Good year for FF Skagen
New markets, new products and more customers are the reasons for FF Skagen’s positive financial results.

Bluefin gaining strength
Bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean and Atlantic are doing better, according to a report by the French National Committee for Fisheries and Fish Farming (CNPMEM). Although the situation today is not perfect, bluefin have not disappeared as some NGOs had loudly predicted would happen by 2012.

Pelagic stalwart sails south
Síldarvinnslan’s pelagic vessel Birtingur has been sold and this week sailed from its home port of Neskaupstaður for the last time, heading for its new owners in Las Palmas. Birtingur has been bought by Polish company Atlantex and is expected to be renamed Janus once the formal handover has taken place.

A film by French filmmaker Mathilde Jounot has been premiered at the annual Pêcheurs du Monde film festival currently taking place in Lorient. The crowd-funded documentary attracted enough backing to be able to delve into issues surrounding increasing regulation of the oceans, as well as the question of privatisation and the shadowy role in this played by NGOs.
Kleven to build for Spain
