Landings of blue whiting in the Faroe Islands have eased after a busy start to November. However, several major pelagic vessels still call at Fuglafjørður with large catches from Faroese waters.
On 18 November, Arctic Voyager arrived in the evening with 1,950 tonnes of blue whiting, which were landed at Havsbrún, Fuglafjørður.
The same day, Høgaberg landed 1,050 tonnes at Pelagos, Fuglafjørður, which were sold for human consumption. The Catch was also taken in Faroese waters.
Finnur Fríði added to the activity earlier in the week, landing 1,200 tonnes on 14 November at Havsbrún.
Greenlandic Fleet Boosts Volumes
Greenlandic vessels have supplied a significant share of recent landings. On 13 November, Tasiilaq landed around 1,200 tonnes at Havsbrún, followed the same day by Polar Amarok with 1,700 tonnes.
One of the biggest landings this season came on 10 November, when Christian í Grótinum arrived at about 14:00 with 2,500 tonnes of blue whiting, caught south of the Faroes and unloaded immediately to Havsbrún.
