FIBRE-OPTIC TRAWL DATA BREAKTHROUGH A new fibre-optic data cable developed by Hampiðjan represents a breakthrough in the speed at which data can be channelled from trawl sensors to a trawler’s wheelhouse The company has been quietly developing its DynIce Optical Data cable for some years, focusing on overcoming the challenges of protecting the vulnerable fibre itself from elongation and bending forces in a protective jacket around three fibres within the cable itself.

DynIce Optical Data is already subject to a patent application, plus Hampiðjan has applied for further patents on a variety of processes and techniques that have arisen from the development of robust protection for the delicate fibre optics.

This development has significant implications for trawl gear electronics. Conventional copper and steel cables have been in use for more than sixty years to route signals from headline sonars to catching vessels, but in recent years the problem has been that these cables are where the bottleneck in development lies – as increasingly sophisticated electronics have far outstripped the data transfer capacity available.

Now the first DynIce Optical Data cable is at sea with Icelandic pelagic vessel Beitir as the first full-scale seagoing trials with this revolutionary new cable are being carried out.

IRISH ROPE-GROWN MUSSELS AWARDED MSC LABEL

8 Celebrating certification; Jim O’Toole of BIM, the MSC’s Jo Pollett and mussel farmer Michael Mulloy

Ireland’s rope grown mussel fishery has been awarded Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification. As certification for both rope-grown and bottom-grown mussels is held by Ireland’s seafood development agency Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM), this means that the entire Irish mussel fishery under BIM management is MSC certified.

“The prestigious certification achieved allows for a unique national approach where all mussel growers operating in licensed harvest locations in Ireland can now label their mussels with the MSC ecolabel, showing that they are MSC certified as sustainable and from a well-managed fishery,” said BIM’s CEO Jim O’Toole.

“Ireland’s mussel industry is export focussed and MSC certification of Irish rope-grown mussels provides valuable evidence to the marketplace of the sustainable environment in which our seafood is produced.”

Give the fish a chance – why?

Technical development is our friend. In competently managed fisheries, why add restrictions to give fish a misplaced opportunity to escape?

As the top end of the fishing industry continues to become increasingly technologically advanced, that old chestnut pops up yet again – the complaint that the fish don’t stand a chance.

In this issue you’ll see featured the latest step into the future. After much research, development and solving challenging problems, fishing gear supplier Hampiðjan has come up with a way to route fibre-optic capability between trawl and trawler, opening up a wealth of possibilities, such as real-time imaging from the trawl gear, better and faster gear and fish data, and undoubtedly new technologies and techniques that have yet to be dreamed up.

So seemed worth preempting the inevitable groans of dismay as those who would prefer to live forever in a rose-tinted past complain that the poor fish don’t stand a chance these days.

They said the same when engines replaced sails, when the first Asdic sets were used to locate marks, when nylon first replaced cotton, when Loran and Decca made positioning quick and accurate; in fact, without exception, the same disparaging criticism accompanies every technological development.

But why should the fish stand a chance? This is commercial fishing we’re talking about here, not leisure fishing – which ceases to become a sport as soon as the element of chance is lost.

Lambs and piglets on their way to become chops and sausages don’t stand a chance. Salmon in cages aren’t given a sporting chance to make a run for it. There’s plenty of wildlife that’s indiscriminately wiped out as part and parcel of modern high-tech agriculture and the demand for cheap bread, but this isn’t the place to talk about bees and neonicotinoids.

So why fish?

Technical development is our friend. In competently managed fisheries, why add restrictions to give fish a misplaced opportunity to escape? More technology, better understanding of fish behaviour and the environment they live in means fishing becomes more efficient and arguably more more selective. Why spend three months burning fuel and catching those fish when you can do it in six weeks?

It seems to be an attitude that’s directed at only a handful of industries, as in virtually every other sector – from construction to electronics to logistics and beyond – smarter thinking, better technology and greater efficiency are normally welcomed with open arms, especially if it means consumers get something cheaper.

For some reason fishing seems to be the exception.

But the critics can take heart. The vast majority of fishing takes place in parts of the world where an outboard is as high-tech as it gets. The fish are going to keep their chance to evade fishermen for a long time yet.

hybrid propulsion system with battery package.

According to Marin Teknikk’s sales director Richard Gjerde, as the vessel will have a variety of operating profiles, it is important to tune engines, propeller and thrusters properly to achieve reduced fuel consumption and emissions.

“The best possible design and systems have been the main focus in order to achieve a very environmentally friendly ship,” he

said, commenting that it will be fitted out with a 76,000 hook autoline system, a complete seine netting setup and an automated factory deck for both fillets and H&G production.

The factory deck will focus on careful handling and quality, and will be equipped with systems for handling production waste. To keep quayside time a minimum, the fishroom will be palletised to simplify discharging.

A number of well-known Norwegian suppliers are among those providing equipment for the new vessel as it takes shape at the Tersan yard in Turkey.

“This will be the sixth Marin Teknikk-designed vessel to be built at Tersan Shipyard,” Richard Gjerde said. “We have worked closely with Olav Østervold and the family since late 2017 and feel that this is an acknowledgement of our work in designing safe, functional, environmentally friendly and costeffective fishing vessels that are specially adapted to the needs for this exceptional fishing company.”

LOBSTER FERTILITY UNDER THE MICROSCOPE IN SCOTLAND Marine scientists in Scotland have successfully trialled a new method for investigating the fertility of the European lobster.

Researchers at Heriot-Watt University and Orkney Sustainable Fisheries have proved that their non-invasive method, adapted from a technique used on lobsters in America, allows scientists supporting fishery management to monitor lobster egg numbers quickly while minimising loss.

Understanding and monitoring lobster fertility will help make the stocks more sustainable, the Orkney-based scientists say. The European lobster makes up almost 10% of the value of all shellfish caught in Scotland, fetching up to £20 per kg.

“Until now, we had to remove the lobsters from the water, scrape all the eggs off and count them. This is time consuming, invasive and wastes lobster spawn,” said Orkney Sustainable Fisheries senior marine scientist Matthew Coleman.

“Our method relies on taking three simple measurements of a lobster’s egg mass and eggs. The egg mass’s overall length, its depth across five points and the size of a small number of eggs, which are carefully removed.

From these measurements, we can accurately estimate the

8 A new approach to assessing lobster fertility contributes to conservation of this important commercial species

number of eggs the animal is carrying without damaging the lobster,” he explained.

“We adapted this from the method used for American lobsters. We couldn’t just replicate the technique they use over there, as European lobsters produce larger eggs compared to their American cousins. This small difference, if unaccounted for, would provide inaccurate estimates of egg numbers. This method has already enabled us to find out more about the European lobster’s fertility. We found that egg loss from when lobster first start to carry their eggs until the

larvae hatch is around 44% – before, it was assumed it was close to zero. Now we can calculate lobster fertility and egg production in five minutes instead of 24 hours; that’s hugely beneficial to fishery managers.”

According to Dr Michael Bell, a research fellow at Heriot-Watt’s International Centre for Island Technology in Orkney, it is important to understand how lobsters become more productive and how their egg numbers increase as they grow, as this supports conservation of the spawning population.

“That’s the future of the fishery. Having an easy to replicate, quick method will allow us to monitor any changes in fertility that haven’t been noted historically,” he said.

“In the USA they’ve already seen a drop in lobster egg numbers related to rising sea temperatures, which highlights the importance of monitoring lobsters here in Scotland and the UK. Lobster and other inshore fisheries, while often overlooked at a national scale, are of huge importance in supporting flourishing coastal and island communities in areas like Orkney.

They make a vital contribution to supporting traditional ways of life and maintaining local character.”

RFC AND AGAMA TO BUILD SECOND MURMANSK FACTORY The Russian Fishery Company (RFC) and the Agama Group are joining forces to build a second onshore processing plant in Murmansk, with construction about the start and the factory scheduled to be commissioned next year.

The Russian Haddock factory follows the construction of the Russian Cod plant, which is nearing completion in Murmansk.

“The agreement signed with the Agama Group extends our cooperation, which has already proved its success. Together we produce premium quality pollock products under the joint AgamaNordeco brand and have almost completed the first partnership project in the field of coastal

processing development,” commented Fedor Kirsanov.

The Russian Haddock project is being implemented within the state programme of investment quotas. Once commissioned the enterprise will receive quotas around 1000 tonnes of cod and haddock per year.

INSIGHT The Future of Fishing

CROSSING BORDERS While EU seafood exports are in the ascendance, the growing appetite for seafood among European consumers continues to elevate the importance of imported products, writes Jason Holland

8 The EU bloc’s per capita consumption has now extended beyond 24kg and there’s an upward trend among almost all of the main commercial species consumed

by Europeans

Growing consumer awareness of the health and other benefits is among the foremost drivers of increased seafood consumption in the EU, the world’s largest market for fishery and aquaculture products.

According to the latest review of seafood trade trends by the European Market Observatory for Fisheries and Aquaculture Products (EUMOFA), to meet the EU-28’s almost insatiable demand for products, its supply – comprising domestic production and imports – has continued to grow.

EUMOFA’s analysis finds that in 2018, EU imports from thirdcountries increased by 4% in volume and 2% in value over the previous year, reaching 6 million tonnes with a value of €25.9 billion. Of these imports, salmonids (€5.8 billion), crustaceans (€4.8 billion) and groundfish (€4.5 billion) were the most imported commodity groups, representing 58% of the total extra-EU import value.

The main contributors to the overall increase were groundfish (€203 million more), fish for non-food use (+€189 million) and cephalopods (+€151 million). Meanwhile, the largest decrease in value was recorded for crustaceans, which fell by 3% or €154 million year-on-year, mainly due to the fall in warmwater shrimp prices. An 18% or €100 million decrease in value was also observed for bivalves and other molluscs and aquatic invertebrates.

Of the total volume of products imported, groundfish experienced by far the largest increase, growing by 110 million tonnes, or about 40% of the total increase for all products.

The EU imports fisheries and aquaculture products from nearly 150 countries around the world, but in 2018 almost 50% of the total value was sourced from only five countries: Norway and China with €6.5 billion and €1.8 billion respectively, and Ecuador, Morocco and Iceland with €1.3 billion each.

SALMON SUCCESS In terms of species, the EU’s standout import is Atlantic salmon, which dominates the salmonid commodity group. Conveniently located, Norway supplies most of this fish – last year providing 716,000 tonnes of the fish, valued at €4.7 billion. This represented a 9% increase in volume, a 6% rise in value, and accounted for 83% of the EU’s total salmon imports.

Largely thanks to Scottish production, the EU is also a salmon exporter. However, the bloc’s exports to overseas markets fell by 7% to 80,500 tonnes last year. These shipments were valued at €640 million. EUMOFA attributes this decline almost entirely to a decrease in shipments to the United States, which is the EU’s largest salmon market.

Exports to the States in 2018 totalled 24,000 tonnes worth €212.7 million, a decrease of 25% in volume and 22% in value from a year earlier. The volume sent to China also declined last year – to 10,900 tonnes (-4%), although the value increased 1% to €84.1 million.

EXPORT UPSWING Overall, EU exports to third-countries grew rapidly last year – up by 5% in volume and 4% in value to 2 million tonnes valued at €5.1 billion. This growth was largely driven by tuna and tuna-like species, which increased in value by 15% or €101 million over 2017.

EUMOFA highlighted that skipjack tuna exports to markets outside the EU reached 186,600 tonnes, up by 34% over 2017, with a value of €287 million (+10%). Spain, Italy, Germany, and France are the largest producers of skipjack tuna products, including tuna harvested by member states’ fleets in distant waters for delivery to foreign tuna processors..

crustaceans with an increase of 17% or €77 million year-on-year, groundfish up 14% or €51 million, and an 18% or €33 million rise in the cephalopod value.

The largest declines in EU exports were experienced by salmonids, which registering a drop of 7% or €53 million, and small pelagics which were down 4% or €26 million year-on-year.

Of the 182 countries to which EU exports were destined in 2018, five markets accounted for 48% or €2.5 billion of the total export value. EUMOFA notes that exports to China grew by €170 million in 2018, but that sales to the EU’s second largest market, the United States, fell by 4%. Value gains were also seen in exports to Switzerland (+4%), Norway (+3%), and to Japan (+20%) over 2017.

In volume terms, last year’s leading export markets were Nigeria, Norway, China, Egypt and Ukraine, which together accounted for 45% of shipments. Exports to Nigeria grew by 60,000 tonnes or 24% over 2017 levels. At the same time, exports to Norway climbed by less than 1%, and those to China rose by 12%. The only decline amongst the leading markets was in Egypt, where EU exports fell by 10,400 tonnes or 8%. EU exports to Ukraine grew by 14% compared to the previous year.

INTRA-EUROPEAN INCREASE Last but not least, seafood trading between the 28 member states continued to slightly exceed imports from non-EU countries, growing by 3% in volume and 2% in value to 7 million tonnes and €27.3 billion. Salmonids are the most traded species among EU member states, with the 2018 volume totalling 1 million tonnes valued at €8.4 billion, with salmon accounting for 974,100 tonnes and €7.8 billion. The groundfish commerce reached 993,000 tonnes and €3.6 billion, followed by

crustaceans at 343,000 tonnes worth €3.1 billion. The largest increase in intra-EU export values was seen in salmonids, which grew by 6% or €475 million. In volume terms, this trade increased by 9% or 90,000 tonnes over 2017. Groundfish also registered significant gains, up by 9% in volume and 4% in value from the previous year.

EUMOFA also highlights that the skipjack trade between EU member states has risen significantly in recent years. In 2018, these volumes reached 181,500 tonnes with a value of €797.1 million, up by 9% in both volume and value compared with 2017, and from 2016 by 21% and 31% in volume and value, respectively.

Its analysis identified that those member states accounting for the largest overall gains in intra-EU trade include some of the most active EU traders. Poland had the largest increase in 2018 intra-EU exports with a gain of 46,000 tonnes or 14%, valued at €232 million (+19%).

The Netherlands, with the so called “Rotterdam effect” caused by the large number of EU member states’ goods that arrive in Dutch ports, was next with an increase of 14% in volume and 6% in value. Italy followed with an increase of 2% in both export volume and value.

Despite the higher rise in intra-EU and third-country trades, brought by modest production growth, the region’s trade balance in fisheries and aquaculture products continues to run ever deeper into the red. In fact, this trade deficit reached a record €20.8 billion last year, an increase of 2% compared with 2017. Measured in volume terms, the shortfall grew by 4% to 4 million tonnes. And with no dramatic shift expected to the seafood landscape, EU nations will have to look increasingly beyond their own borders to satisfy the rising local demand.

NEWHORIZONS

Focusing on Fishery Development

RUSSIAN INDUSTRY HEADS FOR FURTHER CONSOLIDATION Even more consolidation is expected to take place in the Russian fisheries sector, as major players strengthen their positions, reports Eugene Gerden Russia’s fishing sector has become an attractive one in recent years, attracting increased investment, resulting in the emergence of a number of large vertically integrated holdings that have been able to secure significant shares of the quotas allocated by the Russian government and the Federal Agency for Fisheries.

One the largest players is the Russian Fishery Company (RFC), owned by tycoon Frank Gleb, who has recently announced further expansion of the business, while there are also indications that RFC plans to expand into commercial salmon production in the Kamchatka region.

With its interests in demersal and pelagic, as well as it expansion into the crab industry, RFC could be joining the list of the world’s largest multi-diversified fish groups, as it continues to develop its business activities – including the commencement of work on what will become the largest processing plant in the Russian Far East. The company is also investing in catching capacity, reportedly planning to put an estimated $100 million per vessel into nine new trawlers. RFC

currently controls around 342,000 tonnes of fish quotas, making it Russia’s third largest quota holder.

The Sakhalin Island company, owned by a well-known Russian senator Alexander Verkhosky, holds 427,000 tonnes of quotas, while Norebo – Russia’s largest fish producer and owned by billionaire Vitaly Orlov – controls around 437,000 tonnes, and is also expanding. An initial order was placed with the Severnaya Shipyard in St Petersburg for a series of six factory trawlers for northern waters, and this has been followed by the option for a further four vessels that are expected to operate in the Far East.

The new trawlers will be delivered to Norebo over a several years, with the lead vessel completed next year and the remainder of the series delivered before 2023.

According to recent statements by Alexey Zaplatin, general manager of the Arkhangelsk Trawler Fleet (part of the Northwest Fisheries Consortium,) the company has already invested US$110 million in the construction of four trawlers, that will operate on demersal species in north-western Russian waters, and there are plans for still more investments.

Industry analysts also expect changes to take place with the forthcoming introduction of quota auctions to the Russian fish industry (which are scheduled already for the end of 2019), resulting in the further strengthening of positions of major local players and withdrawal of smaller producers out of the market.

The introduction of auctions had been sharply criticised by many fish producers in Russia. The quota auctions are not

supposed to replace the current regime of quota allocation on a track record basis, and the largest conflicts are expected to occur over crab quotas. This is understandable, taking into account the crab sector’s high profit margins. In the case of the Russian crab industry, according to industry analysts, virtually 100% of the crab business in in the hands of a group of fewer than 10 companies and businessmen.

ANALYSIS

AQUACULTURE IN THE SPOTLIGHT IN RUSSIA’S FAR EAST The Russian government is taking steps to expand territory available to fish farms in the Far East, even though this could come with possible negative effects for local fisheries, reports Vladislav Vorotnikov The regional government has excluded 20,000ha of water area in Primorsky Krai from the list of national territories subject to special protection so they could become eligible for building fish farms, according to the Russian Far East Development Fund (FEDF), which expects that the Far East territories where fish farms may be established could be expanded by at least 25%.

Russia’s Far East offers significant opportunity to develop aquaculture. The water area within the Russian boundaries is 360 million ha, of which 65 million could be used to grow fish and seafood, according to FEDF’s estimates.

The Far East is one of the most promising regions in the world in terms of aquaculture development, but production performance in this part of Russia has been hampered in recent years by legal uncertainties, according to Roman Vityazev, cochairman of the Russian Far Eastern Union of Aquaculture Associations. As of 2018, the local fisheries were producing around 3 million tonnes of fish and seafood per year, while the production performance of fish farms was limited to only 10,000 tonnes per year, he estimated.

With some changes in the local laws, the Far Eastern regions could possibly boost production by 500,000 tonnes per year by 2030 to a total value of around Rub150 billion ($2.3 billion), he said, commenting that investments of around Rub100 billion ($1.5 billion) would be needed to achieve this. However, it is unlikely that this scenario could come about, as there are obstacles that discourage potential investors from launching new projects in the Far East.

In 2018, Russian aquaculture production totalled 239,000 tonnes, 9% up as compared to the same period of the previous year. The Russian Federal Agency for Fisheries expects the industry to continue growing at between 5% and 10% on average per year. By 2030, Russian fish farms are expected to reach a 600,000 tonne annual production, according to Ilya Shestakov, director of the Federal Agency for Fisheries.

The authorities have been taking steps to expand the areas available to aquaculture, he said, adding that as the industry’s development has been delayed the results of its efforts should be seen in the next couple of years.

EXPANDING TERRITORY There is a huge geographical difference in terms of aquaculture development, according the Agency’s deputy director Vasily Sokolov, stating that as a rule, production tends to be located close to consumers in the European part of the country, and in the regions where there are no major wild fish catches, he said, adding that Murmansk Oblast was the only exception from this rule, since in that region both fishing and fish farming industries are rather strong.

The problem is that in Russia the development of aquaculture comes under regional authorities, and without concerted efforts at an official level aimed at supporting this business sector, fish farms have poor chances of survival. As of today, there is a strong imbalance, as some regions have already made efforts to support aquaculture, while some have not, Vasily Sokolov admitted.

12 | SEPTEMBER 2019

It is clear that the Far East is among those parts of the country that lags behind, but the Russian government is taking steps to secure growth in the aquaculture industry. In 2018, the authorities launched an online platform where potential investors could acquire a water areas for their projects.

As of today, the overall size of the Far East aquatic areas where fish farms are already built or planned to be built is estimated at 80,000 ha, of which 60,000 ha have been allocated during the past one and a half years, Alexey Chikunov, chairman of FEDF said. This means that the industry is developing exceptionally rapidly, he stressed.

In addition, the Russian federal government is now considering allocating waters currently used by commercial fisheries to the construction of fish farms. The relevant proposal to the government has been recently submitted by the Russian Far East Development Ministry.

For decades, the fishing industry was a top priority for the Russian authorities in the Far East. Far East Development Minister Alexander Galushka said that it is directly prohibited by law in Russia to build fish farms in any territories used by fisheries. He explained that as the result of this, the aquaculture

ANALYSIS

The Russian federal government is now considering allocating waters currently used by commercial fisheries to the construction of fish farms. The relevant proposal to the government has been recently submitted by the Russian Far East Development Ministry industry had been virtually non-existent in some particular regions, such as Sakhalin Oblast, where most of the coastline is used by commercial fisheries.

The proposal to change legislation in favour of fish farms was already under consideration in 2016, but was not approved for reasons that were not disclosed. Now, this proposal has been already introduced on the national programme of Far East development up to 2025, which means that there are is a strong chance that some areas used by fisheries could be available for fish farmers as early 2020, when the programme is slated to come into force.

It remains to be seen how these changes could affect fisheries. A spokesman for a local fishing company who preferred to not be named said that it was not clear what areas the new fish farms in the Far East would ask for. In theory, it would take years or decades for the local aquaculture industry to grow to a size large enough to become an obstacle for fisheries, but this could happen.

Herman Zverev, president of the All-Russian Association of Fisheries Enterprises, Entrepreneurs and Exporters commented that in his opinion there should be a synergy between the fisheries and fish farms. He said that in that case the holders of rights to aquatic areas would be able to use them more effectively, continuing fishing and developing fish farming business side-by-side.

In general, the new government decision could become a driver for growth in the aquaculture industry and give an impetus for development of processing and storing infrastructure in the Russian Far East, Herman Zverev said and added that he has no doubt that Russian aquaculture production could find outlets on both domestic and international markets.

Some carriers transporting fish from the Far East to European Russia have gone bankrupt, so in September and October the fishing industry in this part of the country could experience severe logistics problems as there could be a shortage of rolling stock to transport fish to consumers, according to Pavel Ivankin, spokesperson of the Russian Institute of Rail Transport. Local officials are already warning that there is a shortage of capacity.

Some companies have already begun shipping fish from the Far East to European Russia by sea, and Maersk has made first shipments from Vladivostok via the Indian Ocean to St. Petersburg, although so far this is only a small proportion of goods transported, but the problems of shipping from production areas in the Far East to the consumption areas in Western Russia could yet have a serious effect on the future of aquaculture in the Russian Far East

8 Russia could double aquaculture production in the next decade

8 The Russian fishing industry in the Far East is struggling with logistics challenges

GOOD CONDITIONS, WEAK MARKET The Russian Far East occupies 41.1% of the country’s territory, but is home to only 5.6% of the population, or 8.2 million and this figure has a downward tendency. Since 1991 the local population has fallen by 1.8 million people, and forecasts state that the Far East could lose around 21% of its population by 2050. The federal government is struggling against this tendency with a number of different programmes, including by giving a free piece of land to every citizen or household willing to move from the European part of Russia to the Far East, but so far without success.

It has been predicted that the aquaculture industry in the Russian Far East could experience the same challenges as the fishing industry, as finished products have to be transported around 9000km to reach consumers in the more denselypopulated European part of Russia.

The companies transporting fish in special containers suffered losses of Rub450 million ($7 million) in 2017 and Rub280 million ($4 million) in 2018, estimated Mikhail Sinev, president of the Russian Association of Refrigerated Rolling Stock Operators. The reason is that the tariffs on refrigerated rolling stock on the Russian railways jumped by 140% to 230% since 2012, he said.

OPTICAL-SPEED DATA TRANSFER – A NEW WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY According to Hampiðjan CEO Hjörtur Erlendsson, each of the three fibres encased in the DynIce Optical Data cable has capacity to send 10gb of data per second

He said that this opens up possibilities for both existing technology, with electronics manufacturers currently struggling to work around the limitations of conventional cables, as well as for new technologies that are starting to emerge. Hampiðjan has already been working with Star-Oddi and the Marine Research Institute in Iceland, as well as with Simrad. The co-operation in Iceland has centred around developing a trawl-mounted scanner capable of analysing catch composition in terms of size and species – which the high data capacity of the DynIce Optical Data cable makes a realistic possibility.

“What would be ideal would to be able to see the fish as they enter the trawl, obtaining images of individual fish on their way to the codend, along with size and species analysis. Our aspiration is that we could make it possible to grade the fish in the trawl, retaining the target speciesand sizes, and releasing everything else,” he said.

“This kind of technology hasn’t been a realistic possibility until now because of the data transfer bottleneck, and this would go a long way towards eliminating discards. This is the kind of development that we want to enable and support.”

Hjörtur Erlendsson added that electronics suppliers such as Simrad have already shown a keen interest, adding that Simrad in particular has immediately adjusted its priorities away from focusing on compacting data as far as possible for transfer via conventional technology as soon as they became aware of the opportunities that a fibre-optic link to the fishing gear could offer.

“There is a great deal of development to be done on trawl sensors now once the limitations of conventional cables are removed,” he said.

“The first step is that skippers will be able to make fuller use of the sensors that are already mounted on headlines and

elsewhere on the trawl gear. We work extensively with fishing skippers and much of this work involves material from trawlmounted cameras that provides information on fish behaviour – which is hugely valuable for us in refining and developing trawl gear. So skippers are very interested in the possibilities of real-time imaging from the trawl gear, both for selectivity reasons – being able to target or avoid marks of fish depending on the species –and in terms of learning more about fish behaviour. This kind of information is also what we need to understand how fish behave so that we can design the trawls they need.”

Although the DynIce Optical Data cable is now a reality, it’s still going to be a while before it becomes available.

“We are working with Beitir’s owners, Síldarvinnslan, on this and there are are trials taking place over the coming weeks as we assess its performance under working conditions,” Hampiðjan’s development manager Jón Atli Magnússon said, commenting that this is an innovation that initially has implications for fishing, while there is also strong interest from the research sector and other subsea industries that recognise what it offers, not least as DynIce Optical Data combines its data capacity with exceptionally high strength.

“The fibre optics themselves are glass threads that are finer than a hair, have no elongation tolerance and limited bending tolerance, so it has been challenging to come up with the protection that this needs – but we feel we are there now,” he said, commenting that it has been a demanding process to get this far, and technical fund Rannís has supported the work and resources the company has put into this.

“This opens up a new world of opportunities,” he said. “I’m sure that we are going to see more applications for this that we haven’t so far been aware of, which will allow Hampiðjan access to a range of new markets.”

With over a dozen Irish pelagic and polyvalent vessels currently working south of Ireland and as far down as the Bay of Biscay in their attempt to fill their annual albacore tuna quota, SNG tuna trawls are a strong presence in this fishery.

Unlike conventional pelagic or demersal trawls, tuna nets need to be designed to allow for the speed required for this fishery but at the same time need to have strength for surface fishing.

SNG’s typical tuna trawls are 665 and 973m in size and the company is constantly looking for ways to improve on existing versions. The latest design has a front section diamond mesh configuration with twisted right-hand lay nylon twine (or optional left/right lay nylon twine) with an optional two sections of hexagonal mesh between the trawl mouth and tunnel.

The inclusion of a square mesh section between the trawl and the brailer has been an added advantage for those in the tuna fishery, as this section will stay open and hold its shape better to allow flow of water and ease the fish back to the codend, which in turn keeps the gear keep fishing longer.

This, and the other innovations in SNG’s tuna trawl has brought much positive feedback from skippers who state that the trawls are easy to shoot and to tow compared to previous designs

Manufactured in a twisted or braided nylon netting, SNG are offering those involved in this fishery the choice of a conventional four-panel

With the codends available in 42, 48, 54 & 70m sizes, many skippers now prefer to have these made in black braided nylon netting and, with SNG’s innovative new DynIce Band and Handle System which does away with the need for steel rings at the splitter section – thus making the gear much lighter.

BIM ASSESSES T90 MESH FOR WHITEFISH DISCARD REDUCTION As outlined in BIM’s Business of Seafood, nephrops continue to dominate as the highest value species in the Irish demersal fishing sector with landings of 7200 tonnes worth €56m at first point of sale in 2018. Whitefish species also remain economically important with monkfish, megrim, hake, whiting and haddock, predominantly caught in the Celtic Sea, providing a return of €46m in 2018.

These species are primarily caught in mixed demersal trawl fisheries that are impacted by the landing obligation which is largely implemented through the discard plan for NorthWestern Waters. This plan contains survivability and de minimis exemptions which permit some continued discarding, and prescribed selective gear options that aim to avoid unwanted catches during fishing. The new gear measures came into force in the Celtic Sea on the 1st July 2019.

Vessels targeting nephrops are relatively well prepared to address the discard plan. Gear options such as the 300mm square mesh panel (SMP) and SELTRA panel that greatly reduce unwanted fish catches have been successfully tested, developed and implemented by BIM and the Irish fishing industry. Emanating from a BIM study, the nephrops survivability exemption in ICES subarea 7 also assists – rather than landing and having them deducted from quotas, large numbers of living juvenile nephrops can be put back to sea, with major biological and economic benefits for the fishery.

Nephrops and whitefish vessels also benefit from de minimis exemptions of 6 to 7% for cod, haddock and whiting, and survivability exemptions for plaice and skates and rays.

Exemptions aside, a raft of new gear requirements pose challenges for vessels targeting whitefish species in the Celtic Sea. Although yet to be tested, one of the options identified as having major potential to reduce unwanted catches comprises 90mm T90 mesh in the codend and extension piece.

Led by Daragh Browne with assistance from Matthew McHugh, the gear was assessed on board Foyle Fisher from Greencastle.

Catches from the 90mm T90 codend were compared against a traditional 80mm diamond codend using a twin-rig trawl configuration deployed in ICES 7j and g in early May. Results revealed a tale of two stories in relation to effects on different species and associated directed fisheries. Major differences occurred in the size of retained roundfish species.

Undersize catches were reduced by around 90% in the case of whiting and haddock, and 60% for cod in the T90 gear.

Due to the increased size and orientation of the T90 mesh, market sized whiting (>31 cm) were reduced by 60%. Other larger roundfish fared better. Likely due to greater water flow and trawl performance, market sized haddock and hake catches increased by 41% and 29% respectively. Results indicate that the gear generally works well for roundfish species, but due to substantial losses of market sized fish, the traditional directed fishery for whiting would likely be better served by one of the other gear options in the discard plan.

Previous BIM research suggests that the 80mm T90 codend with a 160mm SMP might be a useful option and warrants further investigation in this regard.

Little difference occurred in catches of flatfish such as 16 | SEPTEMBER 2019

Trials with 90mm T90 codends showed major reductions in catches of undersize roundfish and no loss in flatfish species, reports BIM Fisheries Conservation Manager Dr Ronán Cosgrove

megrim, plaice and lemon sole, but monkfish catches increased by 56% in the T90 gear. The latter result is difficult to explain but may be linked to increased water flow through T90 meshes and resulting effects on trawl geometry and spread.

Whatever the reason, results are extremely positive for vessels targeting monk and megrim given such increases in a key target species, and major reductions in unwanted catches of undersize roundfish species.

BIM would like to thank Mick Gillen and the crew of Foyle Fisher for an excellent collaboration, and John George Harrington or assistance with on board sampling.

Naust Marine has long been one of the Icelandic tech companies with a strong customer base overseas for its pioneering winch and electrical systems.

The company has seen plenty of growth in the last few years, having established its own manufacturing base with its subsidiary Naust Marine Spain, and with much of the growth taking place in Russia as its fleet goes through a rapid phase of regeneration.

This year Naust Marine has also delivered winch systems in three US factory trawlers, operating from Dutch Harbour in Alaska.

expected to operate on groundfish, rigged for single and twin-rig trawling. To provide flexible operating options, Naust Marine came up with

an original concept that allows two winches to double as either net drums or trawl winches, giving them options for twin-rigging, or working pelagic gear if required.

“It’s a big package,” he said. “There are 43 winches altogether for each trawler – which also includes all of the smaller boom handling winches and capstans they require for transhipping. Ice gallows are also offered. They also have Naust Marine’s ATW autotrawl, so there wouldn’t be a problem to add a fourth winch if that was needed at some point.”

The Norebo trawlers are fitted with Naust Marine’s AC electrical winches, but the company is unique in being able to offer both AC and DC winch systems.

“Not long ago we supplied trawling winches for Icelandic trawler Blængur, replacing Brusselle winches that dated back to 1996. They also have a Naust Marine ATW that’s 23 years old and we asked if they wanted that replaced as well, and they said as it works fine, there was no reason to change the control system with the DC control,” he said.

PERFECT PAIRING FOR BRISTOL BAY One of the largest US heavy-gauge aluminium boatbuilders, North River Boats is now offering a prop-driven fishing vessel designed specifically for Bristol Bay

8 North River Boats developed its 10-metre Bristol Bay boats to meet the needs of Bristol Bay’s fleet Inset: The 429kW John Deere engine for its power and reliability

Based at Roseburg, Oregon, North River Boats has around 10,000 deliveries behind it, having specialised for decades in jet-propulsion vessels. Now the company has produced a conventional prop-driven boat that has been developed to meet the needs of Bristol Bay’s fishermen.

Sales director Mike Blocher explained that they were approached with enquiries at an exhibition, after which he and the company’s general manager travelled to Bristol Bay to get a feel for the fishery there, and to find out for themselves what works and what doesn’t.

“Bristol Bay is unlike any other fishery,” he said. “Most fishermen want boats that pack 7257kg in a fish hold, and they want a recirculating seawater system to get the fish cold quickly. The goal of a lot of fishermen in Bristol Bay is to run fast with as much weight as they can, so that they can get an extra set or two during the tide.”

The choice went to a proven hull design with a good layout for both comfort and fishing.

“The one that stood out is the Dick Smitha hull and it works very well with weight in the fish holds. A typical Smitha hull with a single jet and ample horsepower will pack more than 3000kg of floated fish on plane. This is what we were looking for. When I got back from my first trip to Bristol Bay, I called Dick Smitha, who owned NorCraft Marine & Design. It just so happened that he was planning to retire and wanted a succession plan for his design, and we licensed it,” he said.

The result is North River’s Bristol Bay fishing boat, ten metres long and with a four metre breadth, capable of holding 7000kg of fish. The power comes from a single John Deere PowerTech 575hp (429kW) 6135SFM85 engine driving a robust hydraulic system fitted with hard-lined stainless-steel tubing. Four 18 | SEPTEMBER 2019

hydraulic pumps drive a 10-inch (254mm) hydraulic thruster, the deck gear, and a nine tonne hydraulic recirculating seawater system that cools fish to 1°C. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION “When the boats came out of the water, I went back up to Bristol Bay and started distributing information about our hull design. I ended up meeting Marty Stevens who had been fishing for more than 30 years and was ready for a new boat. He wanted a boat big enough to pack a lot of weight and that would chill fish fast, and he wanted a robust steering system that wasn't going to fail. The Bristol Bay has a wheel drive on the deck gear, which provides more pulling capacity and torque so that you can pull a net and pick fish while towing a net,” he explained.

Mike Blocher commented that the decision to go for John Deere propulsion came primarily from customers.

“We've used John Deere engines in other boats we've built, and our customers are very happy with them. You're basically putting your entire livelihood in a four- to six-week window, and failure is not an option. The John Deere engine is very robust, and that's what you need for that market,” he said.

The John Deere PowerTech 6135SFM85 engine was paired with a ZF Marine 360A transmission and a 26x26-inch Pac Master propeller, delivering 94% propeller efficiency at full power.

“The performance was incredible. Lightly loaded, we averaged 17 knots, which isn't bad for an 11-tonne boat with only 575hp. Loaded with 6 tonnes, it still ran 12 knots,” he said.

“The Bristol Bay area has an ageing fleet, and there's a big need for new boats. A proven Bristol Bay hull design with John Deere marine power is the perfect pairing for Bristol Bay fishermen.”

ANOTHER MILESTONE FOR HUON AQUACULTURE The salmon are in excess of 1kg, matching the size of a small proportion of salmon grown onshore by the world’s leading salmon companies based in Norway and the Faroe Islands.

“Huon is setting a new benchmark for salmon farming in Tasmania,” said David Mitchell, Huon Aquaculture’s Freshwater General Manager.

“This has only been possible as a result of Huon’s new $43m Whale Point nursery – by growing the salmon on land to this size in larger tanks, we are significantly reducing the time the fish will spend at sea. Whale Point is the jewel in the crown of our freshwater farming operations, and I am excited to see such large, high-quality salmon leaving the nursery to go to sea in our first production trial of fish this size,” he said.

The production trial will monitor fish performance as they grow to harvest size at 5-6kg.

“The salmon have been on-grown at Whale Point for seven months which will result in a reduction of time spent at sea by between 30-40% from an average of 14 months, to 9 to 10 months. This will have significant benefits and will allow us to grow the fish to market size within a year.”

He commented that Whale Point uses world-leading water recirculation technology that cleans and re-uses 98-99% of the freshwater in which the fish are grown. This allows the water to

A new smartphone app to help the aquaculture sector in Ireland identify invasive alien species is being trialled in Mulroy Bay, Co Donegal. Developed by Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM), it helps users identify and learn about invasive alien species they should remain alert to.

An alien species is defined as any living specimen introduced outside its natural range. An invasive alien species is one whose introduction or spread may threaten or adversely impact on the biodiversity and related ecosystem of a given area.

“Invasive alien species present a major threat to biodiversity loss. An important part of BIM’s role in developing the Irish aquaculture sector is to work with operators to minimise the environmental impact and improve overall environmental performance of their operations,” said Catherine Morrison, BIM sustainability and certification manager BIM. “This app will help the aquaculture sector exchange information on any potential invasive alien species they encounter to help with their management.”

SALMON AQUACULTURE: CLEANING UP THE SEA LICE

Photo: JT electric

With sea lice still a significant problem for salmon farmers, aquaculture equipment supplier JT electric's integrated lumpfish feed system could offer an answer, reports Bonnie Waycott

One of the biggest obstacles facing the salmon farming industry is sea lice, a naturally occurring parasite that feeds on the blood, tissues and protective mucus layer on the skin of salmon, resulting in lesions. This leaves the fish vulnerable to disease and secondary microbial infections, and in some cases sea lice may induce osmoregulatory dysfunction, reduced feeding and growth. There is also catastrophic damage commercially, as the fish can't be sold due to the lesions caused by parasites.

Lice infestations are a global problem on salmon farms as they limit industry growth and compromise sustainability. Chemical treatments such as hydrogen peroxide baths or pesticides are often used in a sea lice outbreak, but more and more salmon farmers are now turning to natural methods or biocontrols due to an increasing number of resistant lice, negative public perceptions, a reduced acceptance of chemical use in food production and the urgent need for salmon farming to establish an effective and sustainable method of parasite control.

Among the biocontrols that are drawing attention is using lumpfish as a cleaner fish to reduce sea lice by eating them off salmon. A key part of integrated programmes to control sea lice, lumpfish are quick to rear, easier to handle and cope better in cooler waters compared to other cleaner fish such as ballan wrasse.

When feeding lumpfish, the traditional way has been by hand or with small feeders with timers placed on the pen. But they can also be fed in pens from ship-type feeding barges. JT electric, a technical products and solutions supplier for the aquaculture industry based on the Faroe Islands, has recently developed such a barge.

"Lumpfish are particularly important today in controlling sea lice," said Kristian Andreasen, Head of Key Account Management at JT electric.

"They eat sea lice as a snack. Using lumpfish instead of medicine and other de-lousing methods is much more 22 | SEPTEMBER 2019

environmentally friendly and won't affect mortality numbers in salmon either."

Established in 1972, JT electric began by producing underwater lamps for the salmon farming industry before its overseas market began to expand. Today it produces feeding systems, cameras, lighting and automation systems as well as electrical installations.

In 2013, it began converting ocean-going vessels into barges, and has been delivering around two a year ever since to Faroese salmon farmers Bakkafrost and HiddenFjord.

Earlier this year, JT electric also delivered one of the world's largest feeding barges to an extremely exposed fish farm in the Faroe Islands, operated by HiddenFjord. Equipped with a modern eight-line Multi-Feeding System, the barge is converted from a 79 metre bulk carrier with a feed capacity of 850 tonnes that can be easily upgraded to 1400 tonnes. The fully automated barge is able to feed both salmon and lumpfish through the same lines, with everything set up to be remotely operated from shore using desktops, tablets and smartphones, allowing changes to be made easily from anywhere.

The barge's lumpfish feeder is a software integrated feeding system and extension to the existing salmon feed system.

Consisting of silos and flexible augers that run to sluices, all of the feeder's mechanical components are controlled by JT electric's software OceanManager, which stores all data For the latest news and analysis go to www.worldfishing.net/news101

including how many lumpfish are released over how many doses.Mortalities can be registered manually, while all lumpfish data exists parallel to salmon data.

The lumpfish feeder can also be built into any existing feed barge, with placement of the silo varying from barge to barge.

The lumpfish are fed through the same blower, sluice, auger, selector valve, feed pipe and spinner as the existing salmon feed system (salmon feeding is paused when the lumpfish are being released). A typical number of lumpfish is 10% the amount of salmon. Lumpfish in the Faroe Islands are primarily imported from Iceland, while a lumpfish supplier is due to start up in the Islands and deliver its first batch soon.

"This latest barge is the third ship-design feeding barge that's been delivered to HiddenFjord, and the previously delivered barges also contain the integrated lumpfish and salmon feeding system," Kristian Andreasen said.

"Some older barges, both with Hiddenfjord and Bakkafrost, also have a lumpfish feeding system built into their existing feed systems. No parts have had to be changed. We have had one challenge – when building a feeder into an old feed system space can be a bit tight. But once installed, there are no issues whatsoever."

POSITIVE FEEDBACK With sensors to monitor oxygen, temperature and salinity, cameras for visual monitoring, control and maintenance systems, optimised feeding levels, fast data collection and export, JT electric's dual feeding system for salmon and lumpfish is pushing the company further in the field of technical equipment for aquaculture.

"We've received positive feedback mainly on two things," Kristian Andreasen added.

"With an automatic system, members of staff on site do not need to worry about releasing the lumpfish into the salmon pens. The biggest advantage with our solution is that when feeding the lumpfish through the same feed system from which salmon are fed, you are moving the lumpfish from the outskirts of the cages, where they usually eat, to the centre of the cages, where the salmon eat and where the sea lice problem actually is."

NEW DELOUSING BARGES A STEP FORWARD FOR AQUACULTURE

The growing aquaculture sector is facing a range of environmental and operational challenges, reports Bonnie Waycott

environmental impact and meet the highest environmental standards. The engines each generate 700kWm at 1800rpm, drive the delousing system pumps and provide power for other areas including accommodation facilities.

"Aquaculture companies are battling sea lice issues, which are threatening production facilities," said Paul Kriesels of Neptune Marine.

"Those firms are looking for integrated and efficient solutions to combat this disease by using delousing systems that can be installed on marine equipment."

The Hydrolicer fish delousing system installed on Salar uses seawater under pressure to gently dislodge sea lice. This is done through the creation of water turbulence, which makes the lice lose their grip on the surface of the fish. Lifting lice rather than flushing them away is considered a more gentle way of delousing.

Salar also contains a non-mechanical pump system, which moves live fish without harm or trauma. The amount of time to complete a delousing operation depends on the number of treatment lines, size of cages and number of cages to treat at 8 Salar has been built at Neptune in the Netherlands for Canadian salmon farming company Cermaq Canada

In order to ensure an efficient and sustainable industry, onthe-water solutions for fish farms are now drawing increasing attention.

Neptune Marine, a Dutch maritime service provider and specialised supplier of marine solutions, has been building, repairing, mobilising and chartering vessels since its establishment in 1972. So far, its main markets have been the offshore and civil construction industry.

Now its services expand to other industries including aquaculture, with the development of a range of support vessels including de-lousing barges and multi-purpose workboats. With clients mainly in Norway, Scotland and Canada, and additional customers in Europe, Africa and Australia, Neptune Marine's key aim is to minimise environmental impact and offer operational excellence and reliability to aquaculture operators.

Parasitic sea lice are known to significantly disrupt salmon farms, resulting in serious problems for aquaculture. In order to remove lice from fish, various treatments are available, from mechanical methods to biocontrols.

But Neptune Marine's answer to lice infestation is delousing barges. The company recently built a 31 metre barge, Salar, at its yard at Aalst in the Netherlands for Canadian salmon farming company Cermaq Canada, which will use the barge at fish farms along the Canadian west coast.

Scheduled for delivery in July 2019, the non-self propelled vessel will be equipped with a PGHF fish pump and a 100% environmentally friendly Hydrolicer fish delousing system (four treatment lines) from Norwegian firm Hydrolicer Productions.

The system uses no chemicals and can handle 40 tonnes of fish per hour per treatment line.

Power for Salar comes from the MAN D2862LE328 engines with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, complying with the IMO TIER III emission requirement to minimise

a particular location, but a four-line system will handle a 500tonne cage in around 3.5 hours, not including rigging time.

"Salmon spend most of their growth period in the open sea and are exposed to parasites like sea lice," said Øyvind Nymark of Hydrolicer Productions.

"Sea lice are a natural part of the ecosystem and a common problem for aquaculture. Fish famers also have clear governmental requirements on acceptable levels and will use various methods to prevent and keep the sea lice away from the fish. However, when these levels are met or overstepped, which they will at some point, treatments are needed."

"With our delousing system, the fish are pumped through the Hydrolicer and the lice are removed gently. The fish are then sent back to sea to continue their growth, free of lice. The treatment is done in less than a minute. All transport water is filtered, and sea lice are collected on the barge and destroyed."

Salar also contains accommodation quarters for staff and a grader, which will grade fish into two sizes immediately after delousing and deliver them back to different pens and directly to wellboats.

"Our barges are specifically designed for readiness and the purpose of immediate response if there is a dramatic increase in sea lice," Paul Kriesels said.

"They can also be used as a tool to keep lice levels low. Our latest delivery, Salar, can also expand from a four-line to sixline system."

Salar comes hot on the heels of Hydroflow, Neptune Marine's 2017 delousing barge that was built for the Norwegian market and also contains equipment from Hydrolicer Productions. With four treatment lines and the capacity to treat around 200

AQUACULTURE

tonnes of fish per hour, Hydroflow was delivered in October 2017 and is based on a basic pontoon design with a new type of fish pump that was designed without moving parts and is capable of handling an average weight of 6kg. Hydroflow also uses cold seawater that is considered gentler and less stressful for the fish, resulting in more effective delousing and optimal fish welfare. The filtration system was also upgraded to a filter with two large, heavy-duty stainless steel drums.

"Our systems are well-recognised and are proven efficient tools in the fight to gain control of the sea lice problem," said Øyvind Nymark.

"The main reason for this is that they maintain the most important aspect of handling live fish, which is optimal fish welfare. More than 120 lines have been delivered to countries including Norway, Scotland, Ireland, the Faroe Islands and Canada."

VESTMANNAEY HEADS NEW TRAWLER SERIES Built for Bergur-Huginn by Vard Aukra in Norway, Vestmannaey is expected to be followed shortly by sister vessel Bergey, and then a further five for fishing companies Skinney-Thinganes, Útgerðarfélag Akureyringa and Gjögur.

The Vard-designed 28.90 metre trawlers are unusually broad with a 12 metre beam, providing space for a 240m3 fishroom.

Accommodation is for up to 13 persons.

Each trawler is powered by a pair of 294kW Yanmar 6EY17W main engines driving Finnøy reduction gears and twin 2000mm diameter propellers designed for silent operation. This innovative approach to fishing vessel design is expected to provide all the towing power these trawlers require. Each reduction gear has a power take-off and the auxiliary engine is a Nogva Scania DI13.

The new thinking doesn’t stop there as this new series is fitted out with the latest in permanent magnet electric winches from Seaonics, with Scantrol autotrawl control systems.

Wheelhouse electronics are mainly from Furuno, and the package also features a 3D WASSP multibeam sounder, as well as Vard’s SeaQ management system.

According to skipper Birgir Thór Sverrisson who brought the new trawler home from Norway, Vestmannaey is a very quiet ship and the engines can hardly be heard.

“It’s a fantastic ship in every way and very well equipped,” he said, commenting that it is a big step from the old Vestmannaey the new trawler replaces.

“There are much better facilities compared to the old Vestmannaey. That includes the working areas in the wheelhouse and the catch handling deck, and there are big changes there.”

The new Vestmannaey won’t be fishing right away, as the catch handling systems have yet to be fitted, and Birgir Thór Sverrisson expects the new trawler to be ready for sea at the end of August or in early September.

FINANCE FOR THE SERIES Financing for six of the seven trawlers in the series has been arranged with Export Credit Norway, which is wholly owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Trade and Fisheries. Export Credit Norway will provide export financing for six of the seven trawlers; a total loan of approximately NoK500 million, with Icelandic bank Landsbankinn acting as guarantor for the loans.

The companies taking advantage of the Export Credit Norway facility are Bergur-Huginn, Skinney-Thinganes, and Gjögur, each of which is taking delivery of two trawlers, while the seventh trawler’s owner, Útgerðarfélag Akureyringa, has made its own arrangements.

“Well done to Vard Aukra who has secured this valuable newbuild contract for seven vessels. The shipyard has clearly impressed the Icelandic consortium from both a technical and a commercial viewpoint, and we are delighted to be able to offer competitively priced vessel financing as part of the deal,” said Olav E. Rygg, director of lending at Export Credit Norway.

He commented that the initiator behind the venture was fishing company Bergur-Huginn, which was already familiar with the quality of fishing vessels built by Vard Aukra as well as financing options from Export Credit Norway.

The first of a series of seven new trawlers for Icelandic owners, Vestmannaey VE-54, has docked in its home port for the first time, ahead of the remaining six trawlers for four different companies

“Subsequently, Bergur-Huginn contacted other Icelandic fishing companies to enter into a consortium that could cooperate with regards to building the vessels and secure financing of them,” he said.

“To build a series of seven identical vessels has obvious advantages with regards to reducing both cost and project execution risk. Although each owner is responsible for the financing of their own vessels, the consortium approach has allowed us to ‘copy & paste’ parts of the financing process, which has saved both time and energy for all parties involved.”

Icelandic boatbuilder Trefjar has supplied several new vessels to UK customers this year, with Cleopatra 33s delivered to Fraserburgh and Barra, and a Cleopatra 32 to Whalsay.

Fraserburgh fisherman Gary Noble took delivery of Golden Dawn FR-8 and is fishing for prawns and crabs, and planning to alternate this with some seasonal fishing for mackerel using the boat’s DNG jigging machines. On Barra, Jonathan Boyd took delivery of Árelía CY-2 earlier this year and the new boat is skippered by his son Oran.

While both boats are expected to work yearround hauling around 1000 traps a day, Árelía is also rigged for netting with a Meydam and Spencer Carter deck equipment.

Both Golden Dawn and Árelía have a FPT C90 main engine fitted in the aft engine space, driving a ZF 286IV reduction gear. Both have a central fishroom with capacity for twelve 380 litre tubs and a seawater sprayer system to keep catches in peak condition.

Jimmy Hutchinson and his sons in Whalsay opted for a different design, choosing a Cleopatra 32, the first of this type of boat to be fitted out for fishing. The Cleopatra 32 has a hull design that was originally developed for the oil

industry and the yard has delivered a number of these as workboats over the years.

Endeavour LK-11 is slightly shorter, but still has the same twelve-tub fishroom capacity as the Cleopatra 33. This time the choice went to a Doosan L086TIM main engine driving a ZF 286IV reduction gear, and Endeavour also has a 5.50kW Scam/Kubota generator. The package of mainly

WHITELINK TAKES DELIVERY OF FIRST NEWBUILD Whitelink Seafoods has expanded its scallop fleet with a new vessel delivered by Macduff Shipyards, reports Dave Moore The background to Eternal Light goes back to the summer of 2017 when the first plans were laid for a new scalloper, working with the requirements for an overall length under 16.45 metres and capacity to tow ten dredges each side.

The focus was also on developing a hull design that would continue to be economic to run in future years, along with enough working deck space for efficient gear handling with outer hull tipping doors, as well as an automated catch handling system. The hull design was completed with Macduff Ship Design, using CFD technology to optimise it for fuel efficiency, with the final design approved by Seafish and the first steel was cut by Macduff Profilers in the summer of 2018.

The hull modules were assembled at Macduff Shipyards in Buckie and Eternal Light was launched in March for fitting out.

Eternal Light is now fishing for Whitelink Seafoods, with catches landed to the company’s factory in Fraserburgh, steaming southwards to fish in the Channel following a short shakedown trip after delivery. Skipper Ian Taylor and his crew expect to work on a semi-nomadic basis, fishing with scallop gear supplied by Oban Scallop Gear.

NEW EXPERIENCE “Building Eternal Light has been a completely new experience for us. From the outset, Macduff Shipyards ensured that it would be a smooth process by liaising closely with Ian Taylor, George Jack and ourselves every step of the way, as did the other major suppliers and service providers,” said Whitelink Seafoods director Andrew Sutherland.

“It’s very satisfying for everyone associated with the company that Eternal Light could be built in close proximity to Fraserburgh, which is the headquarters of Whitelink Seafoods.

We are delighted with the end result and wish skipper Ian Taylor and the crew safe and successful fishing in years to come.”

Eternal Light measures 19.20 metres overall, with a 7.20 metre beam and a moulded depth of 4.20 metres. At the centre of Eternal Light’s layout is the enclosed catch handling area arranged between the working deck area and a weathertight whaleback. The deck crew scallops off the fore end of the side conveyors.

A Geneglace one-tonne flake ice machine, together with most of the plant for the fishroom refrigeration system installed

by Airo-Tech Solutions Ltd, is housed in this internal area, which is also racked out to provide secure storage for spare scallop gear and hardware.

There is a noticeable amount of space on board, providing working space at main deck level. The split winches are located on the main deck while the gilsons are mounted on the central steel shelterdeck and the pulling-down winches are mounted on the amidships gantry legs.

The split trawl winches, outriggers, outer hull tipping doors and catch conveyors are all custom designed, manufactured and commissioned in-house by Macduff Shipyards. The port and starboard wing fishing consoles, which enable the skipper 28 | SEPTEMBER 2019

to have full control of the complete shooting and hauling sequence, are central to the full package.

The fishing gear is deployed from the split winches forward and mounted on raised bed, angled slightly outwards to give direct leads over the top of the outer hull doors to the hanging blocks mounted on the outriggers.

The 20-tonne core pull winches are fitted with Haggunds compact two-speed drive motors for faster hauling and shooting.

260 fathoms of 26mm diameter trawl wire supplied by Karl Thomson of Buckie are accurately spooled on the drums at all times. A digital display console in the wheelhouse provides the skipper with a continuous readout of the wire length shot and shooting/hauling speeds.

A pair of 10-tonne Brevini gilson winches supplied are mounted on the shelterdeck by the legs of the goalpost-style lifting gantry amidships. Twin 3-tonne pull down winches are located on platforms welded to the tubular steel legs of the gilson gantry well above main deck level.

The winch package also includes one-tonne tipping winches, which are mainly used when changing over dredges at sea during a trip, and these are mounted on short derricks towards the top of the main lifting gantry.

Macduff also fabricated the 10 metre outer hull tipping doors.

Pivoted at the gunwale rail and extending for more than half the vessel’s length, the self-tipping doors are raised by two hydraulic rams mounted just inboard of the main deck scuppers.

The dredges are emptied at the end of each tow by raising the tipping doors, which drops the scallops into the hopper that extends the length of the scallop bars. A slow-moving conveyor at the bottom of each side hopper leads scallops and stones through openings in the otherwise fully enclosed forecastle bulkhead to the catch sorting areas forward. Crewmen select scallops from the conveyor as stones and other debris are returned to the sea through side chutes. Generous storage provision is made for filled baskets of scallops, before the

contents are delivered via a central chute to a stainless steel reception hopper in the fishroom for bagging in 38kg bags.

Eternal Light’s GRP-lined fishroom is equipped with a fanbased evaporator refrigeration system and has capacity for 750 bags of scallops. Chilling comes from three large-capacity evaporator fans with automatic defrost, mounted in a single unit on the forward bulkhead of the fishroom.

Bagged catches of king scallops are unloaded by a Thistlelift MFB 8 stiff boom landing crane positioned on the full-width forward section of the shelterdeck.

FISHING ELECTRONICS The electronics in Eternal Light’s fishroom include Furuno’s new CH-500 searchlight sonar. Featuring the latest signal processing, sensing and other technologies, this provides longer detection range, faster training speed, sharp echo image and built in stabiliser, and is a successor model of the highly popular and successful CH-250 sonar.

Seafield Navigation supplied a FishingWin (formerly Sodena) plotting system with pre-mapped 3D high resolution seabed charts from Shetland south to the French coast. Incorporating more than a billion soundings and representing a five-year initiative by Seafield Navigation, pre-mapped charts enable skippers to fully visualise new grounds from the first tow, without the need for a vessel to build up historical evidence.

The 3D display gives ground contours, which can be overlaid with hard/soft ground discrimination data provided by Rozanne through a Koden CVS-1410HS echosounder. The FishingWin system also gives the facility to track the ends of the scallop beams. Skipper Ian Taylor chose the FishingWin 3D system, having

8 The main 20 split trawl winches are mounted forward on the main deck

been highly impressed by the benefits it yielded when installed on Georgia Dawn, when it enabled him to work new grounds and customise tows around ground edges, gullies and peaks.

Eternal Light’s main vertical sounder is a Simrad ES80 c/w 38KhZ split beam transducer.

The forward vision perspective by the Furuno CSH 500 searchlight sonar is complemented by a WASSP F3 160Khz multibeam sonar system. This unit is interfaced to a Furuno TimeZero Professional V3.1 plotting system. As an integral part of the package Furuno UK supplied, the TimeZero unit is interfaced with the vessels two FAR-1513 BB radars to display AIS and ARPA information.

The internal layout of Eternal Light’s wheelhouse was designed to ensure easy access from the fishing consoles located at the forward corners of the wheelhouse, from which the full shooting/hauling sequence of the gear can be controlled, adjacent to duplicate sets of engine/steering controls mounted on slim consoles.

B ORN TO FISH.

Captain Michelle Rittenhouse is proud to be a third-generation commercial fisherman in the waters off Kodiak Island, Alaska.

She began fishing alongside her mother at age 7. After acquiring her grandfather’s fishing boat, she repowered the 1974 vessel with a John Deere marine engine. Rittenhouse says the “powerful little engine” is not only quiet and reliable, it has improved the boat’s speed and performance — allowing her to pursue her passion and continue her family’s legacy. “There is no doubt in my mind.

This is what I love doing.”
