When Ejner Klitlund and his son Rasmus Klitlund decided on a new fishing boat, it was natural that they approach Jobi Yard. With a design by Danish naval architect Vestværftet A/S of Hvide Sande, they had the hull built in Poland.
So far this year, the sandeel season has been one of the best for years, with fishing strong enough to leave industrial trawlers queueing to land at Triple Nine’s Thyborøn factory.
Danish company Carsoe specialises in fish processing systems and has seen its share of the market expand significantly, having tendered successfully for six out of seven contracts for shrimp trawlers since 2015.
It’s a focal point for European fishing – every two years the Danfish Exhibition provides a unique platform for the fishing industry as the city of Aalborg buzzes with visitors from Denmark and around the world.
The latest pelagic trawl doors from Thyborøn Skibssmedie combine the functions of the adjustable Flipper doors with a new design, with some outstanding results both in trials on herring at the end of last year and more recently on horse mackerel and blue whiting.
Thyborøn trawler/seine netter Aaltje Postma has been delivered to its owners following a major refit at the Karstensens yard in Skagen which included adding six metres to its length.
CT international has recently developed the first on board steam cooker for snow crab and other shellfish. The steam cooker allows a more gentle processing of the crab, leaving more taste and texture in the meat. This ensures a higher quality product for end-users.
Aalborg company Carsoe has been selected by Royal Greenland to supply a complete processing line for the company’s new factory fillet trawler, one of two new Skipsteknisk-designed vessels being built for the company at the Astilleros de Murueta yard in Spain.
The EU has just set out this year’s sandeel quotas and there is good news in store for Danish fishing, which looks to be getting the best quotas the fleet has seen for more than ten years. In February ICES announced its advice on sandeel fisheries, with the expectation that there would be a healthy 2017 quota.
The Danish Fishermen’s Producers Organisation (DFPO) and The Danish Pelagic Producers Organisations (DPPO) have been awarded MSC certification for the sandeel, Norway pout and sprat fisheries.
