– A relief

Now, during the peak of the cod fishery is the line to deliver. The fish is pumped ashore and capacity at Norway Seafoods Båtsfjord has increased many fold.

– It means a lot that we get delivered. It is a relief for us, and that we have to do it on board, says Knut-Jarle Johansen, fishing in Båtsfjord.

The trucks e as good as gone. The same vessel and discharge back and forth that can harm fish.

Fast process

Reception has been both buying station and production line. The fish are sent on a transport line from the quay to be raw material ready for filet hall.

– We can buy fish, store in tanks, and can send fish into production next day, says Alexei Kichaikin, assistant operations manager.

For smaller boats have Båtsfjord-now taken care of the old receipt, which still has big tanks and truck.
