GEARING UP FOR CAPELIN Iceland’s pelagic sector is looking forward to what is hoped will be the largest capelin season for a couple of decades. In October, the Ministry of Fisheries followed the scientific advice, and Minister Kristján Thór Júlíusson signed off a regulation for a 904,000 tonne quota for the 2021-22 season.

Under agreements with neighbouring nations which get a share of Iceland’s capelin fishery, this allows the Icelandic fleet a 662,064 tonne quota for this year – although capelin quotas tend to be flexible and are subject to adjustments based on research surveys while the fishery takes place.

Fishing could begin from 15th October, although by early November only one pelagic vessel was searching for early season capelin and the rest of the fleet was still occupied with blue whiting and herring fisheries. Fishing is not expected to get seriously underway until close to the end of the year – although there’s also plenty of activity already as processing plants and net lofts are gearing up for the coming season.

“It’s very satisfying to be able to sign off the regulation that can be expected to result in the

“This is great news for particular communities around the country and for the community as a whole as this generates significant revenue for the economy and increases the likelihood that we can see growth in the next few months to take us out of the Covid-related recession.”

PROCESSING & QUALITY

Norwegian naval architect Skipsteknisk has confirmed two new design contracts for Canadian fishing companies, in addition to an ongoing build due for delivery in 2022.

Qikiqtaaluk Fisheries Corporation (QFC) contracted Skipsteknisk to design Saputi II, a replacement for its current the Saputi which was built in 1987. The 79 metre by 17 metre breadth Saputi II is designed for a carrying capacity of 800 tonnes of shrimp or 1200 tonnes of Greenland halibut.

“It will increase overall harvests and production, reduce overall cost per tonne of finished product and provide more jobs for Nunavummiut,” said Olayuk Akesuk, chairman of the wholly Inuit-owned Qikiqtaaluk Corporation.

“QC and its wholly owned subsidiary QFC have been pioneers in the development of the Nunavut

The QFC contract has been followed by another order as the 100% Inuit-owned Baffin Fisheries has placed an order for an 80 metre, 18 metre beam ST-119 design factory trawler to be built at the Tersan Shipyard, The Baffin Fisheries trawler will have a fishroom capacity for 1320 tonnes of seafrozen Greenland halibut or 930 tonnes of shrimp. The delivery date is scheduled for February 2024. This is the latest in a series of Skipsteknisk-designed, Tersan-built factory trawlers, which includes a new vessel currently under construction for Clearwater Ocean Prawns.

The opportunity to play the tough guy over the relatively minor issue of fishing rights is a stroke of good fortune, generating all the right hard-hitting headlines

Until the next time

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

No crystal ball was required to know well in advance how all this was going to shape up. There’s been tension over Channel fishing grounds for centuries, and it was a foregone conclusion that under the present circumstances, those tensions would boil over yet again.

It also didn’t take long for politicians on both sides of the Channel to snatch hold of the latest impasse over fishing and to milk it for all it’s worth.

Anyone would imagine that there wouldn’t be any great impediments to two G7 nations – some of the world’s leading high-tech, superadvanced economies – in sorting out reciprocal licensing for a few dozen fishing vessels. But there’s so much more to this, and it has precious little to do with the rights or wrongs of the issue or the realities of fisheries.

There’s a President on one side of the Channel facing what’s likely to be a bruising election campaign next year. On the other there’s a Prime Minister only too keen to deflect attention away from empty shelves, an ongoing public health crisis and rivers brimming with raw sewage.

For both of them, the opportunity to play the tough guy over the relatively minor issue of fishing rights comes as a stroke of good fortune, generating all the right hard-hitting headlines.

On a national scale, fishing is small potatoes. For those fishing regions on each side of the Channel, the stakes are seriously high. For the politicians it’s a welcome chance to blow the nationalist dog whistle. It goes without saying that the President on one side of the Channel and the Prime Minister on the other have jumped energetically on their bandwagons.

All the expected suitably grandiose statements have been made and the usual platitudes expressed.

It’s a safe enough bet to predict that before long the dust will settle and some uneasy truces will be worked out that allow some face to be saved and let fishermen get back to some kind of normal working practices – until the next time.

Sadly, it’s also a practically copper-bottomed certainty that there will be a next time.

SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE – BUT A STEP INTO THE UNKNOWN According to Icelandic industry body SFS, the approaching capelin season is a step into the unknown. Last year’s small quota of only 71,000 tonnes was largely held back by fishing companies for the later part of the season and the high-value roe fishery, as they sought to maximise the value of what was available to them. Prior to that, there had been two zero-quota seasons.

“The market situation has been unusual, which is primarily attributable to no capelin for two years and for that reason a shortage of capelin products,” an SFS representative said.

“In addition, the quota last year was on the small side compared to earlier years. These factors have a significant effect on the prices for last season’s production.”

SFS states that there are a number of unknown factors – including fleet capacity, how easily capelin can be caught and production capacity ashore.

“The substantial investments made by seafood companies in recent years, both in fishing vessels and high-tech production, will undoubtedly pay dividends.”

The CEO of Westman Islands fishing company Vinnslustöðin Sigurgeir B. Kristgeirsson said that the 900,000 tonne capelin quota this year is a real cause for celebration, but attention needs to be paid to markets that have been starved of product.

“The big news is that the capelin hasn’t disappeared, which blows out of the water the theories that the poor abundance in recent years is due to overfishing,” he said.

“My opinion is that some fishing should have been allowed in the zero-quota years and slightly more should have been allowed last year to alleviate the effects on exports markets.

The capelin prices were very high after the last season – so high that buyers struggle to sell on what they bought.

Companies that had previously used capelin roe have turned to other raw materials, either because there was no capelin roe available, or because

they did not dare pay such a high price.”

He added that the current situation affects both the traditional Asian market and also the Russian-speaking markets.

“I’m not being pessimistic, but this demonstrates that it’s one thing to catch fish, and another process and sell it,” he said.

“Our markets for capelin are certainly damaged, and we need to pay attention to them now that there’s a large quota in sight and

the consumption market has been under-supplied over a long period. What’s positive is that the salmon sector is growing steadily and salmon require feed. But the main reason for celebration is that there is a large fishery ahead from two extremely strong capelin year classes.”

The Abrolhos Island and Mid-West scallop trawl fishery has achieved MSC certification, the first scallop fishery in Australia and the eleventh fishery in Western Australia (WA) to gain certification.

The independent assessment conducted by MRAG Americas found the fishery to be wellmanaged and supported by strong science from the Western Australia Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.

Management measures in place include a limited number of licenses, set seasonal closures, specified gear types, and catch limits determined by an annual stock survey. The fishery’s stock assessment is underpinned by more than thirty years of survey data.

“Regardless of the fishery, national and international buyers are looking for high quality product that is sustainable and well managed and so the Abrolhos scallops tick a lot of boxes.

Canadian fishery officers have now completed their involvement in Operation North Pacific Guard, an annual international law enforcement operation in the high seas of the North Pacific with Canada’s counterparts from the United States, Korea and Japan.

The operation largely took part aboard the US Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf and included the deployment of a Fisheries and Oceans Canada aircraft patrol based in Japan.

Results from the operation include the detection of prohibited gear, failure to maintain records of catch, improper vessel markings and illegal retention of salmon. Overall, the operation detected 42 violations, 25 of which are considered serious violations of regional fisheries management organisation measures that will be investigated and addressed by relevant flag states where warranted.

“Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing undermines the international regulation and stewardship of keystone ocean species. It cheats millions of people living in coastal communities out of hard-earned income, and causes serious harm

The fishery targets the saucer scallop (Ylistrum balloti), known for its sweet flavour and firm, white flesh. Abrolhos scallops are processed at dedicated facilities in Fremantle and Geraldton and distributed to domestic and

international markets, including Singapore and Hong Kong.

The Abrolhos Island scallop fishery contributes more than $5 million to the Western Australian economy annually, creating local jobs and providing quality, sustainable seafood to consumers across Australia and internationally.

“This is a credit both to industry and to the fisheries department.

Fisheries management is something that continues to evolve, and having the MSC Standard to guide future improvement is going to be really beneficial to the fishery,” said Hamish Ch’ng, managing director of Far West Scallops which operates the fishery, adding that achieving certification reflects the really good practices that have developed over time in the fishery.

ALL THE CONTENT OF ICEFISH – PRESENTED ONLINE After the disappointment of circumstances beyond anyone’s control forcing the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition to be postponed, exhibitors and visitors can this year take part in the online IceFish Connect, which brings all of the usual IceFish content, but packaged in an accessible online format.

This includes a packed IceFish connect conference programme, including sessions from Fish Waste for Profit, and opportunities to set up meetings and watch demonstrations take place in real time.

“This is the first time we have run this virtual event for IceFish, and we will be running it in future alongside in-person events, starting with the 2022 Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition,” said Mercator Media events director Marianne Rasmussen-Coulling.

“A great deal of effort has gone into bringing together the right content to ensure that IceFish Connect attracts both the right speakers and a genuinely engaged audience.”

All visitors to IceFish Connect are registered and a smart AI-based system analyses profiles to match them against the service and equipment providers that have offerings to suit their requirements, ensuring that visitors to the virtual event make the most of the opportunities that IceFish Connect has to offer.

“It’s not the same as an event where people can meet face-to-face, but the principles are the same as those behind any business event. While random engagement around the halls isn’t part of the mix, IceFish Connect takes a different approach and matches people via shared interest choices registered on the platform. This helps visitors to meet in a more structured manner to bring together people whose requirements dovetail neatly,” she said.

“So you can meet, network and discuss key requirements for you and your business, just as you would at an in-person event.”

Visitors will be provided with the full Icefish Connect online conference schedule, featuring expert speakers and panellists for each dedicated session. This is in addition to the main Icefish Connect programme of launches, events and demonstrations.

“This is the second year that Covid restrictions have prevented people from meeting in person, although the fishing, aquaculture and seafood industries are hugely resourceful, and these business sectors have been quick to adapt to a new working environment.

8 “You can meet, network and discuss key requirements for you and your business, just as you would at an in-person event,” said Mercator Media events director Marianne Rasmussen-Coulling

IceFish Connect is our contribution to keeping the commercial fishing, processing and seafood industry as a whole connected and up-to-date – and we’ll be back with both another IceFish Connect and the long-overdue in-person Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition in 2022,” Marianne RasmussenCoulling said.

The future of fishing

SOURCE OF INSPIRATION Iceland is well positioned to offer the United Kingdom a lot more than just its favourite whitefish, writes Jason Holland

8 Cod is Iceland’s single most valuable species, accounting for 49% of 2020’s seafood export value

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, but teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Advocating the more bountiful benefits brought by long-term focus over those generated by shorter-term actions, it’s a well-worn proverb, but one that’s stood the test of time, with direct relevance to many different sectors today. In this regard, there’s a strong case for flagging its applicability for the United Kingdom’s fisheries and seafood industry, which in the post-Brexit/COVID-recovery landscape is ripe for some reinvention.

A recent meeting in London’s Fishmongers’ Hall brought together decision makers from both the UK and Iceland with the intention of exploring opportunities generated by the free trade agreement (FTA) that the two countries signed in the summer. Besides acknowledging the fact that Brits consume more Icelandic cod and haddock than any other nation, discussions also honed in on how investment in new technologies and innovation, including state-of-the-art ships and processing plants, has served Iceland’s seafood economy very well over the past few decades, including making it particularly resilient during the coronavirus pandemic.

“At first, when COVID started, we were afraid that the seafood industry would fall to its knees. But that didn’t happen. 2020 for Icelandic seafood was very good,” Fisheries Iceland’s CEO, Heiðrún Lind Marteinsdóttir, told the meeting.

“There were obviously some market failures, and some segments were worse affected than others, but with

10 | NOVEMBER 2021

longstanding, solid business relationships in the UK, together with the strength and flexibility of Iceland’s seafood industry, we ensured a strong position, and I hope that will be the case for years to come,” she said.

Well paid According to figures from Statistics Iceland, the country’s marine exports totalled 604,129 tonnes in 2020. Going to 95 countries, these products generated revenues of €1.7 billion, which accounted for 40% of the overall value of all its exported goods.

It was also confirmed that around 80% of Iceland’s seafood exports were sold to Europe, and that cod was the single most valuable species, accounting for 49% of 2020’s seafood export value.

Given the dependence that Icelanders and the Icelandic economy have on these natural resources, Heiðrún Lind Marteinsdóttir stressed the national importance of finding the right balance between the three pillars of environment, economy and society.

To this end, companies in the country’s fisheries sector have made significant investment in recent years, she said. At the same time, the industry also pays very good wages, with fishermen ranking highest – enjoying an average monthly salary in excess of ISK 1.3 million (approx. €8650), while jobs in processing are comparative to the national average with ISK 630,000 (€4200).

INSIGHT “Iceland is a high wage country and while this creates some difficulties for the fisheries sector when it comes to competition with other nations processing fish on a large scale, especially those in eastern Europe and Asia, that is precisely why Icelandic companies have been a driving force in implementing innovation.

“Unmanned processing on ships and automated processing on land are part of the competitiveness of the Icelandic fisheries sector. We cannot and will not compete with nations that pay significantly lower wages, but we have managed to tackle that problem by developing automated technologies that reduce labour costs,” Heiðrún Lind Marteinsdóttir said.

New standards Despite such progress, the Icelandic fisheries sector is not perfect, with plenty room for improvement remaining, she said.

Therefore, in 2020, Fisheries Iceland started work on a corporate social responsibility programme for the entire industry, based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

While this still needs work in some areas, she is positive about what it will bring to the sector.

“It was difficult, but we managed to put together a policy, and that will bring strong confidence in providing that stamp of sustainability,” she said.

At the same time, a new standard is in development that focuses on crew welfare and the provision of decent working conditions onboard vessels, advised Fisheries Iceland’s Senior Advisor for Fisheries and International Affairs, Kristján Thórarinsson.

Called “FISH” (standing for fairness, integrity, safety and health), participating companies will be able to certify their fleets, as will inshore and family-owned vessels, with the option for group certification.

Work is about to start with certification bodies and potential FISH certificate holders on pilot audits in Alaska, Namibia, Iceland, US/Canada east coast, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, he said.

FISH will also apply for recognition by the Consumer Goods Forum Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative (SSCI) benchmark for At-Sea Operations schemes upon completion of the requisite number of audits, with this recognition demonstrating credibility in the global marketplace.

“This is business-to-business tool, providing assurances that a vessel has been audited through a credible system. It will not be a consumer facing logo or revenue generating,” Kristján Thórarinsson said.

Fisheries Iceland is also looking to extend the internationally-recognised Icelandic Responsible Fisheries Management (IRFM) scheme with the development of a shared chain of custody standard with other RFM programmes such as Alaska, and also help introduce new national RFM programmes in other markets.

Learning lessons The UK is alert to Iceland’s success, confirmed Colin Faulkner, Deputy Director of External Fisheries Negotiations & Trade Policy with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), which has the remit to help drive and grow the relationship between the two countries over the coming years.

“As a new independent coastal state, we look at Iceland with great interest; both because of the enormous economic importance of the country in terms of the seafood trade, but also because we have much to learn from it as an independent coastal state.

“We will be taking forward a really significant programme

of reform in our fisheries over the next few years, and Iceland is teaching us many lessons – both on the fisheries side but also in the seafood trade,” he said.

Meanwhile, Sturla Sigurjónsson, Ambassador of Iceland to the United Kingdom, told the meeting that he believed the new trade relationship and possible further co-operations could be of mutual interest and benefit to both nations.

“It is always a source of pride for myself and my colleagues to discuss level of sustainability achieved by the industry, the emphasis on high quality and the awareness of the need for competitive pricing and dependable supply. All of this appeals to the discerning British consumer, who is becoming increasingly environmentally conscious and interested in clean and wholesome food.

“The UK is Iceland’s single biggest market for seafood, including high-end products, and long may this remain so,” Sturla Sigurjónsson said.

Similarly, the recently appointed UK Trade Envoy to Iceland and Norway, Felicity Buchan, shared her hopes for the “already strong relationship” that exists between the two countries, and underlined the importance that both place on fisheries.

“I see the free trade agreement as not being an end but a beginning. I see it as an agreement that not only consolidates our existing concerns but also develops them further.

“There’s no question that this relationship is very important to the UK. If we look at Grimsby and the Humber, Iceland supports 5000 jobs in that community, which is incredibly important. And we all know about British fish and chips – I understand that about 95% of the cod and haddock that goes into our fish and chip [sector] actually comes from Iceland.

“I think that there is so much more that we can do collectively. Not only in fisheries and seafood, but also across renewable energy, green power and tourism,” she said.

BLACK SEA OYSTER RENAISSANCE

Ukraine, Russia, and Georgia harbour plans to expand oyster production on the Black Sea, eyeing not only domestic but also international markets, reports Vladislav Vorotnikov

The Black Sea has a long history of oyster production. In the early 20th century, three industrial oyster farms operated in Crimea and on the southern shores of mainland Ukraine.

Together with its wild oyster catch, Ukraine produced up to five million oysters per year.

Extensive catches at the end of the 19th century depleted oyster resources, leading several businessmen to launch the first oyster farms in the Russian Empire. Those farms failed to survive the Russian Revolution, and oyster production in this corner of the world came to an end.

“Ukraine has to return to its fame of oyster supplier to the world’s market,” said Alexander Kornienko, leader of the governing political party Servant of the People. “Ukraine can become the world’s leader in the production of some aquaculture species, including oysters. During the times of the Russian Empire, southern Ukraine exported aquaculture products all around the world. Now, the country must become an oyster giant again.”

This statement was made during a visit to a private oyster farm in the Mykolaiv region, believed to be the only industrial oyster producer in mainland Ukraine currently in operation.

The farm was founded by a private entrepreneur Andrey Pigulevsky, who has become a trailblazer of oyster production in Ukraine, launching his farm with the capacity of 16 to 17 tonnes per year in 2016. However, growing oysters in the Black Sea appeared to be a challenging business.

8 An official visit to an oyster farm in Russia

“When a storm comes, all the bags are scattered, or they are being stolen [by locals]. Or you buy juvenile oysters, plant them, and after three months they die, and you can’t say why,” he said, adding that despite the difficulties, he aims to double oyster production every year and launch export in the foreseeable future.

“Neighbouring countries have a strong interest in our product. And we are still the only commercial supplier of Black Sea oysters,” Andrey Pigulevsky said.

Several companies announced plans to launch oyster production in Ukraine in recent years, but none have yet been implemented.

Forbidden Crimean oysters The real oyster boom is currently in Crimea, even though the peninsula is still subjected to the strictest Western sanctions, which effectively prohibit foreigners from buying or selling anything to the region, let alone investing in local production.

“In 2021, we expect production of mussels and oysters to reach 1700 tonnes,” said Andrey Ryumshin, Crimean Agricultural Minister, adding that Crimea is supplying oysters to not only local hotels and restaurants but also to Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other Russian cities.

Speaking during a press conference last month, Ilya Shestakov, director of the Russian Federal Agency for Fisheries, said that for the first time, Russia had become self-

For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

NEW HORIZONS Salmon, shrimp, and other crustaceans are enjoying the strongest demand on the Russian market [among all aquaculture species] sufficient in oysters to an extent thanks to the Crimean farms.

In 2020, the combined production of oysters and mussels in the peninsula reached 1577 tonnes, 11% up compared to the previous year, Andrey Ryumshin estimated. However, with domestic oyster production close to matching demand, there is a question of how to keep increasing sales. Crimea has plans to export oysters, but the list of potential sales markets so far is limited to Russian political allies: Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Belarus.

Black Sea oysters are projected to compete on the global market even with those from France, as local farmers are confident their products can taste even better.

“Oyster flavour may vary depending on the habitat. Our shellfish tastes better than those caught in the Mediterranean.

And this is not our statement. We have repeatedly participated in various harvest and wine festivals, where the French and Italians, who we met there, noticed that our oysters were more tender and tasty,” said Sergey Grishchenko, chairman of the Crimean Aquaculture Association.

Crimea’s water salinity is 17 permille – exactly the same as in France – believed to be ideal for oysters. However, Crimean farmers reportedly struggle with a lack of equipment and technology, which remain unobtainable due to sanctions – although this problem is not recognised officially. These same circumstances could limit development of exports – but not everyone agrees.

“You just need to open an office in Krasnodar Krai, and you are not subjected to the European sanctions, no matter where your production is located,” commented a source in the Russian aquaculture industry who wished not to be named, adding there are some well-known strategies to bypass restrictions.

“Nobody checks. You keep quiet and don’t attract too much attention. Quite a few Crimean companies use this approach to avoid sanctions these days, and I don’t see why oyster farmers can’t do the same. Nobody can tell for sure in which region of the Black Sea oysters were grown,” he added.

Georgia keeps up In Georgia there is one oyster farm in operation, with government plans to expand this industry.

Launched in 2020, Mariculture Georgia runs an offshore oyster farm with a processing plant in the Adjara region and a freezing facility in Tbilisi. The company took advantage of a soft loan provided by the government of 470,000 lari ($150,000).

“Georgia has great potential in developing both aquaculture and mariculture. This potential must be maximised.

Mariculture Georgia has taken the first steps,” commented Georgian Agriculture Minister Levan Davitashvili.

The farm covers 70 hectares, producing 30 tonnes of mussels and 10-15 tonnes of oysters per season.

Live products are sold from May to October. During the rest of the year, the company sells frozen production. The company is also forming export plans, with its eye on Azerbaijan, Russia, Hong Kong, Canada, and Ukraine.

“For more such successful projects, it is necessary to continue allocating state support [to aquaculture companies],”

‘‘

Levan Davitashvili said, adding that the government plans to design an integrated approach to boost industry development.

Mounting scepticism Oyster farming has become a trendy business in the postSoviet space. However, there are concerns, given the limited export prospects and low demand on local markets, that prospects could be enormously overrated.

“Salmonids and crustaceans grown in the Black Sea will be more in demand on the Russian market than mussels and oysters,” said Efim Kozhurin, head of the Azov-Black Sea branch of the Russian fish industry institute VNIRO. “Salmon, shrimp, and other crustaceans are enjoying the strongest demand on the Russian market [among all aquaculture species],” he said, adding that the import of shellfish is very low, indicating a lack of consumer interest.

A Russian mariculture farm sells on average only 60% of all products, Efim Kozhurin said, adding that in general, Russia achieved substantial progress in developing fish farming in recent years, but now farmers must think about what species they want to produce and what the market needs, not least with the shrinking purchasing power of Russian consumers.

More than 80% of Russians are believed to have never tasted oysters, and most of them are not planning to, and the wealthiest consumers tend to opt for imported products – so, despite the optimism, there may be limits to the future of a Black Sea oyster industry.

MØRENOT’S ONE-STOP SHOP FOR LONGLINE GEAR By moving squarely into the market for longline deck hardware, Mørenot has placed itself as a complete supplier – its new range of longline handling systems complementing the company’s existing catalogue of longlines and hooks

8 Mørenot has ventured into the market for longline hardware with a compete system of electric deck equipment, including a hauler and rotobrush, hook splitter and baiting machine

Previewed at this year’s DanFish exhibition, The Catch LineTech system is a full package of hauler, hook splitter and baiting machine with versions for both coastal and offshore vessels, all designed from first principles as electric systems, rather than having been adapted from existing hydraulic equipment.

The engineering team at Mørenot Ísland have developed the system, with the E-Hauler, at the heart of it, designed to be flexible and to make hauling as smooth as possible to minimise loss of fish from the line, as well as being easily adjustable for speed and torque. This can be supplied with an electro rotobrush unit. The hook splitter has all the capabilities of other such systems on the market, but operates with a much lower noise level and has more options for operation to be fine-tuned than has previously been possible.

Mørenot’s Catch LineTech system has already been tested at sea in Iceland, and the first orders for installations have already been placed.

“The initial testing at sea was carried out on a Westman Islands longliner, and now we’re preparing for a longer trial for a month or more so we can run a few hundred thousand hooks through it,” said Mørenot Ísland’s managing director Magnús Smith, who has no illusions about what they are aiming to compete against.

“We are up against some very good longline systems from established producers. But these engineers we have working

on this have been able to approach this from some new directions to develop a setup that’s fully electric, not something based on 1970s technology. It operates with a low power requirement, and we have had plenty of skippers and engineers stopping by here to take a look, including some from the Norwegian longliners – and they all like what they see.”

He added that the development has been driven by a group of four young engineers who have come to this from various tech companies in different sectors.

“They have brought to this practical experience as well as computer design skills – and they have some fresh ideas,” he said, and commented that the hauler has been pushed to 65 hooks per minute.

“It has a pull of up to 2200kg. The baiting machine is fully electric, driven by top-of-the-line servo motors, and it easily baits up to six hooks per second. If you’re shooting the line in heavy weather, then everything slows down when you hit a wave, but as soon as you’re past the crest and runs down the other side, then the line whizzes out and you need to have that baiting speed so it can keep up with that demand.”

He added that ensuring every hook hits that water properly baited is vital, and a Hook Analyser is also in development as an optional extra. This checks each hook as the line is hauled, flagging up an alert every time it identifies a hook that is damaged and needs to be replaced.

FISHING TECHNOLOGY After having been based at the heart of the port of Saint-Malo in Brittany since 1902, French trawl door manufacturer Morgère has made the move out of the city to a purposebuilt manufacturing facility in nearby Miniac-Morvan.

“The team at Morgère are delighted at this major investment in our new production facility, which will bring immense benefits to our growing number of customers. We have a long tradition of supplying high-performing trawl doors and other fishing equipment, and the Miniac-Morvan facility provides an exciting opportunity for new growth,” said Morgère’s managing director Pascal Reverseau.

Relocating to this new 2500m² facility will enable Morgère’s skilled engineers to make full use of the most modern production techniques for its range of trawl doors and other fishing equipment. The new, larger production unit also offers better storage and more efficient production line management.

Established in 1902, Morgère designs and manufactures a wide range of trawl doors and associated equipment for demersal, semipelagic and pelagic fishing. Trawl doors in the range include the versatile Exocet and Osprey.

Exocet doors have a lower angle of attack compared to standard door designs, while maintaining the same spread, which results in

MORGÈRE’S NEW FACILITY OPEN FOR BUSINESS

reduced drag that benefits fuel efficiency. The semi-pelagic Osprey doors fish on and just off the seabed, and have delivered excellent results for fishermen.

“The key to the success of Morgère has been the intensive and sophisticated research work behind the design and development of the trawl doors,” Pascal Reverseau added.

8 After a century at the Saint-Malo quayside, Morgère has relocated to a modern production facility

“This includes the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) research focusing on the hydrodynamics of the new trawl door design to optimise performance.”

FISHING TECHNOLOY “This machine is pure genius. It went like a dream and the surprise was how quickly it was all done,” said skipper Friðleifur Einarsson of Brim’s fresher trawler Helga María, referring to Hampiðjan’s new mobile wire tensioning unit which is used to spool warps onto winch drums under constant tension.

Fishing gear supplier Hampiðjan has set up warp spooling systems on solid foundations at its facilities in Iceland, in Reykjavík, the Westman Islands, Akureyri and Neskaupstaður. This ensures that as new warp is loaded onto a trawler’s winch drums, the tension remains constant, the wire spools evenly onto the drums and Friðleifur Einarsson said that prior to this being an option, warp was spooled on board as tightly as possible.

But to tension the wire, the only option was to shoot the gear away in deep water, run off as much wire as possible, and to haul it back.

Since the warp spooling system arrived, increasing numbers of trawlers have opted to spool wire on board under tension, so new warps are ready to be used right away.

The usual procedure has been to moor the trawler with the stern to the quayside, with the new wire leading directly to the vessel from the tensioning machine which is located on a solid foundation on the dock. This has been shown to be the most effective method of tensioning warps and has provided excellent result for the trawlers that have taken advantage of it.

The problem is that it’s not always convenient to steam to these locations to spool new warps on board under tension, so Hampiðjan has added a wire truck to the list of services it offers customers. This low-loader has a cradle for a drum of warp, and the wire passes through the spooling tensioner on the trailer to the trawler, and this mobile tensioning unit can be used at more remote locations.

WARP SPOOLING IS PURE GENIUS, SAYS TRAWLER SKIPPER 8 New 32mm warp being spooled on board Brim’s fresher trawler Helga María

To test the new mobile tensioning unit for the first time, warps were spooled on board Brim’s fresher trawler Helga María as it lay with its starboard side to the Skarfabakki quayside in Reykjavík’s Sund harbour. The tensioning truck was positioned to one side of the trawler’s stern.

“This makes it possible to deliver wire where

it is needed if direct spooling isn’t possible.

This provides us with opportunities to make Hampiðjan’s service offering to fishing companies and fishing vessels even more widely available,” said Hampiðjan Ísland’s managing director Jón Oddur Davíðsson, who watched the new wire truck being put through its paces for the first time.

The new warp spooled onto Helga María´s winch drums is 32mm in diameter. The weight is deceptive, and each reel is no less than nine tonnes, so a crane is needed to lift each reel of wire into place on Hampiðjan’s wire truck.

Helga María took 2103 metres (1100 fathoms) of wire on each drum.

“It works better than I could have hoped.

You feel the difference right away,” said Friðleifur Einarsson, who headed for the area of fishing grounds off the south-west of Iceland known as the Mountains to start making use of the new 32mm warps.

“Having the warps tensioned means you can shoot the gear whenever you want to, on deep or shallow grounds. The warps are always tensioned and ready on the winches.

This service is a real bonus,” Friðleifur Einarsson said.

ARCTIC CHAR – NICHE SPECIES READY TO GO MAINSTREAM There are ambitious plans to bring what is currently a niche farmed species to greater prominence as Arctic char production is about to be stepped up by Norwegian Fish Farms working with seafood producer Babord Group

8 Babord Group is about to make Arctic char better known and more widely available

Only a few hundred tonnes of Arctic char are produced in Norway every year by a handful of producers, plus there is also modest production in Sweden, Austria and Canada, while easily the largest producer of this species is Iceland.

“Worldwide production is around 10,000 tonnes, and more than half of that comes from Iceland,” explained Laetitia Pipaluk Rosing of Babord Group, which teamed up almost three years ago with Norwegian Fish Farms to bring this overlooked species to new markets.

The Norwegian Fish Farms facility is located high in the mountains where there is a supply of pure groundwater at the right temperature, and a highly resilient broodstock has been sourced from a lake more than a thousand metres above sea level. The company aims to produce 1500 to 2000 tonnes of Arctic char annually to begin with, gradually ramping up production to its 34,000 tonne long-term target.

“This is a fish that represents something different to species such as salmon or trout. It’s a smaller fish, still a salmonoid. We decided to go into this venture with Norwegian Fish Farms because they presented a really high-quality product – definitely premium quality. Plus they have very interesting plans for expansion,” Laetitia Rosing said.

“The texture is much more like a wild fish than a farmed fish, so there is very firm yet juicy texture, and the taste is quite different from salmon. It’s milder and it’s subtle, and doesn’t have the oily or bitter aftertaste that you can often have from salmon. It’s a fantastic fish in all respects, and with a great potential to develop, both for products for retail and also for the restaurant market because this is not a salmon and in my opinion it should not be sold as a salmon,” she said.

for more mainstream markets with better volumes coming into production. The market is ready for a new alternative to salmon and trout. We see interest in new farmed species, and what is also important is the sustainability of it. Norwegian Fish Farms produce according to sustainable principles, and it’s a very important point when we speak about aquaculture that it has to be sustainable. We cannot do it any other way.

So this aspect also makes it very interesting.”

Babord took the decision to accept Norwegian Fish Farms’ Arctic char as one of its special products and to develop this into retail and also for some of its customers who are looking for something different and new.

“I think Arctic char has those qualities,” she said, adding that this species is easily processable, but sizes are different to what we are used to seeing with salmon.

Arctic char are ready for slaughter at between one and two years and at a weight of 1000 to 1500 grammes.

“We usually take it out at around 1 to 1.20kg, but the size is the main difference between char and salmon, so it’s not possible to make retail portions in the same way, but you can definitely produce portions. You can produce good fillets of 400-500 grammes from the biggest fish, which can be used to make retail portions or restaurant portions. It’s easily processable and the pinbones are extracted quite easily two or three days after slaughter. So definitely not a problem to process.”

Arctic char is a species that is unusually well suited to being farmed, which brings with it a number of benefits.

“This is a robust fish that seems to actually like to be farmed, which is something quite special. Compared to salmon, it likes to be dense and prefers to be in close contact, so you can have more fish per cubic metre than you can with salmon,” Laetitia Pipaluk Rosing said.

Norwegian Fish Farms are preparing to produce 15002000 tonnes over the next few years, working with an easily upscaled modular production model, providing a flexible operating pattern that allows relatively rapid response to changing markets and demand.

“They can tailor production so there isn’t suddenly a lot of fish for which there is no market, so they can scale up gradually as the market grows. It’s important to not grow too fast as we build the right strategies and find the right customers who are prepared to pay a premium for a premium fish.”

In the meantime, Babord is working with a retailer in Norway to get Arctic char onto the shelves within the next few months, as well as working on plans to introduce it to areas of export markets that are looking for something new and different in a sustainably farmed species.

“This is realistic and consumers in Europe could be able to buy Norwegian farmed Arctic char very soon,” she said.

CARSOE AND INTECH JOIN FORCES Processing equipment companies Carsoe and Intech are set to consolidate the combined seafood activities at Carsoe and integrate all food activities relating to tray denesting technology at Intech, as Carsoe acquires all of the outstanding shares in Intech The former owners of Intech, Leif Carøe Andersen and Carsten Trudslev, will continue with their respective business responsibilities and as significant minority shareholders in both of the combined businesses. The consolidation aims to sharpen focus and increase the capacity to significantly strengthen each segment’s market position and growth potential, while pooling investments in sales, service, and product development.

“We are excited to join forces and to build an even stronger Carsoe seafood business. We are on a journey to becoming the largest global preferred supplier of onboard seafood processing systems,” said Carsoe CEO Hugo Dissing, who will continue his role in the combined seafood activities.

“Our companies share similar cultures, and I look very much forward to the shared journey that lies ahead.”

Carsoe will strengthen its platform for continued growth by refocusing its business purely on the seafood sector, in particular broadening its product offerings in the smaller vessel segment and increasing market opportunities in existing and new markets both onshore and offshore. The combined goal is to continue exceptional service and deliver high- quality processing solutions to an expanded seafood customer base.

The primary purpose of the combined seafood division is to develop, manufacture, market, distribute, and service equipment and complete solutions for handling, processing, freezing, and packing seafood, while Intech will have the capacity to focus more on the tray denesting products in combination with automation applications such as pick &

place robots and complete packaging solutions in close cooperation with its subsidiary DamGaard Automatik.

“The food business is ever-expanding since customers are looking for increased convenience. New technologies will continue to emerge, and we are preparing ourselves for this exciting future by refocusing our business,” said Intech CEO Kim Weidemann, who will continue as CEO of combined food activities.

AQUACULTURE

CURING AQUACULTURE’S GROWING PAINS Algae-based oil makes its case as a viable fish oil alternative, reports Bonnie Waycott

8 Growth in aquaculture production of 30-40 million tonnes by 2030 means a substantial increase in the requirement for feed

As consumer demand for seafood from aquaculture has grown, so too has the focus on sustainable production. One of the challenges facing aquaculture is expanding its raw material basket for sustainable concentrated proteins and omega-3 fatty acids. Veramaris®, a natural marine algae oil, is part of the solution.

Around three billion people in the world rely on seafood as their main source of protein, and this demand is expected to grow considerably with rising incomes, preference shifts, population growth and the array of health benefits that seafood provides. As the world’s fastest-growing food production sector, aquaculture will need to increase production by 30-40 million tonnes by 2030 to meet this demand, and in order to do so, extra feed will be required. But there aren’t enough traditional feed ingredients to fuel this growth.

Aquaculture has already made great strides in adopting alternative raw materials, and now Veramaris, a joint venture between DSM Animal Nutrition and Health in the Netherlands and German-based Evonik, has pioneered a ground-breaking solution: Veramaris natural marine algal oil. Veramaris is the first and only ASC-MSC certified source of EPA and DHA omega-3 rich algae for aquaculture and contains very high levels of the most important fatty acids.

It delivers a solution that is affordable, sustainable and adds up to 45% more EPA & DHA omega-3 to the global supply, supporting the industry to grow within planetary boundaries. Manufactured at a high-tech $200 million facility in Nebraska, marine micro algae is combined with feedstock and enters a fermentation process. The algae cells then multiply and convert feedstock into EPA & DHA omega-3 fatty acids, which accumulate in the algae. At this point, the concentrated omega-3 oil is extracted, while the remaining fraction is used as a sustainable protein source for cattle feed, resulting in zero waste.

The end result is a sustainable, natural and cost-effective

22 | NOVEMBER 2021

marine algal oil that’s used in commercial fish farms to grow salmon, shrimp, trout, steelhead trout, yellowtail, largemouth bass, sea bream and sea bass, with more possibilities on the horizon. In general, Veramaris® is used as a significant alternative to fish oil in aquaculture feed.

Sustainable growth ambitions “Our land-based, scalable facility means that we can consistently deliver the same levels of EPA and DHA omega-3 24/7, 365 days a year,” said Ian Carr, Business Development Director at Veramaris.

“In 2020, the facility tripled its production, and we are now able to produce sufficient EPA and DHA to cover 15% of the global salmon industry’s annual demand. This is because one tonne of Veramaris algal oil contains as much EPA and DHA omega-3 as up to 66 tonnes of wild caught fish. That ratio is growing, so Veramaris is enabling the growth of aquaculture without increasing the reliance on marine ingredients.”

“Taking salmon as an example, the salmon industry has strong sustainable growth ambitions but it cannot achieve them without taking action now to diversify traditional supplies of EPA & DHA omega-3,” Carr continued. “In order to put its sustainability goals into practice and meet retail and consumer demand for responsibly raised seafood, the industry has been working systematically to supplement its 8 Veramaris contains very high levels of the most important fatty acids

8 Using Veramaris algal oil allows the aquaculture sector to reach its target of reducing its reliance on wild fish for fish feed

use of fishmeal and fish oil and other traditional ingredients with alternatives. By using Veramaris algal oil, it can reach its target of reducing its reliance on wild fish for fish feed – a substantial sustainability milestone for an ever-important supplier of high-quality protein to an increasingly discerning consumer. By bringing such scale to the aquaculture industry, Veramaris® enables aquaculture to raise the levels of EPA & DHA omega-3 in fillets for healthier fish and more nutritious seafood in a sustainable environment.”

Better health and welfare When salmon farmers use Veramaris algal oil, they can take back control of the EPA and DHA omega-3 levels in their salmon feed, creating positive effects for the salmon. These effects can be summarised in better fish health, improved fish welfare, increased growth and improved flesh quality (colour and melanin spots). At the same time, there is growing evidence that a sufficient level of these fatty acids is needed to ensure a robust fish through different production stages and variable growing conditions. In addition, research in shrimp has shown significantly higher survival rates against acute hepatopancreatic necrosis syndrome (AHPNS) when fed with higher omega-3 levels. Improved fish and shrimp health results in lower mortality and a higher quality product, which contributes to a more sustainable industry, improving lifetime performance and leading to reduced food loss and waste.

“Seafood is extremely important to consumers around the world,” Ian Carr said.

“We researched consumer attitudes in a study of 14,000

people in seven countries, and found that omega-3 content is important to 55% of regular salmon consumers. In addition, more than 70% of frequent buyers of salmon recognise the health benefits on the brain, heart and eyes, while just under half said they would definitely buy salmon fed with natural marine algae.”

It’s not only the quality of seafood that people care about.

“Biosphere integrity, or the loss of species, is thought to be the most immediate challenge our planet faces,” Ian Carr added. “Loss of species biodiversity is recognised as a key factor which can lead to the collapse of food webs and ecosystems. Veramaris helps to tackle this problem too by reducing the reliance on wild fish for fish feed.”

DSM has launched a series of sustainability platforms as part of a strategic initiative called We Make It Possible.

Through innovative technology and nutritional solutions, the company is playing a key role in steering aquaculture towards more sustainable production, in addition to tackling some of the biggest challenges facing the animal agriculture industry across the world. DSM provides science-led, innovative solutions on its new sustainability platform to support sustainable aquaculture feeds.

“Through our initiatives we can raise awareness not only among fish farms but also among consumers, and show that we are leading a robust and achievable worldwide transformation in sustainable animal protein production while lowering our footprint and reliance on planetary resources, including marine resources,” said Louise Buttle, Global Aqua marketing director at Veramaris.

CAGE INSPECTION WITH AUTONOMOUS ROV Researchers in Norway are working on projects providing the groundwork for a revolution in aquaculture. As a small part of this revolution, Nortek’s DVL is helping to bring autonomous navigation to ROVs used in Norwegian fish farms

8 The Nortek DVL1000 (bottom right) installed on the Artifex net inspection ROV

Detailed inspections, which are crucial to the careful maintenance of aquaculture cage nets, used to rely on sending divers down to check the nets. That’s a cumbersome and time-consuming process, not least because there is a lot of netting to check – a fish farm cage is typically around 50 metres across and 30 metres deep.

Today, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) equipped with a camera and sensors do a lot of the inspection work. But these must be steered via a tether from the surface by a skilled pilot, whose attention is split between navigating the vehicle accurately around the edge of the cage – with control over little more than depth and heading – while also conducting the inspection itself.

If the operator could spend more time on the inspection, rather than navigation, the job could be done more quickly and efficiently. So, scientists from Norwegian research institute SINTEF hit on the idea of simplifying the task by developing a prototype inspection ROV with a high degree of autonomous navigational capability.

“If you can make the ROV ‘fly’ along the net autonomously, then the pilot can concentrate more on inspecting the quality of the net and deploying analytical equipment that is more complex to operate,” said Walter Caharija, a research scientist at SINTEF Ocean.

24 | NOVEMBER 2021

He led the project, known as Artifex, which built on the pioneering work of former SINTEF researcher Per Rundtop.

The team was able to carry out research in a fully operational commercial fish farm, known as the SINTEF ACE full-scale laboratory, which is located off Trondheim, the Norwegian city where the institute is based. Trondheim is a major center for the fish-farming industry.

Autonomous navigation So how do you to get the vehicle to track the contours of the net from a fixed distance as it travels around the inside of the cage? This requires more than just knowing where the ROV is 8 The Nortek DVL mounted on the Artifex ROV during trials. The DVL transducer windows are visible bottom left, facing the net

If you can make the ROV ‘fly’ along the net autonomously, then the pilot can concentrate more on inspecting the quality of the net and deploying analytical equipment that is more complex to operate

Testing in deeper, tougher conditions Artifex and its successor projects are part of a drive with much wider ambitions. They could pave the way for completely unmanned fish farms, with monitoring and repair controlled remotely by personnel based on land, and repairs carried out by ROVs, rather than divers, as is the case now.

The Artifex team also aims to fit the ROV with a robotic arm to carry out net repairs, while the project partners are developing an unmanned surface vessel (USV) to which an ROV could be tethered, along with a drone to assist inspections.

Moving fish farms further offshore is a growing trend as farmers seek to meet growing global demand for fish. So the next step for the researchers is to move away from the relative calm of near-shore fish farms to test the ROV in deeper, rougher waters.

The SINTEF team are doing this as part of the Exposed project, a joint venture between academic researchers, aquaculture companies and technology firms to develop new, low-cost techniques for many aspects of fish farming in more exposed locations.

In calmer waters close to shore, a vessel can be attached to the net, making interaction with the ROV to which it is tethered relatively straightforward. However, in more exposed locations with rougher seas, it may not be safe to attach the vessel to the net, making the process of keeping it on station above the ROV a lot more complicated.

“In those conditions, tasks such as the launch and recovery of the ROV can be as big a challenge as actually operating it underwater,” said Herman Biørn Amundesen.

In practice, these added complications mean ROV missions in exposed fish farms are more vulnerable to being cut short by a closing weather window. This, in turn, makes any extra time that can be devoted to net inspection an even more precious commodity. Time is money for aquaculture companies – the more you can get done in a shorter time, the lower the cost.

8 The ROV is currently controlled from a fish farm support vessel on the fish farm.

A shore-based control room in communication with an autonomous ROV is envisaged for the future

Providing the groundwork SINTEF is also working on a related project, CageReporter. Its main objective is to develop sensor systems for high-quality data acquisition from within fish-farming cages using autonomous and non-tethered vehicles, and the transmission of the data acquired to land.

These projects are providing the basis for what could become major changes in how fish are farmed, with the potential to help the industry to produce fish for expanding world markets at low cost in a wider range of environments, and with rapid access to more detailed information on fish health, fish welfare, water quality and cage integrity.

in the water. The vehicle also needs to know exactly where it is in relation to the net, which is constantly moving. That requires technology that can detect the net and accurately gauge the ROV’s distance from it, as well as calculating the vehicle’s speed along the net.

The team that carried out the early work thought using a Doppler velocity log (DVL), horizontally mounted on the frame of the ROV, could be the solution. But they weren’t sure whether a DVL would be capable of locking on consistently to a surface as ill-defined as netting.

DVLs measure velocity relative to a boundary – such as the bottom – by analyzing echoes bounced back from a hard surface. They are also able to measure distance from other types of surfaces accurately using a similar technique. However, these other types of surfaces tend to be a more clearly defined barrier, such as the seabed, rather than a mesh net.

The researchers got in touch with Nortek to see what was possible. Nortek was confident that its DVL1000 instrument would be able to “see” the net as it moved along the circumference of the cage – and that indeed turned out to be the case.

The DVL is part of a package of navigational aids, described

by Walter Caharija as a “sensor fusion”. Ultra-short baseline acoustic positioning (USBL), compass readings, a laser system and the on-board camera all contribute location data. But, in terms of maintaining distance from the cage net, it is the DVL that does the work.

According to Walter Caharija, the Nortek DVL has done the job well. The team used laser measurements to verify those from the DVL and they confirmed its accuracy.

“Nortek is one of the most innovative companies when it comes to subsea technology, especially the DVL. They do a lot of development in-house that makes the instruments very reliable,” he adds.

organic waste produced. This will be used as a fertiliser ingredient or in green energy production.

“When I started working on this project it was immediately apparent to me that our fresh approach would bring so many positives to the table. I have enjoyed working with stakeholders including SEPA and Marine Scotland as we have introduced the first semi-closed farming proposal to Scotland,” said project manager Mark Shotter.

“It has also been very positive to be talking to the local communities and the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority who would host our innovative, lowimpact salmon farm. By addressing the concerns many have about aquaculture, we believe that our farm would be a great fit for the area.”

The proposed farm will comprise four circular marine farming enclosures each with an outer diameter of up to 50 metres and a square harvesting facility with a side length of up to 50 metres, all being semi-closed containment systems.

These enclosures will sit in single file formation in an 80m x 80m mooring grid approximately 300 metres from the western bank of Loch Long.

The farm, which LLS hopes to be operational by 2023, will employ approximately twelve staff in a mix of salmon farming and technical roles encompassing site management, farming and fish health technicians, site engineers and mechanics and a waste system specialist.

This would become Scotland’s first semi-closed fish farm, located at Loch Long near Beinn Reithe in Argyll.

According to LLS, while the Loch Long site would not be suitable or economical for conventional open net aquaculture due to its low current, it is ideal for Scotland’s first semiclosed farm due to its sheltered location, deep water, geographical isolation from other salmon farms, and proximity to a suitable shore base location.

“We are excited to be the first company bringing this transformative farming system to Scotland, and the Loch Long site provides the ideal environment for semi-closed aquaculture,” said LLS director Stewart Hawthorn.

“Our technology will allow salmon farming to thrive in Scotland’s rural coastal areas, such as Loch Long, with a significantly improved environmental and fish welfare performance. We will be working closely with local stakeholders to demonstrate how the proposed farm will be good for the environment, good for the salmon and good for the local community.”

He commented that semi-closed systems have been demonstrated to offer a range of benefits. The conventional salmon farm net is completely enclosed by an impermeable and opaque marine fabric material. This secondary barrier prevents sea lice from reaching the farm and seals from seeing the farmed fish, while trapping most of the salmon faeces and any uneaten feed.

The lack of medicinal or other treatments needed for sea lice has been shown to improve the welfare of the farmed fish overall, and to prevent breeding populations of lice establishing in the enclosures preventing retransmission to wild salmon and trout. Semi-closed farms also do not require anti-seal nets or underwater acoustic seal scaring devices, and therefore have minimal impact on nearby marine wildlife including seals, dolphins, porpoises and whales.

LLS plans for the farm to capture more than 85% of the

SALMON FARMER SWITCHES TO ELECTRIC POWER Salmon farmer Scottish Sea Farms has taken delivery of a hybrid power workboat, the first vessel of its kind to be used in Scotland’s aquaculture sector and another step towards greater sustainability

8 Hybrid vessel Laurence Knight is expected to help achieve CO2 savings of around 234 tonnes a year, as well as potentially cut fuel costs by up to 50% for Scottish Sea Farms

The 15m catamaran, Laurence Knight, was commissioned by Mull-based Inverlussa Marine Services from Norwegian yard Moen Marin and is already in service on Scotland’s west coast.

The boat, which will run primarily on its batteries, marks a massive milestone in both carbon reduction and cost savings, according to Inverlussa managing director Ben Wilson.

“There are similar hybrid vessels in Norway and we thought it was the right time to introduce this technology to our Scottish customers, who are committed to lowering their environmental impact,” he said.

The boat can perform on-farm duties for five to six hours without recharging its batteries from either of the two generators on board.

This means the generators do not need to be running when the boat is tied up alongside a salmon pen, assisting with a harvest or a net installation. With no demand for an overnight generator, noise will be reduced, as well as diesel fuel consumption and the vessel’s carbon footprint.

For Scottish Sea Farms, the new vessel will help achieve CO2 savings of around 234 tonnes a year, as well as potentially cut fuel costs by up to 50%.

The batteries, with a total capacity of 244kW hours, can drive cranes and all other energy requirements, including steaming back and forth. As soon they need to be recharged, the generators kick in automatically, and these can also be recharged from shore power.

With the new boat, data can be collected from the batteries for analysis back on shore. The technology allows

Scottish Sea Farms to manage every individual cell within the battery pack to get the most efficient use out of it.

The batteries have a typical life expectancy of 16 years and are also 100% recyclable. In another clever eco-friendly measure, the water used to cool the batteries is recycled to help heat the four cabins.

Scottish Sea Farms Regional Director for the Mainland Innes Weir said the boat will instil confidence in the future of hybrid technology across the business.

A hybrid power trial currently running on the feed barge at the company’s Spelve farm on Mull has “opened the door”, he said, saving around 83 tonnes of CO2 a year at its peak and showing how the technology can work. But the new workboat goes further.

“The system we have at Spelve is to pick up anything other than feeding fish. As soon as we need to feed, we turn the generator on. If we can operate a hybrid system that is completely electric, with generators just used for recharging batteries, we can roll it out across our estate, on the barges and other energy rich areas we want to hybridise.”

Laurence Knight brings Inverlussa’s fleet up to 17 vessels and five new jobs have been created to crew the boat in shift patterns.

“I think this type of vessel is going to become more common in the Scottish salmon farming sector as producers look for greener solutions,” Ben Wilson added.

“It’s an exciting project and we’re looking forward to getting it going.”

RUTH DELIVERED TO HIRTSHALS OWNERS The previous Ruth didn’t stay long with its Hirtshals-based owners, sold within a few months of completion to Halstensen in Norway to become Slaaterøy, while an order for a new pelagic vessel was placed. The latest Ruth has now been delivered, starting its fishing career on mackerel with a first landing in the Faroe Islands 8 Gullak Madsen’s new Ruth started fishing on mackerel

This latest Ruth was delivered to Gullak Madsen by the Karstensen yard last month, and has been completed on a hull built at the yard’s shipbuilding facility in Poland.

The 89.35 metre Ruth has a 17 metre moulded breadth and has a 3590 cubic metre carrying capacity in 16 tanks, arranged around the RSW pump and manifold room.

The new vessel is built to the yard’s own design to Gullak Madsen’s specifications, and the outcome is the result of close co-operation between the yard’s design team and the owners. The focus is on providing the best possible working, conditions, safety and comfort for the crew, while also optimising catch handling, storage and fuel consumption.

“To create best possible design for low noise, accommodation is located as far away from the propeller as possible. In addition, a number of constructive steps were made, in order to create a low noise level. During trails noise measurements showed levels well below any requirements and recommendations,” said Kent Damgaard at Karstensens Skibsværft.

“The vessel design, specification and arrangements are a result of an extensive and close co-operation between owners and yard, with all solutions are optimised and tailored to suit Gullak Madsen’s and his crew’s specific requirements.”

To reach these goals, Ruth is fitted out with the latest hightech machinery and equipment, including a MAN 9L32/44 CR main engine driving a 4500mm VBS1100 propeller via a Scana Volda ACG980/PF680 reduction gearbox with a 2700 kW/3375kVA shaft alternator run from the PTO. Auxiliary engines are a set of three Cummins QSK38-DM units, each developing 1002kWe, plus a single 538kWe Cummins QSK19-DM harbour set.

NEWBUILDS

The newest longliner delivered to Norwegian fishing company Ervik Havfiske follows a familiar pattern, designed by Marin Teknikk and built in Turkey by Tersan.

The ice-class, UK-flagged Argos Helena is built to fish for toothfish in the southern hemisphere and is the sixth of its kind for the company, joining Frøyanes Junior and Vestkapp which were delivered in 2020.

Built to Marin Teknikk’s MT1112 L design, Argos Helena has a 60.50 metre overall length with a 13 metre beam, laid out with a moonpool for hauling the longline straight into a sheltered area where catches are stripped off the line and passed to the processing deck.

Power is supplied by a Yanmar main engine and there is accommodation on board for up to 30 persons.

The new Argos Helena was christened by its godmother Hildegunn Aarsheim at a ceremony held at the shipyard and attended by 70 guests from Norway.

As well as being Tersan’s hundredth newbuild, this is the eleventh fishing vessel designed by Marin Teknikk for Ervik Havfiske, and a number of Norwegian companies are among those supplying equipment for Argos Helena.
