Hire of trawls for experimental fishing with bottom trawl and floating trawl.

This expedition is part of the project "bottom contact in fishing with trawl for bottom fish". The Directorate of Fisheries would like to hire a factory/freeze trawler with a cod trawler north of 62° N. All catches in the trial period shall be written off the vessel ́s own quotas. It will be important that the vessel has enough quota available to carry out the trial. The vessel must be suitable for fishing research and have sufficient work place both on the trawl cover for work with tools, and at the factory deck for longitudinal measurements and weighing fish, and any processing of catch samples. The expedition will have a duration of approx. 18 days with an option for up to 3 days extra if needed and is planned to be carried out in the second quarter of 2026, as agreed between the lessor and the landlord. The tenderer will keep boats and crew as regular operations, including bunkers, lubricants, etc.
