HB Grandi\u2019s figures show that its two new pelagic vessels Venus and V\u00edkingur between them landed 95,600 tonnes valued at ISK3.7 billion. This is a considerable drop compared to 2015 when the company\u2019s three older pelagic vessels landed 128,000 tonnes with a value of ISK4.6 billion, with the poor capelin season last year a significant factor in the 25% overall reduction in pelagic landings and 19% drop in values.<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s three freezer trawlers landed a total of 21,000 tonnes last year, with a catch value of ISK5.9 billion. The reduction in volume was just 2.5%, while values in ISK-terms fell by 15% compared to the previous year, attributable to the rising strength of Iceland\u2019s currency compared to those of the countries where HB Grandi sells its produce.<\/p>\n
The four HB Grandi fresher trawlers\u2019 catch was down 4% to approximately 25,300 tonnes with a value of ISK 4.4 billion. This is a 14% drop compared to 2015. As a whole, the company\u2019s trawler fleet as a whole landed approximately 46,300 tonnes of groundfish with an overall value of ISK10.3 billion.
