Northwest Fisheries Consortium Consortium home Ships Products English General information crabbers Treskolovy general information The Consortium's fleet includes more than 20 fishing and support vessels. Foreign-built fodder freezer trawlers and PST-type vessels are used for fishing. Such vessels can catch bottom fish species (such as cod, haddock) with bottom trawls in the North-East Atlantic, in the Barents and Norwegian Seas. On board the vessels there are factories for the processing of catches, which produce finished products, including fillets. Then the products are reloaded at sea to transport vessels for further delivery to the port or delivered to the port directly by fishing vessels. For crab fishing, medium-tonnage trawlers are used, completely re-equipped for specialized crab fishing with crab traps. Crab fishing vessels hunt Kamchatka (king) crab and opilio snow crab in the Barents Sea. Finished products are produced on board crab fishing vessels, then they are loaded onto transport vessels at sea for delivery to the port or delivered and unloaded at the port by crab fishing vessels.
