SR630_Sail Power (Part 1)_D110

The aim of the project is to develop and test a means of integrating sail power for use on commercial fishing vessels, by combining traditional Cornish long liner sail designs with modern materials and technologies. The sail system will be used to enhance the propulsion supplied by the engine in a motor sail application. The vessel chosen to carry out these trials, the MFV Nova Spero will be equipped with modern sail and deck handling equipment. Initial trials will be carried out using the technology with an assessment of the sails performance in terms of handling and fuel saving. If initial trials prove successful the sail design and rig will be tested during a full commercial tuna fishing trip sailing from Newlyn, Cornwall to the Bay of Biscay.

Biodiesel at Sea

This document provides a non-technical summary of sea trials in a ~10 m class potting vessel running comparative fuel consumption tests using red (fossil) diesel and biodiesel. The vessel, FV Ma Gandole, is powered by a 20 year old Volvo MD70B 6 cylinder, normally aspirated, 120 hp diesel engine coupled to a 3:1 reduction gearbox, assumed to be fairly typical of many power plant of the Newlyn ~10 m class fleet. The sea trials demonstrated that both fuels started the engine equally well, and the vessel was felt to handle and perform equally well with either fuel.

Notes on Seafish 'Social License to Operate' workshop. London. 28 June 2016.

A social license to operate indicates the level of approval from the community that an industry has to operate. Seafish facilitated a workshop to explain the concept, how it works and the reasons for attaining and building high quality stakeholder relationships in this way. These notes are a summary of the workshop, the exercises undertaken and the comments made. Please also look at the presentation given at the workshop and the handouts which can all be found on the Seafish website http://www.seafish.org/responsible-sourcing/discussion-forums/the-common-language-group/social-license-to-operate.

Legislative Requirements for the Disposal of Seafood Waste

EU legislation on the disposal of animal by-products has and will continue to have major implications for the seafood industry. One effect of particular concern has been the ban on the use of landfill as a disposal route for most animal by-products and the additional inclusion of shell from shellfish as an animal by-product. To address industry concerns and develop a way forward Seafish established a Waste Working Group in April 2004 which brought together the various sectors of the seafood industry, the waste disposal and utilisation industries and industry regulators.

The Seafish Guide to DNA Testing of Seafood

This is one of a series of guides in which Seafish explores topical issues affecting the UK seafood industry. Here we look at how DNA testing is being used by the seafood supply chain, what it can detect, where DNA analysis is carried out and the development of comprehensive DNA databases.
