A key challenge for the further development of this fleet is to develop better systems for handling and storing the catch on board. Through this project, the shipping company Ervik & Sævik in collaboration with the equipment supplier MMC Tendos and the R&D institute SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture aims to develop the next generation of gentle and efficient systems for handling pelagic catches on board. The new concept has never before been used in fishing, and is based on negative pressure loading and pressure relief. The technology could lead to a possible added value of the catch as an effect of higher product quality, and a possible higher degree of utilization of marine resources for human consumption. The new system will also mean that the crew's HSE is taken care of in a good way as several heavy operations will be replaced by automatic solutions. In addition, it makes vessels even more flexible for use in offshore assignments for large parts of the year as fishing only takes place 5-7 months / year. Furthermore, the gain for the shipping company is increased sales. If an average price increase of the raw material of NOK 0.25 / kg is estimated, this corresponds to NOK 3 million in extra income per year. If the majority of the Norwegian pelagic fishing fleet moves in the same direction, and the fishing industry wants to increase its margins accordingly, one can assume increased earnings in the area of NOK 300-400 million per year. Norwegian pelagic fish we could improve its reputation and strengthen its market position. Upon completion of the project, MMC Tendos will have a new product on the market. The renewal of the northern European fleet is large, and this should indicate that it will be possible to deliver 15-20 equipment packages annually with a price of approximately NOK 15 million. For MMC Tendos, this means a potential for turnover in the order of NOK 260 million annually. The project applied for is crucial for the innovation to be realized.
