The port of Skagen in Denmark has reached an agreement with Norwegian fisheries group Pelagia to set up in the port’s Stage 3 development.

EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier’s visit to Lemvig and Thyborøn in Denmark, highlighting the importance of fisheries to the economy and to coastal communities, has been welcomed by the European Fisheries Alliance (EUFA).

The latest addition to Denmark’s pelagic fleet is the latest in the long series of pelagic vessels emerging from the Karstensen yard in Skagen. Three hundred people gathered at the Skagen quayside to celebrate the christening of the new Themis.

Hanstholm fisherman Kim Pedersen has dreamed for almost twenty years of being able to build a new boat. The dream has been shared with his wife, Janni, and it was logical that the new trawler should be named after her, as were his previous boats.

New shrimper Sajoni was christened at the Skagen quayside at the end of last year, and in proper Danish style, built for Henrik Terpet and Brian Sørensen to fish for shrimp and freeze on board. It replaces their older vessel that has served them well for the last five years.

Hvide Sande skipper Jan Mathiesen didn’t have far to go to place an order for a new trawler/flyshooter, and yesterday signed a contract with local yard Vestvært for a new vessel that is scheduled to be delivered in the spring of 2020.

It’s fifty years since a metalworking company in the Danish west coast port of Thyborøn started making trawl doors, and for half of those years Ole Kjærgaard has been selling Thyborøn Skibssmedie’s distinctive blue trawl doors as its markets around the world have continued to expand.

Technology group Wärtsilä continues to provide highly efficient, fully integrated propulsion solutions for fishing vessels with yet another high-profile order. Lunar Fishing Company based in Scotland, is replacing one of its trawler/purse seiners and has chosen Wärtsilä propulsion.

Aalborg company Carsoe, which specialises in complete processing decks for fishing vessels, has signed a heavyweight contract with the Russian Fishery Company.

The 75 by 20 metre workshops are right by the quayside in Skagen, and work had already begun at the new facility before the formal opening took place earlier this month. This is the first new net loft for many years to open for business in Skagen.
