We again set our sights on the global fishing and aquaculture industries by reviewing a lineup of newly built and delivered vessels. The majority of vessels are from Norway and include trawlers, fish transporters, and farm support workboats, though we will also cover a feed barge in New Zealand, a net cleaning landing craft that will operate in Western Scotland, and a trawler for Southwestern France.
We will also feature an interesting innovative project wherein a Norwegian technology company is developing a new type of closed containment system for fish farming. Among its offered benefits are a minimised risk of contamination, greater monitoring and control, more efficient breeding, and a reduced environmental impact.
As always, readers are invited to visit Baird Maritime for the latest news, vessel reviews, and features covering the fishing and aquaculture industries.
– "The dimensions and geometry are designed the way the salmon likes best and with the right pressure in terms of depth."
– "China's approach here may be more like the February 2023 spy balloon incident over the United States: we made a small mistake, but the problem is solved now, so don't 'overreact'."
– by Denny Roy, Senior Fellow at the East-West Center in Honolulu
