The Danish Isefjord and East Jutland blue shell mussel fishery has been certified as a sustainable and well-managed fishery against the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) environmental standard. This is the eighth fishery in Denmark to obtain MSC certification and products from the fishery will be eligible to carry the internationally recognized, blue MSC ecolabel. Becoming MSC certified means that the fishery now provides an additional 5,000 tonnes of MSC certified fish to consumers, adding to the already impressive Danish quantity of more than 100,000 tonnes sustainably caught seafood yearly.

The Danish Naval Design and Marine Consultancy Knud E. Hansen A/S has developed a highly efficient 50 m factory trawler with a focus on operating efficiency and maximised catch processing facilities. The design delivers excellent fuel economy, reduced environmental impact, and the flexibility to be operated as a single or pair trawler.
