When you see the drawings of Havyard's new Shrimp trawler design
555, you are amazed by the new and different design.
A ”market oriented” vessel where fuel economy, safety of the crew,
optimized fishing technology, efficient production and handling of
the catch all are top priorities in the plans for this
revolutionary shrimp trawler.
It is the company Remoey Havfiske with ship owner Olav Remoey who
are planning to invest in the shrimp industry and the new trawler.
The investment is welcomed, as it gives a hint of optimism in an
industry that has been hit hard on the global market with low kilo
prices caused by too many suppliers of coldwater shrimps.
According to the Norwegian newspaper Folkebladet.no the interrest
for shrimp fishery was very low among the fishermen in Normay.
This years quantity is expected to be around 10,000 tonnes, which
is far less than the top years where 80,000 tonnes were caught.
The company Remoey's skipper, Olav Remoey names apperly
stabilized shrimp prices and a reducing quotas in large shrimp
exporting countries like Canada and Greenland as reasons for their
optimism. And according the Norwegian newspaper he hopes the
shrimp vessel will be a future-oriented design which can ensure
strong sustainable and profitable harvesting of the amazing
resources, the shrimp. |
