Harvest vessels process the fish immediately, hence do not transport live fish. This means that more fish can be carried compared to live fish transport which requires large volumes of water. This results in smaller vessels requiring less fuel and subsequently reduced emissions per kilo fish transported. At the same time, more fish reaches the dinner table because mortality during loading, transport, and in holding pens is eliminated. This provides more kilos over which emissions can be distributed, creating a more sustainable product from the fish we transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A well-developed cleaning and control regime is essential to ensure food safety. The vessels undergo an extensive washing and disinfection routine after each fish handling \u2013 the factory and associated equipment are manually washed and disinfected, while the piping system on board is cleaned using a \u201cClean In Place\u201d (CIP) system. We have developed a CIP system that maintains the quality of the cleaning while keeping the cleaning time to a minimum. This system is based on over a decade of experience operating harvest vessels. Many effective solutions ensure proper drainage between cleaning steps, which further improves cleaning quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cleaning is verified using various sampling methods, such as ATP tests, swab tests, and water samples, after each delivery of fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
