mustad Autoline has stepped up its presence on export markets with the establishment of its own company in Iceland

16 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2021

“This is our first time under the Mustad Autoline flag,” he said.

“For us this exhibition is important as it gives us an opportunity to meet satisfied customers and get their feedback – and that helps us to do better. Plus it provides a place to introduce innovations.”

He commented that the Mustad range of equipment, which has been strictly hydraulic in the past, is gradually being re-engineered so that the company can also offer electric versions of its systems, with an electric line hauler soon to be ready for testing.

According to Mustad Autoline, the establishment of its own subsidiary in Iceland is an important strategic investment as the company seeks to recruit highly competent and skilled people, as a route to expanding the product range and gaining a larger foothold in Iceland and Greenland.

Mustad Autoline has extensive experience in establishing subsidiaries and sales offices and are already present in Bellingham in the USA and St. Johns in Canada, as well as at Båtsfjord, Myre and Ålesund in Norway.

These are in addition to Mustad Autoline’s headquarters and production plant at Gjøvik in Norway and production plant in Latvia.

Mustad Autoline has opened its own branch in Iceland, based in the south coast port of Grindavík, and this move is designed to maintain close links with clients while strengthening the company’s presence in Iceland and Greenland.

Sigurður Óli Thórleifsson has been recruited from Ísfell, Mustad Autoline’s distributor in Iceland over the last five years, bringing with him extensive experience and a strong knowledge of the Mustad Autoline product range and market.

He joins the new company as a staff member and part owner representing Mustad Autoline in Iceland and Greenland.

Things are already busy for the new company, and in Iceland hand-baiting is gradually giving way as coastal longliner are increasingly switching to autolining.

“They have been doing this very successfully, and we have new deliveries coming up with both Trefjar and Viking building new coastal longliners with completion due shortly,” he said.

The new Icelandic branch is also serving the fleet in Greenland, where Sigurður Óli Thórleifsson sees scope for growth.

“There’s a similar development there with the coastal fleet becoming more automated, with a lot of interest from the West Greenland fishermen in Ilulissat and Nuuk,” he said.

The new company’s first complete new system to be delivered is to Greenlandic fisherman Jens Abbelsen, who has invested in a Handymag longline system.

“This is ideal for boats with limited deck space, as this uses one metre long magazines instead of the larger magazines the bigger longliners use. It’s a semi-manual system and he should be able to work 8000-12,000 hooks per day. That’s roughly normal for the Greenlandic coastal boats that like to fish around 8000 hooks. This is for both cod and Greenland halibut, and it works like a dream on both.”

Following the change of ownership, Mustad Autoline was quick to book its space at the 2021 IceFish exhibition, where the company has had a presence for many years, always represented by a local agent.

CARBON FOOTPRINT DATA FOR WILD-CAUGHT FISH

Some Icelandic fishing companies are preparing to provide information on the carbon footprint for wildly caught fish products. Providing this information allows a more holistic approach for consumers and businesses to assess the sustainability of seafood, according to Icelandic tech company Trackwell.

To achieve this, it has to be possible to measure the carbon footprint per trip, and eventually to get feedback to be able to act accordingly. A key factor is fuel, both as a contributor to carbon emissions and as an operating cost – making reducing fuel consumption beneficial to both the environment and the bottom line.

Hafsyn, developed by Trackwell, is working with many fishing operators in the NorthAtlantic, providing a system that tracks catch and fishing activity data collected by electronic logbooks. It monitors catch value along with the effort and cost by logging the speed, distance travelled, towing times, and fuel consumption per haul. This provides a correlation between fuel burned and catch to provide an analysis of actual benefits, plus carbon per kilogram of catch.

All this data from Hafsyn is accessible anywhere online, through a secured web portal, giving users access to historical data

and effective decision making, no matter where they are.

Iceland’s fishing industry is on track to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. In 1990, the industry was responsible for 19.5% of national emissions for carbon and methane, some of the main contributors to global

SIMRAD SONAR FOR PELAGIC TRAWLER ARTEMIS Kongsberg Maritime is supplying Simrad sonar equipment for a pelagic trawler under construction at Karstensen for Scottish fishing companies Northbay Fishing Co. and Wiseman Fishing Co The new vessel, Artemis BF-60, is scheduled for delivery in June 2022 and will be equipped with Simrad ST94, SN93 and CS90 fishfinding sonars, providing a range of omnidirectional and targeted fish location and tracking options across multiple frequencies.

“The owners of Artemis knew of Simrad products already, as they had deployed ES80 fishery echosounders and FS70 trawl sonar on previous vessels. After we presented the sonar portfolio they spoke to other vessel owners in Norway, Sweden and the UK and decided to order Simrad acoustic products for this new-build project,” said Andrew Masson, sales director at Simrad dealer Echomaster Marine.

“They were particularly impressed with reports about the ST90, SN90 and new CS90 broadband mid-frequency sonar.

The feedback from other vessel owners was that CS90 sonar is a leap forward in technology, compared to similar midfrequency sonar products they have previously deployed.”

Artemis will also be fitted with an ES80 split-beam echo sounder and fishfinder, FS70 third-wire trawl sonar to monitor net opening and fishing conditions, and the PX Multicatch

Fast Flow hits the spot on mackerel Designed to improve the quality of trawlcaught pelagic fish, the new Swan Fast Flow Codend has proved to be a major success for Swan Net Gundry.

The Swan Fast Flow Codend has been designed with the aim of increasing the volume within the codend, which leaves the catch less stressed and compacted.

The quality of the catch has been reported to be of an excellent standard, with sample fillets taken in the factories showing the fish to be very fresh, with blood spots in the flesh significantly reduced and with many catch landings reporting practically zero blood spots.

To accommodate the new Swan Fast Flow Codend, the new DynIce Handles system of handling the codend splitter ropes has been devised, eliminating the need for stainless steel rings. The benefits of this

system are it is lighter to handle, reduces constant wear, and it extends the working life of the splitter ropes.

Alongside its new concept codends, SNG’s Swan Guider trawl with its increased

herding capacity achieved by adding additional meshing to the side wing panels of the trawls, has been a significant success.

“We believe the Guider Trawl is a game changer for all sizes of vessels as it can even give a small trawl a much increased reach,” said chief gear designer Cathal Boyle, commenting that the trawl has returned excellent results on mackerel, horse mackerel, herring and albacore tuna.

The design team have built on the Guider trawl’s success by developing the GuiderPlus trawl. This works on the same concept, but its arrangement of eight instead of four bridles closes off the escape area to its furthest point in the sides of the trawl.

SNG have produced versions of this trawl both for single trawling and pair trawling, and older trawls of all types can be modified to the Guider system.

MALDIVES FISHERIES ADOPT FLEET ONE Inmarsat and Cobham SATCOM have been awarded a new contract to connect 732 fishing vessels in the Maldives EEZ to Inmarsat’s Fleet One maritime broadband services Cobham’s SAILOR Fleet One utilises the existing Inmarsat-4 satellite constellation to deliver the most reliable global voice calling and internet connectivity via a compact, lightweight antenna, and a simple installation process. The technology’s affordability makes it particularly accessible for smaller boats looking to access maritime satellite communications for the first time.

The five-year contract envisages the supply and maintenance of the VMS, to include Fleet One satellite communications over L-band from Inmarsat, airtime and secure communications server via Integrated Monitoring (IM) and SAILOR antennas from Cobham SATCOM installed by Ooredoo.

“The VMS project confirms the leadership role that the Maldives continues to play in sustainable fishing and in sustaining the blue economy long-term,” said Maldives Fisheries Minister Zaha Waheed. ”It puts the maritime broadband infrastructure in place to monitor and manage operations, but also to support the welfare of those working at sea. In doing so, we have chosen technology that is reliable, scalable, progressive, cost efficient and easy to use, and a group of partners with the track records to instil confidence. Successful implementation of the project would also mean that Maldives fulfil and go beyond the requirements established through the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC),” she said.

The go-ahead follows trials of Fleet One services and SAILOR Fleet One terminals from Cobham aboard 15 boats, confirming that performance exceeds specifications for a new vessel monitoring system (VMS) under the Maldives’ Sustainable Fisheries Resources Development Project to improve Monitoring, Control and Surveillance in fisheries sector. The VMS project, agreed between Maldives-based Ooredoo and the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture, is funded by the World Bank.

“We placed high importance in onboarding partners that share our values of bringing new socio-economic progress to societies through innovative technologies,” said Ooredoo Maldives CEO Najib Khan.

“The Fleet One Vessel Monitoring System ensures seamless monitoring of fishing vessels for owners and the regulator, and enables new opportunities for the crew, while assuring their safety onboard. We look forward to seeing the progression of the fisheries industry in the Maldives, supported by this project.”

Fisheries are an important economic activity in the Maldives, providing jobs to over 30% of the population.

Launched in 2017, the Sustainable Fisheries Resource Development Project was followed in 2019 by The Maldives Fisheries Act, which bans several forms of fishing gear, and envisages granting licenses only to vessels offering real time tracking and those that are registered in the Maldives. Fleet One will support electronic catch documentation and traceability (eCDT) to combat Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fishing. The Fisheries Act also formalises

fishermen entitlements to pensions, training and connectivity to emergency services.

Integrated Monitoring is also providing Monitor – a cloud hosted platform for GPS Tracking, Catch Reporting and Electronic Video Monitoring – to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries for use within their Fisheries Monitoring Center in Malé.

“The scope of this project will resonate wherever fisheries administrations seek progress on sustainability and crew welfare at scale and in an integrated way,” commented Integrated Monitoring’s CEO Jeff Douglas.

“Fleet One is over twenty times faster than traditional Vessel Monitoring Systems. For the first time, it will support crew chat, mobile banking and live video monitoring to the small and mid-sized fisheries segment.”

RESEARCH VESSEL’S REPOWER With twenty years of varied marine and fisheries research behind it, Oregon State University (OSU) looked to give its 16.5 by 5 metre (54 x 16.5 foot) Elakha a mid-life upgrade

8 Oregon State University’s research vessel Elakha has been repowered with a Cummins main engine during its mid-life refit

Elakha was built in 2001 at Rozema Boat Works of Mount Vernon Washington, with a typical forward wheelhouse west coast style fishing boat style. The existing 600hp CAT 3176 had given good service and one option during the evaluation process was a an engine rebuild.

“We contacted Scott Graff at Curry Marine,” said Elakha’s master Jeff Lawrence.

“In just a few short days Scott came up with a great package for our project that checked every box on our needs list. We decided to go with a new tier 3 Cummins QSM 11 610hp engine, A ZF360A 2.44:1 marine gear and Glendinning ECS controls.”

Elakha made its way up the Yaquina river to the Port of Toledo Boat Yard in Oregon to be hauled out and the re-power begun. A week later the old engine and gears were out, and work began on fitting the new equipment to the boat.

In the process of transitioning from the older Cat to a new Cummins there was plenty of fabrication that had to be done before the new QSM11 engine and the ZF gears could be installed. With the skilful hands of the yard’s mechanics, David Stoker and Ted Mandell, everything came together.

Among the major changes during the transition from a CAT engine to a Cummins were the motor mount locations and the line-up from the engine to the transmission.

“Almost immediately we faced a serious obstacle, the outbreak of Covid-19 at the start of our planned shipyard time period. Shortly after delivering Elakha to the Toledo shipyard, the pandemic was in full bloom, compounding the health hazard with federal and state reactions and safety guidelines. Logistics were severely hamstrung, personnel/ vendors were infinitely more difficult to find and line up, and operations in general came to a trudging crawl. The

20 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2021

pandemic added approximately ten weeks to our estimated timeline for completing the re-power. It is a testament to the determination of Toledo shipyard, Curry marine, and OSU Ship Operations that the project was completed at all.

Throughout the developing pandemic, progress did win the day,” Jeff Lawrence said.

“After the new engine and gears were installed, new fuel lines, raw water-cooling systems, muffler and exhaust all went in. In addition to these upgrades, new Glendinning ECS controls were installed as well as significant re-wiring from the engine to the engine brainbox, and up to the controls in the wheelhouse. With a good amount of assistance from Scott Hatfield from the shipyard, the Elakha crew removed all the old wiring for the CAT engine and ran new wiring for the Cummins engine.”

Elakha also received some dash control upgrades as well in the form of a more modern engine monitoring system with a more comprehensive assortment of readouts and information for the main engine.

“After the installations were complete, Elakha happily splashed back into the Yaquina river and we ran the engine at the dock all day without incident. With a few minor adjustments we were ready for sea trials which went remarkably well, the vessel performance was excellent and significantly surpassed our expectations. With a newly repowered vessel, significant upgrades and COVID-19 mitigation procedures firmly in place, we were ready to go back to work just in time to kick off the busy summer season,” he said, adding that the new Cummins engine provides more available power and speed, while also increasing fuel economy.

“That’s certainly not a common combination,” Jeff Lawrence said.

GREENER FISHING WITH RENEWED PROPULSION SYSTEM Norwegian fishing company Nordnesgruppen embarked on an extensive refit of its trawler/seiner Nordbas at Nye Kleven Verft in Ulsteinvik with the aim of making it the fleet’s greenest vessel

8 Nordnesgruppen’s Nordbas on the slipway at Nye Kleven Verft

Finnøy Gear & Propeller AS were selected to equip the ship with twin in-single out 2G60-80FP type gearbox in combination with a 3500mm diameter type P95 propeller and a fifth generation remote control adapted to the vessel’s operating profile.

“We consider it as a declaration of trust to have the opportunity to collaborate with Nordnesgruppen, Nye Kleven and Vegsund Slip in this unique green repower project. As a supplier, we are pleased that the shipowner that the choice has been made to use local expertise that helps to preserve and further develop the maritime industrial cluster at Sunnmøre”, said Finnøy Gear & Propeller’s marketing manager Norunn Finnøy.

Based on a comprehensive analysis of the vessel’s energy needs, the twin input-single output reduction gearbox was selected, given the variation of power requirements and strict requirements for operational safety.

The diesel engines have different power range (1326kW and 2653kW) and can be operated either separately or together. Excess power from the engines that is not used for propulsion, is transferred to the generator, which in turn charges the extensive battery bank on board.

Permanent magnet shaft generators are connected to the gearbox PTOs, which allows variable speeds on the main engines. The generator also functions as a quiet e-motor powered by the battery bank for peak shaving or to run the vessel on electric power only when the power demand from the propeller is low.

The fifth generation electronic remote-control system is designed for easy operation with six different operation modes.

These pre-sets include idle/start-up, harbour mode, seine netting/steaming, light trawl, heavy trawl and electric modes, which each vary the requirement for engine,

22 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2021

generator to be used. In electrical mode, the generator operates as an e-motor.

The installation of the twin in-single out gearbox in combination of battery technology for energy optimisation can be described as a reference point for the entire sector, Norunn Finnøy said.

“Finnøy Gear & Propeller’s first- hand expertise unites a flexible and reliable mechanical solution with green technology in the form of reduced fuel consumption. This, in conjunction with the shipowners further recycle choices and utilisation of residual raw material, will result in both environmental and operational benefits.”

The 60 metre LOA, 10 metre breadth seine netter/trawler Nordbas was built at Kleven in 1979. Its extensive rebuild at Nye Kleven Verft is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2020.

PRIMESERV UPGRADE SLASHES EMISSIONS

Photo: Ivan Ulsund Rederi

MAN Energy Solutions’ after-sales division, MAN PrimeServ, has completed the installation of a SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system to Norwegian company Ivan Ulsund Rederi’s Brusøyskjær.

According to PrimeServ, up to 90% of the Brusøyskjær’s NOx emissions can be reduced – starting from just 15% engine load, and it now operates with reduced NOx levels that surpass IMO Tier III standards, while its MAN 6L27/38 main engine’s fuel consumption has been reduced due to other improvements carried out during the refit.

This is due to the intelligent integration of the SCR into the vessel’s engine control system and combining it with sensors before and after the SCR reactor – such as the temperature control – to achieve an optimal emissions reduction.

The SCR can be operated in the engine operation area from 15-100% MCR, dispensing with the need for a cut-out. This facilitates a maximum reduction in NOx taxes for years to come. Many vessel operators – not just those based in Norway – currently benefit from incentive programmes to protect the environment. During the retrofit, the SCR system was combined with a Tier II upgrade for the engine, including the introduction of a variable frequency drive (VFD) mode, and an

upgrade of the Alphatronic 2000 remote control system that will cut fuel consumption by 150,000 litres of MGO annually.

PrimeServ reports that the upgrade will deliver savings of more than 475 tonnes of CO2 and 45 tonnes of NOx per year. In general, MAN’s SCR concept facilitates system installation aboard even the most compact of ship designs.

8 The SCR installation has cut Brusøyskjær’s NOx and CO2 emissions

“Despite the very tight schedule and difficulties arising from the corona virus, we were able to fulfil all requests for a minimal SCR footprint, high NOx reduction rate, prompt delivery of all components, and a highefficiency propulsion system on time.” said Mads Færk, head of sales at MAN PrimeServ Norway.

FAROESE SALMON PRODUCER ABANDONS AIR FREIGHT Salmon farmer Hiddenfjord has taken the bold step of dropping the use of air freight to transport its products to buyers and the move has resulted in a 94% drop in the CO2 footprint of its products

Photo: Hiddenfjord

Photo: Hiddenfjord

Hiddenfjord announced that as of 10th October 2020 it would no longer be shipping by air, instead relying on conventional surface transport routes. According to a study by independent Norwegian research body SINTEF, suspending air freight has Hiddenfjord’s overseas transport CO2 emissions by 94%.

Air freight is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions and emits around fifty times as much CO2 as sea freight.

Hiddenfjord is the first in the aquaculture sector to make a commitment of this size and scope, significantly decreasing their environmental impact in line with UN Global Goals concerning urgent climate action. Salmon already has a much lower carbon footprint than other animal foods such as pork or beef but replacing air freight with sea freight makes it a very sustainable food choice.

“The facts are clear, we all need to immediately stop using aircraft to transport goods in order to reduce climate change,” stated Hiddenfjord’s managing director and owner Atli Gregersen.

“This was a challenging decision for us – we knew it could mean lower prices and a much higher risk because of reduced flexibility in reaching distant markets. But ethically, it is absolutely the right decision. If we claim that we want to be a truly sustainable company, we must take responsible actions.”

Recent independent consumer research shows that Hiddenfjord salmon has maintained the same quality, despite the company’s termination of air freight.

8 According to sales director Óli Hansen, the switch away from air freight has attracted the interest of new customers focusing on sustainability

24 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2021

“Even if the suspension of air freight has been a big change for many of our customers, we were very happy to be able to prove that we could maintain our well-known high quality – now with a much lower CO2 footprint. We see good growth in sales figures, and the product is attracting interest from new customers focusing on sustainability,” explained sales director Óli Hansen.

According to Óli Hansen, the pristine environment of the Faroe Islands is characterised by stable yearround sea temperatures of between 6-11 C° and a specific regional daylight regime makes the Faroe Islands the natural home of Atlantic salmon.

Hiddenfjord’s salmon is raised in pens placed in exposed sites with strong currents that provide ideal natural living conditions, while at the same time preventing seabed pollution. This concept of stress-free harvesting utilises the salmon’s natural instinct to swim against the current. Fish for slaughter are guided from the open sea pens to a harvesting basin and stunned without stress.

A family-owned concern dating back to 1929, Hiddenfjord’s independent status means that it can take an idealistic stand and focus on sustainability without the constant pressure from shareholders on short-term profits. Hiddenfjord’s air freight elimination and use of exposed locations to farm salmon are examples of the company’s focus on sustainability.

All Hiddenfjord salmon products are GLOBALG.A.P-certified.

GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES IN THE ISRAELI DESERT

In Israel, barramundi farming is thriving in an unlikely environment thanks to land-based aquaculture pioneer Aquatech Fisheries, reports Bonnie Waycott

Enjoying fresh fish that doesn’t come from abroad may seem like a fantasy for those in harsh environments such as this one, but thanks to recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), locally produced barramundi is now available in the Israeli desert.

Situated on a plot of land in southern Israel measuring 50,000 square metres (12.35 acres), the Aquatech Negev fish farm of Aquatech Fisheries Ltd (Aquatech) is an advanced RAS farm in the heart of the desert, spearheaded by a local team of experts from all disciplines of fish farming, with advanced technology used throughout all stages of production to grow barramundi. Aquatech currently operates Israel’s only large-scale industrial inland fishery, raising and marketing barramundi across the country.

The company uses local geothermal water that enters the RAS system at a temperature of 37°C. It takes eight to nine months for the fry to reach market size. The unique location of the company and its pathogen-free water source make it possible to meet its high bio-security standards, according to Mordi Laloush, CEO of Aquatech Fisheries.

“We also monitor our process and production parameters each day, and manage and control our data using a unique programme for aquaculture,” Mordi Laloush said.

“After passing through the technological cycle, a small amount of water is discharged using a special irrigation system. This water is then reused for the irrigation of nearby olive groves. Because we’re also in quite a unique location, we’re able to use solar energy efficiently to power our operations with a photovoltaic system.”

Aquatech’s RAS system is based on Israeli RAS firm

AquaMaof’s technology, which was originally designed to grow sea bream with a high salinity and close to zero water discharge. After an operation period of two years, Aquatech decided to replace sea bream with barramundi and identified the species as the perfect fish to grow in its Negev facility after a selection process in 2018.

Also known as Australian sea bass or Asian sea bass, barramundi is a popular fish in Australia and South-East Asia with a small market presence in Israel. Because it’s a predator fish that poses a threat to local fish populations, it cannot be farmed off the Israeli coast but land-based farming is possible, while its fleshy texture, taste, fresh smell and high nutrient content, as well as being Kosher, make it a natural favourite among Israeli consumers.

8 Aquatech plans to expand, with a hatchery, nursery and processing for ready-to-market products

“We decided to switch to barramundi because we felt that the system, which is supposed to support zero discharge of a marine fish facility, was, in our view, not designed, commissioned or delivered properly and we wanted to make some changes,” Mordi Laloush said.

“We had to upgrade some of the system components by ourselves and cope with all obstacles alone to be able to restart with a new species of fish.”

“At the same time, we established a unique, identifiable brand known as Israeli Barramundi. Thanks to the support of a reasonable marketing budget over two years and national campaigns on TV, digital media and the help of influencers, our fishery and brand have become extremely successful, reaching expected annual deliveries of 700 tonnes in 2020 despite the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Total barramundi consumption in Israel grew from 150 tonnes in 2018 to 600 tonnes in 2019. Hopes are high that the figure will rise in 2020 to 900 tonnes, of which Aquatech will supply 80-85% of that demand. Barramundi is still no more than 5% of fresh fish consumption in Israel (the country currently imports 90% of the fish it consumes), but Aquatech’s market research has shown that more and more Israelis prefer to consume local fish.

“Growing fish next to its market is the right way in terms of quality and freshness, sustainability, and for operational and economic reasons. Our barramundi project right in the middle of the Israeli desert is a true success story, and the experience and knowhow that the Aquatech team has gained over four years of operation can now be leveraged. We’re planning to add a hatchery, nursery and an advanced sorting, packing and processing facility to produce fresh gutted fish, filets, smoked fish and additional branded, ready-to-market products.”

Based on its unique knowledge, hands-on experience and technological capabilities in establishing and operating RAS fisheries, Aquatech is planning to identify opportunities in Israel for new fisheries to grow additional species, and tap into new markets for barramundi in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and the US. “Barramundi is seen as a very promising species, so this, together with our successful project in the desert, has resulted in quite a few enquiries from individuals and companies around the world that wish to learn more about our farm. We’re excited to see what the future brings,” Mordi Laloush said.

ACCESS TO LOCAL FISH With the COVID-19 pandemic still very much a concern, consumers are expressing a general desire to have access to local fish. They are also interested in sustainable ways to grow fish, something which RAS is able to offer.

To that end, Aquatech is now planning its expansion strategy, which includes increased production, added value services and the establishment of additional fishery locations inside and outside of Israel.

“There is no doubt that RAS is the future,” Mordi Laloush explained.

BREAKTHROUGH IN WATERBORNE FEEDING SinkabergHansen is investing in a new type of feeding technology that can provide major environmental effects and cost savings in the aquaculture industry

8 The feed barge is to be deployed at one of SinkabergHansen’s most exposed locations

The company has invested in an AC 600 VR feed barge with new technology for waterborne feeding from AKVA group.

“The feed barge with a waterborne feeding system can be described as an efficient feeding machine. The environmental and cost benefits of waterborne feeding are so great that we see it as justifiable to invest in this type of feeding technology,” said CEO Svein-Gustav Sinkaberg at SinkabergHansen, commenting that the feed barge is to be deployed at Otervika, one of the company’s most exposed locations.

Tests carried out during the development of the new tenline feeding system showed a 70-90% reduction in the energy requirement of feeding by waterborne feeding compared to air feeding. Waterborne feeding is also very quiet in operation, and microplastic wear inside feed hoses is not a problem with water transport.

“Waterborne feeding also provides good conditions for deep feeding. In addition to lower lice pressure at depth, there are several types of solutions we continue to work on to facilitate good fish welfare and good growth during deep operation, including light conditions and feed distribution.

Testing and combining the technologies properly at fullscale provides good conditions for developing such solutions - at the same time as we see that there are still issues that should be better elucidated when it comes to adapting operations and technology to optimize good operation and environmental benefits,” Svein-Gustav Sinkaberg said, “If you also add a battery hybrid package, the feeding system in this feed barge provides significant environmental effects and cost savings in the aquaculture industry. Only a monthly cost saving of around NOK 200,000 in generator operation for feeding ten pens provides a good reason to take a closer look at this feeding technology,” said HansØyvind Sagen, Sales Director AKVA group Nordic.

New technology is always associated with both costs and some uncertainty. To adapt the feed barge and gain useful experiences with the new technology, SinkabergHansen

8 Tests showed a 70-90% reduction in the energy requirement of waterborne compared to air feeding

entered into a lease agreement for the AC 600 VR feed barge from late autumn 2019.

“We are very grateful for SinkabergHansen for taking on the role of being in the front line with us to work out waterborne feeding technology,” Hans-Øyvind Sagen said.

Early in spring 2020, the feed barge and waterborne feeding operation were stable and the fish were harvested as planned in June.

“The largest bottleneck for introducing this new environmentally-friendly and cost-saving technology in the market is to show that the waterborne feeding system is stable in operation and provides at least the same growth rate as airborne feeding. In this context, this feed barge sale to SinkabergHansen, and the collaboration with them, is very important for further market development,” said Hans-Øyvind Sagen, who also sees opportunities for existing feed barges.

“In the short term, existing feed barges can be rebuilt from airborne feeding to waterborne feeding, as the energy and environmental effect will be the same as waterborne feeding for new feed barges. In Norway alone, there are several hundred feed barges of steel and concrete that may be relevant for such a rebuild, and it will provide enormous energy savings and environmental effects.”

8 Havara’s chief engineer Michael Pearson has five Cummins engine to look after

There is a long tradition of small coasters carrying goods between the islands, and while the 27 metre by 9.70 metre Havara is following in this tradition, there is little resemblance to the Puffers of the past. As a cargo carrier, Havara’s role is to deliver feed to salmon farms in the Shetland Islands.

Built at Parkol and designed by S C McAllister, Havara has a 350-tonne carrying capacity and can operate with a crew of only three. Havara’s main engines are a pair of six-cylinder Cummins KTA19-M3 units, each delivering 600hp at 1800rpm to drive 1700mm propellers via Reintjes WAF 274 gearboxes with a 6.115:1 reduction.

A third 19-litre Cummins, a KTA19-DM1, generates 480hp at 1500rpm, serving to power the generator and provide power to the hydraulic systems. Additional auxiliary power is provided by a Cummins 6BCP-powered 100kVA generator and a Cummins Onan MDKDU 27kW harbour generator. All of the engines are box cooled and were supplied by Lerwick company L&M Engineering.

In addition to an anchor and three mooring winches provided by EK Marine, Havara has a large HS Marine crane for handling cargo when alongside at the fish farms. A bow thruster helps maintain position when alongside a farm.

Following a seven-year assessment period, all Bakkafrost farms in the Faroe Islands are now certified to the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) standard for responsible aquaculture.

“We are delighted that our last farm now has been awarded an ASC certificate. In 2013, we set ourselves the ambitious goal to become 100% ASC certified by 2020, and since then we have worked very hard to make it happen”, said Bakkafost CEO Regin Jacobsen.

To achieve the ASC certification, farms must operate at the highest industry standards to ensure the preservation of the natural environment, biodiversity and water

DAMEN CONVERTS PSV TO FISH FEED CARRIER

Photo: Damen Shipyards

A platform supply vessel built in 2013 by Damen Shipyards has returned to its builder, emerging after a major conversion for owners Eidsvaag as fish feed carrier Eidsvaag Opal

The extensive conversion carried out at Damen Shiprepair Amsterdam (DSAm) included dividing the hull to insert new sections, lengthening Eidsvaag Opal by five metres, as well as increasing the vessel’s beam, using a series of side boxes, to provide additional stability and cargo capacity.

In addition, the yard integrated 35 new silos and a big bag hold, enabling Eidsvaag Opal to transport up to 2800 tonnes of fish feed. Damen also outfitted the vessel with five new cranes and a discharge system of conveyors, buckets, elevators and a discharge arm.

Eidsvaag Opal will operate in the Fjordfrende collaboration between Eidsvaag for Skretting and Cargill. Ordinarily, Skretting and Cargill are competitors in the fish feed market, but collaborate in outbound logistics. The partnership is based on a number of horizontal logistics projects receiving funding from the EU Commission, aiming at increasing sustainability and efficiency in the aquaculture industry. As a result of Fjordfrende, the CO2 emissions of both companies will be reduced by one fifth, some 10-20 million kg CO2 per year.

Following completion at the end of October, Eidsvaag Opal underwent a first loading in order to test the new system. The test involved carrying 180 tonnes of feed in the silo and 55 tonnes in big bags. Loading went well, requiring only small adjustments to the loading equipment in the big bag room. The feed was unloaded at a fish farm close to Tromsø, at which point the capacity and quality was approved by the product owner. A larger 700 tonne payload was transported for the second test the following week.

DSAm secured the tender to carry out the conversion of

32 | DECEMBER/JANUARY 2021

8 A former PSV has been converted at Damen Shiprepair Amsterdam into fish feed carrier Eidsvaag Opal

Eidsvaag Opal, among other factors, due to its close proximity to Niron Staal, Damen’s specialist steel fabricator. Another factor in the award of tender was Damen’s previous conversion experience for the aquaculture sector and the fact that the company knew the vessel, having built the PSV back in 2013.

The project required considerable steel work, totalling 875 tonnes. The project also required considerable electrical work, carried out by FMJ Marine Automation. The supplier removed some 480 cables – approximately 15 kilometres – from the old cargo systems alone. In total, the company pulled 51 kilometres of cable and connected 1237 cables on the project.

In addition to the steel work required, the Eidsvaag Opal conversion was given an additional layer of complexity with the arrival of the coronavirus epidemic. This required the yard to cease work on the project for one week, in order to implement robust safety measure. Thanks to this, the project was able to continue with minimum danger to health. Despite the need to socially distance during work on the project, work continued at a good pace, taking 346 days in total.

“Naturally we were very concerned with the well-being of everyone working on the project and had to take the time to implement safety measures. This proved to be very effective and not only were we able to continue the work, but we did it in good time,” said DSAm senior project manager Arjan de Vos. “I’m very pleased with the way that we have risen to the challenge presented by the pandemic as a team and been able to continue to safely serve our clients during this time.”

LONGLINER LAUNCHED AT NORTHERN SHIPYARD Marlin is being completed for fishing company Globus and is built to a Marin Teknikk MT1112XL design, one of four such vessels ordered by Russian fishing companies. Designed to fish North Atlantic waters, Marlin has a 58.60 metre overall length with a 13 metre beam. It is being fitted out with an autoline system hauled through a moonpool, as well as a sophisticated factory deck for frozen fillet production with a 30 tonne/day freezing capacity, a 500-tonne refrigerated fishroom and a canning facility.

Propulsion is a diesel-electric system optimised for low fuel consumption and low emissions. Designer Marin Teknikk has been a pioneer of this technology for both offshore and fishing vessels.

Marlin’s launch ceremony was a packed occasion, attended by head of the Federal Fisheries Agency Ilya Shestakov, St. Petersburg governor Alexander Beglov, the Arkhangelsk region’s governor Alexander Tsybulsky, as well as Globus LLC’s director Andrey Zaika and the shipyard director Igor Orlov.

In his speech, Ilya Shestakov commented that the implementation of the Investment Quotas Programme in Russia is what has made the renewal of the fishing fleet possible.

“Thanks to this law, 53 new fishing vessels are currently being built at domestic shipyards. I want to thank everyone for the fact that, despite the lack of confidence in the competencies of our shipyards, you have demonstrated that anything is possible,” he said.

Focusing on Fisheries Development

PHONE APP IS LATEST WEAPON IN GHANA’S FIGHT AGAINST IUU

Photo: EJF

Even before its development had been completed, the Dase phone app had been used to alert Ghanaian authorities of a trawler fish illegally

Launched by the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) as a tool to enable small-scale fishermen to gather evidence of illegal fishing, the app is also being developed for use in other West African countries such as Liberia.

The app – called DASE, which means ‘evidence’ in Fante – provides a simple, user-friendly way of alerting and gathering evidence against the illegal vessels that threaten small-scale fishermen’s livelihoods. Based on the Collect software platform, it was developed by EJF under the EU-funded Far Dwuma Nkodo project.

When a vessel is spotted illegally fishing, or damaging canoes or gear, the user simply opens the app and takes a photo of the boat with its name or identification number showing and records the location. The app does the rest, uploading the report to a central database where the evidence can be used by the government to sanction the perpetrators.

A canoe fisherman was able to film and photograph trawler Bohye at the end of last year, with its gear allegedly deployed within the six nautical mile exclusion zone. This evidence has been submitted to the Fisheries Commission and EJF hopes to see action taken against the vessel owners soon.

The app has been specially designed for small-scale fishermen. The storage space needed is minimal, and if the internet is not available it will upload later when a signal is available. Although extra information can be added to the report, such as a video, all that is needed is a photo and location, which can be logged quickly and easily at sea. The project also distributes waterproof pouches to protect fishermen’s phones.

‘Now the trawlers are afraid to come close to shore because they have become aware we are taking photos of them. They only do so at night in our absence,’ commented

8 The DASE phone app has been developed by EJF as a tool to help Ghana’s coastal fishing people report illegal fishing and other offences

one fisherman from Moree, a fishing community in Ghana’s Central Region.

“Illegal fishing is causing the collapse of Ghana’s staple fish stocks and the loss of food security, livelihoods and tens of millions of dollars in national revenue,” stated Nana Jojo Solomon, executive member of the Ghana National Canoe Fishermen Council, speaking at the launch event for the Dase app in Cape Coast.

“This app means canoe fishers no longer have to stand by while industrial vessels fish illegally in their fishing grounds.”

During its development over the course of 2019, EJF engaged with over 700 fishing people across 48 communities in Ghana’s Central Region, in collaboration with the government’s Fisheries Commission. This process provided fisherfolk and government staff with training to use the app and their suggestions and feedback helped to perfect it.

“By providing cheap, readily available and locally appropriate technologies we are able to empower fishing communities to take action to protect the environment and resources which they depend on,” said EJF’s executive director Steve Trent, commenting that as well as tracking illegal fishing in the exclusion zone the app can be used to support claims of damage caused to canoes or gear by larger vessels.

“It could also be an important tool in preventing saiko – in which trawlers target the staple catch of canoe fishers and sell this fish back to local communities,” he said.
