Mackerel Landings Continue In Fuglafjørður
Pelagos in Fuglafjørður is busy processing mackerel landed by vessels fishing in international waters north of the Faroe Islands.
Several vessels have landed or are preparing to land catches at the plant.
Jupiter has landed 200 tonnes of mackerel and has already sailed back towards the fishing grounds.
Christian í Grótinum is currently landing around 420 tonnes at Pelagos and will return to the mackerel fishery once the landing is completed.
Norðingur is arriving with a further 190 tonnes. Its catch will be landed at Pelagos after Christian í Grótinum has completed its landing, after which Norðingur will also return to mackerel fishing.
Fishing has been poor over the past few days. The mackerel moved higher in the water column before disappearing from the fishing grounds, according to the report.
Tróndur Í Gøtu Lands 240 Tonnes
Elsewhere, the pelagic vessel Tróndur í Gøtu has arrived at Tvøroyri with 240 tonnes of mackerel.
The vessel has been fishing for mackerel in international waters to the north, where fishing conditions have been described as reasonable.
The catch will be landed to Varðin Pelagic for human consumption.
Once the landing has been completed, Tróndur í Gøtu is expected to return to the mackerel fishing grounds.
