These tubs will be used on board the two new Bergur-Huginn trawlers under construction in Norway and these are 460 litre tubs to replace the older 660 litre tubs. The smaller tubs have been chosen for quality reasons, with smaller amounts of fish in each tub in the fishroom, and also for ease of handling the smaller, lighter tubs.<\/p>\n
S\u00e6plast had previously supplied 750 tubs in the same orange colour for S\u00edldarvinnslan\u2019s trawler Gullver<\/em>, so the decision was taken to continue with the same colour.<\/p>\n Production at S\u00e6plast\u2019s factory has been busy with the Bergur-Huginn order since April and the full 3500 tubs are expected to be completed by November. The order for the tubs was formally signed at the recent Seafood Expo Global exhibition by S\u00edldarvinnslan\u2019s Sigur\u00f0ur Steinn Einarsson, Arnar Richardsson of Bergur-Huginn and S\u00e6valdur Jens Gunnarsson on behalf of S\u00e6plast.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were looking for a colour that would make our tubs stand out,\u201d said Sigur\u00f0ur Steinn Einarsson.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s nothing unusual for our tubs to get mixed up with others, and it\u2019s all too frequent that people pick up the nearest tub. This colour will hopefully make it easier for us to identify our own tubs. We have been working with S\u00e6plast\u2019s subsidiary iTub in improving awareness of how tubs should be handled and ensuring good handling of the containers in which we store catches is a joint project between seafood companies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Icelandic fishing company S\u00edldarvinnslan and its subsidiary Bergur-Huginn have placed an order for 3500 fish tubs from S\u00e6plast, opting for a striking orange colour for the tubs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1961,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-1960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fish-handling"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1960","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1960"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1960\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1962,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1960\/revisions\/1962"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1960"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1960"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1960"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=1960"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
