Start year 2013 End year 2014 Funding (€) € 249,000 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/900930/ Summary The trawl fleet aims to deliver products of cod, haddock and saithe of the highest quality as practically possible. This can be done through short-term live storage, increased efficiency and a high degree of automation. The production lines of the future on board must have flexibility and be adapted to varying raw materials and products.
There has been very little technological development in the last 30 years in processing (catch processing) of whitefish, and the whitefish industry lags behind the salmon industry in terms of innovation and technology development in first handling / slaughter and filleting.
The technology development in the fleet link has largely been focused on vessel design for reduced fuel consumption, gear development and efficient production (with well-known technology) and little on gentle handling of the catch.
It is aimed at, i.a. with this project, to coordinate ongoing research at Nofima and SINTEF and contribute to these competence environments being able to collaborate more closely through new activities in the Research Council of Norway and FHF.
Goal: to contribute to further developing the trawl fleet's competitiveness by moving the quality of the fleet's products towards optimal quality (as good as “practical” possible).
Sub-goals for phase 1
• To conduct a working seminar (workshop) with participants from shipping companies, shipbuilders and the supplier industry.
• To create an overview of status and research challenges (“state of the art”) within technology for processing on board.
• To carry out selected experiments with transfer and storage of live fish before killing.
• To prepare specific scenarios for the future automated process line on board in close dialogue with the shipping companies.
• To identify implementation cases and describe development processes for the realization of the automated process line of the future.
