The need to be able to work more weather, plus a confidence in the future of the fishing industry are behind the decision by Skagen skipper Christian Pilegaard to order a new shrimp trawler.
A drive to encourage Danes to eat more fish is being spearheaded by promotional organisation Fiskebranchen, supported by the Danish FPO, the Danish Seafood Association, the Danish Pelagic PO and several related organisations, pushing to increase consumption of locally-produced fish.
A Danish fishing vessel was lost on Saturday evening in a position 30 miles north of Skagen as it rapidly took on water. Two crew members were picked up by another boat fishing nearby.
Hvide Sande shipyard Vestværft has signed a contract with Norwegian company Knut Olav AS of Sørvågen for a new purse seiner/seine netter.
Denmark’s newest pelagic vessel, the Hirtshals-registered Ruth, has made a good start on blue whiting grounds west of the Hebrides.
The latest delivery from the Vestværft yard in Hvide Sande has been handed over to owners Gitte Henning and is ready to start fishing sandeel for human consumption. It has been designed to operate on herring, sandeel and sprat fisheries.
Sensors and sonars give you an idea of what’s going on with your fishing gear, but they don’t tell the whole story. To get the full picture, an underwater camera is what you need and there are a few of these on the market.
With the sandeel season almost ready to start, the Danish Pelagic PO, the Danish Fishermen’s PO and Marine Ingredients Denmark have lobbied fisheries minister Esben Lunde Larsen to sideline advice from DTU Aqua on sandeel.
Coastal fishing association FSK (Foreningen for Skånsomt Kystfiskeri – Association for Sensible Coastal Fishing) is presenting proposals to the Danish government for a redistribution of fishing quotas in a way that benefits coastal communities.
New markets, new products and more customers are the reasons for FF Skagen’s positive financial results.
