Saithe and redfish looking promising
HB Grandi fresher trawler Helga María AK-16 docked in Reykjavík yesterday with 90 tonnes on board after a short trip on grounds off south-western Iceland. According to skipper Bjarni H. Garðarsson, they sailed last Friday but had to cut the trip short due to a fault in the ship’s steam boiler.
Two-day Westfjords saithe bonanza
HB Grandi’s trawlers have made a good start to the new year. As in previous years, the search is on for saithe around the coast, but saithe are not easy to find. On the other hand, there is plenty of cod at this time of year while redfish remain elusive.
